From Inside
the practice
The view that is only available from inside.
what it is
What do you see when you remove what you expected to see?
the pair
Intuition. Both Antardrishti and Pratibha move beneath the surface of what the mind usually calls knowledge. Pratibha arrives before the question is fully formed. Antardrishti arrives by moving inside the question rather than staying outside it. One is pre-verbal. One is positional. Together they are the two movements of non-analytical intelligence — the flash and the shift. A mind that can do both can reach places that analysis structurally cannot enter.
the reflection
I know the difference now between looking at something and being inside it. I can feel it in retrospect — the exact moment the shift happened.
The outside view felt like safety. The inside view felt like reality. I had been choosing safety over reality without knowing that was the choice I was making.
I know it now.
