Hi Doug, You wrote: But I think there is a next step, a deeper step: it is to the between. He writes of something *making* me feel alive, *generating* a feeling of life, *inducing* greater harmony: these speak of one (living) thing touching--meeting--another. It is this bumping, interacting, back and forth which is the essence of what he is pointing to. This happens only in the between.
I hear you speaking of ki. Here is a quote from Terry Dobson Sensei: You are not an inert piece of stuff. You are a vibrating, charged, radiant being. There is a meeting between us. That's ki. As i understand it so far, ki is conceptualized as permeating all matter, not just living beings. So it could also be experienced in relationship to open space, in any environment.
