My Dear Kat,
To illuminate my main point, I first want to examine what it means to be present. Yes it’s a cool phrase, and yes I can generally say if it is the case, but what exactly are we talking about? Here’s my stab at it.
Some things are indisputable because their veracity stems from the experience itself. Even if it’s an illusion, a mirror, a trick of the light, it’s still indisputably my world. To the extent that our awareness and attention is on such experiences, we are present. Phrased like that, presence is a continuum, not a binary state. Nevertheless, the experience is closer to binary, like a seesaw, because of the way our attention focuses.
And so to my main point; I experience something existing that is not me and not you, but is us. It is clearer when we are physically together, and most so in sexual union, but it is not simply the sense of touch or the pleasures of the flesh, because my sense of its existence is other than my physical senses.
I struggle to write these words because what I am saying is so beyond my objective, scientific view of the world, yet it fits in with Eastern/spiritual views of oneness and unity. I feel as if I am in the process of turning a corner and perceiving a whole other landscape.
Kit
