We are actually talking about a particular point of a cycle (transition of energies) where other forces can enter and direct things to another higher cycle, or return them to the beginning again. ‘Surface Tension’ now means the tension between the superficial consciousness and a more awakened state. Our ordinary senses exist in a time state. That is their life, their existence is defined by this mode of experience. This sensory mode is characterised by disconnectedness, by divisions, by this and that, by ebb and flow.
