Chapter Four
BUDDHISM and WHEELS
Focusing evolved to sense specific focal points. If this is a pleasurable experience, then we want to repeat it. Wanting is impossible without focusing. Focusing is the first step in the sequence which binds us to karma.
In Buddha's time, the spoked wooden cartwheel was causing a Cultural Revolution.
Buddha saw the connections: desire is self-perpetuating, and once the wheels of desire start turning, then they turn with their own karmic momentum.
Panoramic sensing neutralises desire. We can't think or want when we are panoramically aware.
Panoramic sensing is a way of using the senses, without any sensory indulgence or sensory withdrawal. It is a practical expression of the Middle Way.
