The journey
Five images that change the conditions of attention.
The story is not a handbook. Its images offer situations in which perception, timing, boundary, and response can be examined.
The palaceBeing received without being able to orient
The lampA limited light that also implicates its holder
The four tasksDifferent realities require different kinds of attention
The underworldDepth requires instructions and a route back
The returnInner change enters relationship and ordinary life
The four tasks
A curriculum of attention.
The lamp does not abolish darkness. It changes the conditions of relationship.
Gather the golden wool
Wait, observe, and approach intensity indirectly.
Carry inaccessible water
Find a form capable of containing what cannot be seized directly.
Descend and return
Keep value, refusal, provision, and the route home in view.
