2 August, 2007 What is introvert thinking channel? Every channel has both of extrovert channel and introvert channel. Through extrovert channel we interact with physical matter and energy, and through introvert channel we resonate with inner qualia stream. The difference between intorvert thinking and extrovert thinking was difficult to explain for me for long time. But today when I recieved resonance touch by a student, in the dreaming state suddenly an awareness about what is the essence of difference between introvert thinking and extrovert thinking comes up. The extrovert thinking is bound by lower dimansional bind such as three dimensional space, one dimasional time, and dualism thinking habit. The introvert thinking is free from these binds, and is able to touch wiht qualia stream which are resonating in multiple dimansion directly. Our daily bodies mension that the consensus reality is only one reality. They are bound by lower dimansional bind which are four dimansional timespace and dualism thinking. When we think with using language, we have to be bound by unconscious dualistic bind. Because our language itself is bound by dualism, such as up/down, in/out, high/low, me/you, firend/enemy, mind.body, and so on. All of these are not real, just our consensus reality is bound by them, then all of us believe these illusion as real. In the universe nobody can not say which is up, which is right. it exists only in narrow world like our daily world . The extrovert thinking is bound by these lower dimansional boinds. The introvert thinking channel has completely dufferent principle from extrovert thinking. When you die down extrovert thinking, and release from the binds of dualistic language thinking, then you can contact with the another real world which is our lives are resonating with everything in multiple dimensions. It is non-dual and multiple dimensional subtle world. You can catch subtl sub siganls from the subtle world. Our lives are resonating with infinity qualia in eleven dimensions which the string theory sugests us. To open introvert thinking chaneel means to receive awareness from the subtle multi dimansional world. It is not to think by conscious brain, but stop extrovert thinking and just to listen to the another real world. When you stop extrovert thinking and open introvert thinking, you can control innner qualia stream and it becomes possible to use them freely. When you release from lower dimensional bind, you can contact directly with the life resonance with everything in subtle multiple dimensions. Then you can open the infinity possibilities of creativity of subconsciousness. People who enter in this subbody school can know this deep reality. It seems too big story, but it is true. Here is an extremely unique place on this planet. |
28 July, 2007 Becoming rhizome Rhizoming thechnique is a technique to become rhzome. It has some specific chracters. 1. Delaying differencial In one word, rhizomeing means a thechnique that a transformation atarts at a part of body, and it infects to neibour part to whole body/mind. In the darkness of body, non-dual and multiple dimensions are streaming and changing. If we watch it directly, we can not understand what is happening, because it is too much chaos. Then we have to show with letting the cahos simplify, with delaying and differnciation. We choose a subtle qualia as a sign of a changing, and follow it, amplify it to the muximum, with cutting the whole process into thousands of moments and delay the time, then we can show the process clearly what is happening. 2. Seven rhizome There are seven ways to show rhizoming. 1) Bottom rhizoming; a transformation starts from bottom. 2) Top rhizoming; stars from head. 3) Center rhizome; start from center of body. 4) Edge rhizoming; start from edge of finger or toe. 5) Charm rhzoming; In a middle process of bottom or center rhizomeing, another power influences to the movement, then the movement changes to another stream. 6) Strange rhizoming; In a process of top or edge rhizoming, another power disturbs the process, then the movement changes to strange way. 7) Randam rhizome; starts at random points of body. 3. Eight channels rhizoming When subbody is streaming in the darkness of body, it has multi channels qualia, it does not separated into any channels. But when it comes out with noticing by the consciusness, it has to come out through a channel, because or consciousness can recognize a signal through only one channel at the same time. Then our multi channels qualia have to change into a channel stream with shrinking. That's why a stream comes out through fifferent channels, for example, dream , syndorome of body, subbody movement and so on. We need to control these process between multi channels qualia streams to passing through single channel to another channel in the time process to show whole qualia. 4. Tree/rhizome change Subbody stream seems to change shape and qualia from a channel to another channel. But it is a illusion only for our consciousness, because the consciousness can recognize qualia through only a channel at the same time. Then we need to show our subbody movement with changing from a channel to another channel for informing the whole channels qualia to others. We have to be a transrators from multi dimensional rhizome to lower dimensional tree movement. To become a subbody means to become rhizome and transrator between rhizome world and tree world. 