A Special Exercise in the Transcend quadrant which can be thought of from two main points of view:
- It’s commonly a warm-up for SHF Now because it can be easier to practice. Focuses on two complementary kinds of split-second Expansion/Contraction flow:
- New: The instant you become aware of an experience—whether the experience is beginning and you notice that as it happens, or your attention makes fresh contact with an experience that is already happening.
- Gone: The instant you become aware that an experience is partially or completely ending, whether you’re clear about what the experience is or not.
- It’s also a Direct Pointing technique which takes the Absolute as its focus range. While Expansion/Contraction is Space based (Contour of E/C Flow), New/Gone is time based (beginnings and endings happen Now).
Highlights the Absolute in the following ways:
- New points to what experience is like when there’s no friction in the sensory system (Absolute Activity). Gone points to how experience comes together and resolves into nothingness (Absolute Rest).
- New and Gone are always available, which points to Timelessness. If experience is always starting and stopping at the same time, then there is no timeline. It’s always (Absolute) Now.
- When New is continuous, that’s another way to understand Expansion. When Gone is continuous, that’s another way to understand Contraction.
