The mysterious nature of time

[zenmaster]

From what I've heard people leave "energy fingerprints" on things that they touch. So when an object is obtained in a store for instance, it has been touched by others and it means that the object has been "charged", more or less, with the energy that others leave, consciously or unconsciously, behind them by touching.

Consider that the energy imprinting is 'strong' enough to cause a 'place' or mineral to graduate to 3rd density.

So before one "charges" the object with its own energy the object needs to be "cleaned" from others energies before one proceeds to work with it. But truly I don't understand this completely either. It does sound logical to me when put like that, but I guess that there is no way of knowing it other than start practice it.

Some sensitives can feel and 'see' more of this residual energy than others. I can get an impression by holding it or focusing, but I don't know the principles of how they aid. I mainly got them out of curiosity, and they still seem like gadgets to me. (Shamans like gadgets.) I prefer to work just using active imagination - the crystal does seem to focus intent. For some reason, if I'm around other 'workers', my own abilities are increased significantly.

I can't see how the catch the ball concept is transcended. Please explain.

Let's say you have the space-time awareness to contrast the very real 'presence' with the very real 'illusion' (being vs doing, in the zone, in the now, etc and so on). This awareness, even though it 'seems' to come from a transcendent view, itself has a 'place' that is merely a part of the realization of 'one'. The experience of 'now' is necessarily interpretive (from prior experience), even with the relative freedom that comes from a modality of what some might call 'egoless-ness'. Although you can be somewhat disengaged with the illusion, that seems compelling to many, there is still one's own incomplete (due to being unrealized) 'illusion'.

So, whether he puts it in those terms or the terms of this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFgiUm4lQig), the results are the same. Life.

Can't argue that what it has to be is life - in the zen sense.
