There is no fear in the water, hence its transparency. It takes different forms, different limits, but it knows it is always water.
Is not the perfect present the one that comes with the light and goes by with it?
But most of the time we do not pay attention to that light, it seems that someone could come and turn it off at will. The memory is the one that turns it off, adopting different forms (fear, hate, anger, anxiety…) and those characters that we tend to create since we are aware of ourselves: the black holes of the ego. The black hole is the one that consumes the light and rip “the eyes of the senses” out, turning the present time blind and removing our attention from the reality.
Those thoughts of memory and desire that cloud our present time, deny us the possibility to be responsible for our actions in real time, losing control of them, and therefore, losing our capacity for individual intervention, in community, with our environment and society.
But the memory of the feeling is what make us recognize the poison of a bee and the smell of apricot in our grandparents’ garden, though always transformed by the power of imagination. How could we change those feelings if they already have a predetermined image in our senses? I guess that is part of our work in the evolutionary process and the awakening of consciousness, to be able to see “the new” in every little thing we experience.
“El material que se repite es muchas veces lo que nos resistimos a saber de nosotros mismos. Por eso antes de percatarnos del vacío del yo, debemos experimentar al yo completamente, tal como aparece”. (M.Epstein)
“La memoria parece estar ligada en el alcance y la naturaleza de su contenido. No podemos recordar la compleja sutileza de la experiencia real; generalmente es una imagen simplificada. Cuanto con más frecuencia se la evoca, más simplificada se vuelve, y a menudo se descarta”. (D. Bohm)
Therefore, this research focuses on the attention of the creative process in real time, (is based on the discovery and has as a goal the discovery) and how that attention is interrupted by memories, past feelings and future uncertain and uncontrollable thoughts which deprive the development of our perception, that constant movement inwards and outwards, and the creative ability, which is essentially our experience of reality: a reality which dissolves time.
