Ok, I will prepare it soon and post it on the "Where Focus goes..." thread.
During the time I was reading the "Handbooks", I was feeling like it had to be read almost word by word, slowly, to take the time to "imagine" the meaning of each sentence. Many times reading once again to make sure I understood well before going any further. Many concepts were new to me, but at the same time, I felt like it was not foreign to me, but rather very intimately rooted in me.
That is how I got my first "trigger" of understanding. Not while reading, not even meditating, but while I was working cutting some wood outside
. I cut woods for 3 times that was needed
. And many more "trigger" came after, most of the times in action.
After a few years, I still get some "flashes" of understanding or I like to call it "new perspective", but much less than at the time I was reading them. There is certainly profound understandings to be made from the "handbooks" series, but it needs an openness not always available from us. Especially when we are overload with information and perspective
.
Namaste, Steven
