Synopsis:
The time and place of our birth convey the cultural language that shapes pattern of thought and organizes perception into meaning and things. Perhaps by not questioning our ordinary understanding of things, we take for granted assumptions that create many of the problems experienced in our daily living. However, human knowledge can transcend the limiting structures that convey the ordinary sense of separate self with its problems and concerns. Therapy as knowledge can explore and thaw the frozen self of identity enabling more connective and dynamic ways of being. The Time, Space, Knowledge teaching conveyed by Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche serves as an enlivened ground and liberating vision of our self and the nature of all experience.
TSK IN PSYCHOLOGY
A number of long-time students of TSK have engaged in discussions about, and been fascinated by, the possibilities for how TSK IN PSYCHOLOGY might manifest today. To that point…
Hayward M. Fox, PhD is a clinical psychologist who has spent forty years as a psychotherapist and teacher. He has been a student of Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche’s vision of Time, Space, and Knowledge for thirty of these years. During this time he has conducted over 60,000 psychotherapy sessions; listening to people describe their deepest conflicts and concerns. Having traditional western psychology training, and the benefit of the TSK vision, both have given Dr. Fox a useful perspective on the causes and conditions of our unhappiness. It has become clear to him that we suffer from our self-preoccupation, the belief in our self as a separate entity that must be protected, maintained and perpetuated.
At the link provided below you’ll find a disarming and engaging NEW video. Dr. Fox reexamines the self at the center of experience, and finding it to be a mental construct, invites us to consider more open ways of being that increases ease, freedom and a sense of belonging.
