If we were able to take microscopically detailed snapshots of the tableaux before us every second, we'd be able to notice subtle changes from picture to picture regarding the color, shadow, position, and texture of the objects before us.
When awareness observes the act of seeing, it realizes that the visual field is never motionless, nor can it be. What is true of vision is also true for our other senses, including awareness of thought. The seeming stability of experience is an illusion, as are the enduring qualities of objects.
In fact, the universe is unfolding, expanding advancing through time... The universe's unfolding can even be sensed in our consciousness, whose flux is displayed before awareness moment by moment.

Classes today were packed full of useful information. Naomi is incredible at teaching specifics in a gentle way. Kevin taught about anatomy and how to start to understand our bones from the inside out. I have no idea about my body when it comes down to it, but I'm willing to learn.
i love this! <3
