Meeting 7

A point of support. Expanding perception

Where is your own point of support? When one difficulty takes up all your attention, the question is not only how to remove it. Alexander shows the difference between necessary action and struggle, and returns to expanding your own perception.

What the conversation covers

  1. Your own point of support
  2. Expanding perception and the material world
  3. Action without continuous struggle
  4. Help from others and your own ability to hear

This is a recording of a live meeting with participants' questions and examples. The topics describe its contents; they are not an outline for a separate course.

What makes it different

The author does not propose doing away with the difficulty. He explores how its place changes as perception expands.

After watching

Return to your own experience.

  1. Where is my point of support right now?
  2. Am I attending to the situation or constantly fighting it within myself?
  3. What else is present in my life besides this situation?
These questions for personal reflection were prepared by the editors from the recording.

Before choosing

What to keep in mind

Examples of pain and stress serve the discussion of perception. The recording does not suggest giving up necessary help or practical action.

Is this a session about getting rid of stress or pain?

No. Such examples appear in the recording, but this page offers a spiritual exploration of attention, not treatment or guaranteed relief. Necessary help and practical action still matter.
