Dear Hillary,
I'm so happy for you!
If you want to know more about it, just describe it as you perceive it, do
not explain it.
Does that make sense? This is important!
This counts for any K. and not K. related occurrence.
Beware of explanations.
> ...description of it in the literature...?
Literature would not give you a description per se, literature would give
you an explanation more than likely. Do not fall for that.
>I wondered where I was.
We are so used to looking for explanations, that's why you were wondering
where you were.
Just perceive, or observe. (disinterestedly)
To help you perceive "better(?)" do a direct description to yourself, not
to others (yet), they would take your words as an explanation.
Do you know Don Juan?
What you (quiet place) and I ( what I say about direct description)
together mean, he discussed when dealing with "stopping the world."
When Don Juan admonishes Carlos Castaneda to not "describe the world" he in
his native language meant, not to explain the world and make that
explanation a "description" (weak translation) or worse yet a prescription
for the world.
He wanted Carlos (and children especially) to perceive directly, not to see
the world though the distorted descriptions of the adults (explanations)
