“The Unforeseen”, (the unexpected, the unanticipated), namely our experience of the “future” arriving into the present. Jonathan will develop our concept of time, notably the present, past and future, as actually experienced. These distinctions may be “arbitrary”, even overlap and may be illusory. We may believe that we “live” in the present, but may not fully “know” this realm, as our attention, focus, beliefs, conditioning and expectations exert their power, often unknowingly. Thus, we are repeatedly vulnerable to “the shock of the real”, the intrusion of Actuality. This is Buddhism 101: Dukkha, the Four Great Sights and Samvega.
