3 Non-space, non-time of Butoh
Sinking into the darkness of body Now
we go down into the dimension of butoh. Hijikata
found the way into the special butoh dimension, and 50 years before only
Hijikata could enter the dimension. But now we all can enter the world where the butoh spirits are waiting
for you with the map of subbody butoh method. The
world which the world of butoh is not the consensus reality. The
consensus reality is a kind of common illusion. But now most of people who are
trained in the school believe it, then nobody doubt it. We were not taught
either another reality may exist nor we do not learn how to doubt this
consensus reality. It
is like all of us are under hypnosis. When we wake up from the hypnosis of consensus reality, another
reality will open in front of us. Butoh exist in this another world which has non- space, non- time. In that world, the live and the dead, human and animal can exchange each other. All qualia are flouting freely with shifting shapes and qualities in the multi-dimensional world. Where is the world like that? Yes, you enter the world every night in the dream. The dream is a sub-signal from the multi-dimensional world of qualia. Sigmund Freud and C.G. Jung named it as unconsciousness. But after
them so many people defined and interpreted in so many different ways, then now
the word is almost dead. A.Mindell use the word of the second process.
S.Nakazawa use the word of fluid intelligence. I call it the darkness of body
like as Hijikata. In the darkness of body, so many hobgoblins and monsters are locked in the tiny cage of dimensions and
crying. Every body who was grown up as a human has these hobgoblins rooms in
the darkness of body. They were treated as a monster and locked. However, is it true? They were just a new bud of possibility for human, werenft they? They are treated as a monsters by the reason because they do not work
well in the productive system. A lot of buds of new possibilities are locked and crush in the
darkness of body. I named it subbody. Now the time to release our subbody.@Don't you feel the sign of
squirming of subbody to go out? How can we go into the subbodyfs waorld? The world is folded in the very tiny and subtle dimension. Into the subtle
world At first we need to stop the daily consciousness. The consciousness need so much brain energy, then we can not notice the
subtle world by masking of the higher energy of consciousness. When you level down the consciousness by breathing, meditation, and so
on, you can contact with the subtle world of qualia flow. The subbody is hiding in the tiny signals of the qualia flow like a
momentary quivering, swaying, flirting. If you amplify the tiny signal of subbody by your whole body and mind,
the tiny signal will grow up to your subbody Butoh. gWhy couldnft you come out?h Try to ask to the subbody. However subbody can not speak, because most of subbody were born and immediately
locked before he/she learned language. If you want to communicate with subbody, the only one possibility is
to follow the movement of subbody by your whole bodymind. By following the subbody, you can understand what he/she wants to
become, where to move. The place is swaying between life and death, between being and
nothing. Every tragic events and extraordinary things are folded in the tiny
sway of qualia. Butoh unfolds that kind of special dimensions. Ash walk Stand as a ash pole body which your physical body and mind have burn
out. You are just a swaying ash pole. Hijikata said often that butoh is a dead body which stands for dear
life. Ash walking is one of the most basic butoh practice. Repeat it several times every day. Ash pole is very delicate, if you move in a daily size movement, immediately
ash pole will collapse down. You have to carry the ash pole as quiet as
possible, as slow as possible. In the tiny space among ash particles many other tiny dimensions are folded,. That is the sub signal from subbody. Catch the subtle sub signal of
subbody. Nests of
butoh We do not know what kind of monster or hobgoblin are going to come
out. Just you can concentrate to listen to the subtle signals. You will notice that there are full of sub signals in the awaying of
your ash body. They try to move for coming out desperately, but it does not work. All
of the bud or seed of other dimensions are try to open and come out, but all of
their trials have failed to open and lost. Unkown creatures of other dimension, spirits, demons, night mehrs, and
so on, are want to come out from tiny buds between particles of ash. To carry the ash body which is full of buds or eggs of other
dimensions is the walk of enests of butohf Hijikata showed this walk as his last butoh performance in 1973. It had almost no movement, no evolution, just some part of his body
seemed to shift into another dimension and come back with subtle swaying. He invented a special technique to control the body in very delicate
and fragile way. It was his last and deepest butoh performance. Never develop to daily size movement. Let the subtle signals allow to
lose like stillborn babies. Practice this ash walk and the nests of butoh walk several times in
each day. This is the very entrance into butoh world. |
