"Try this experiment: Close your eyes. Then look right for several seconds and feel whatever you feel. Look left and do the same. Then look upward, still with your eyes closed, and feel whatever you feel. Then look downward. While looking in each direction with your eyes closed, do your best to be very sensitive, feeling from your heart area as you would while viewing an emotion-laden photograph or painting. What do you feel in your physical body, and especially what do you feel in your emotional “body,” or the domain where you feel emotions?
"While looking with closed eyes in each of the four directions, which direction feels best: left, right, up, or down? Why? Why is there any difference in feeling-tone at all?
". . . Honestly, I am interested in very, very little that appears in the time of the human domain, which is quite shallow and ever-changing. But I'm obviously interested enough to continue choosing it. And for as long as I am effortlessly aware of this choice
as I am doing it, this moment-by-moment time-making motive of creating distinctions with my attention — in every moment I am open enough to feel this choice to find meaning in time, then in those moments my attention relaxes as love's knowingness and everything becomes obvious as love's spontaneous swell, making evident the deep heart-meaning of all happenings, instantly.
"Otherwise, I feel resistant and stuck, as if in a bad dream—forgotten to have been made by the choice to want something to happen in time."
