Bennett on Patterns

18/2/2013

 
"We labor under the misapprehension that we have to think up what we have to do. The truth is that this is not our responsibility, because the pattern of things is far greater than we can imagine  . . . the direct perception of our pattern belongs to  . . . the unconditioned side of our nature...

We are trying to get this pattern of the wholeness of our lives into our awareness...

Rare people can produce extraordinary events in the world because they are endowed with pattern awareness. By taking things within the scale of our own lives we can have a taste of this very special thing. Then our lives are not just the working out of the consequences of past causes, but have a creative feeling in them."