5. Opening another dimension Subbody method has a specific changing technique as a 'opening another dimension'. Like a dream change the scene from a scene to another scene without noticing by consciousness, our qualia stream are always changing and streaming in our darkness of body. A subtle signal of onther dimension which was folded in a dimension is unfolded, and comes out gradually until to open whole of another dimension. 6 Transparent mind and body When you get the whole techniques above, you can see the whole process transparently which is happening in the darkness of body between the body, subconsciousness and consciousness. It happens not in stillness body, but in moving body. When you dance your subbody butoh movement with changing from a dimension to another dimension dynamicly, you can see everything so transparently. It is the transparent mind. And when it is possible to show everythng to hte ausience with resonance riken. Resonance riken means to watch the whole process in performing from outside, including the resonance with audience. Everything is resonating between dancers and audience in a short moment. Then with using resonance riken, you can controll the Jo-Ha-Kyu timing with subtle control. When you get this resonance riken, you can becoem a transparent body which it is able to show everything transparently. I do not know how long time we will need, because also I an on the way to be a transparent body. |
| 25 July, 2007 Hypnosis state as a consciousness A student asked me, "How is it possible to stop thinking channel?" I answered "Reverse your concept that the consciousness is a state of hypnosis." It is a state that our daily minds are bound by lower dimensional bind which is dualism thinking, three dimansional space, one dimensional time. All of us believe that is real and normal. But all of them are not true. Nobody can decide what is right and what is wrong. There are no top and no bottom in the universe, but we are bound by this lower dimensional thinking. Dualism is convinient for daily judgement, but it is just simplifyed thinking. The real world is non-dual and multiple dimensional world, it is so complex to understand as real, then we use simplifyed dualism thinking. It is enemy, this is friend. But all of them is illusion. All of us are bound by this collective hypnosis. When we enter subbody world, we could experience that the real world is non-dual and multiple in qualia world. Consciousness have to become listener to the subconscious world. Then it can recieve so rich sugestion from subconscious. A student said, I have asked to my subbody last night, " What is the next for me?" This morning my subbody answered me "To listen". I heard that from him, and I realized that the answer from his subbody is the most important sugestion. So it starts from listening in the subbody world. |
| 23 Juy. 2007 Two to three rhizome improvisation Subbody-cobody theater on the first week of July course. In cobody part, we tryed two:to three rhizome improvisation. Dancers separate into two and three persons groups, but they can shift from a group to another group flexibly at any moment. A group share the same qualia, and both groups keep opposite qualia each other. Both group try to have strange relationship. Dancers can break the rule at any time. This is the 2 to three rhizome improvisation. Audio resonance by subbody voice and primitive sound instrument are added to dance performance. Life resonance is amplifyed and spread to all channels.

21 July, 2007 Investigation of change Changing is one of the most important thing for choreography of dance. In this month, to invent one's own timing of change is one of the main theme for second month students. In each day I give a theme of different kind of change. 1. Stillness/ Movement Change (SM Change) The first one is the stillness/movement change (S/M change). The original beauty of dance is genarated from the unique timing of change. Espacially, the change between stillness and movement is so important. Because the secret depth between death and life is folded in the change between stillness and movement. So, the secret of what is life and what is death is hidden between stillness and movement. There are so many vatiations in the timing of change between stillness and movement. ---Long stillness between a movement and another movement ---long long stillness which we lose mind ---short stillness ---momental stillness ---sudden stillness ---stillness like a guraduall transformation as if time becomes liqiud to solid ---starting a movement after a long stillness ---sudden start of movement ---unexpected movement ---nonintentional movement ---and so on. Every beauty is generated between stillness and movement. Invent your own timing of S/M Change. |
| Mille Plateaux student's creation＜New＞ |
| 15 July, 2007 Mille Plateaux have increased beyond 40 Become rhizome Become a secret Become a bee group, holes of mole and an infectious fever Become a flexible body which can connect with everything, and separete immediately Never repeat, create infinite variations Become a flying anus, high speed vagina, and a look of dead. When rhizome increase energy, They transform into each plateaux With connecting and separating flexibly They become a tide. They become a tide which has niether the biggining nor ending Invading both banks Increasing speed at the center of stream Mille Plateaux is a completely new vision of world changing by Deleuze/Guattari My dear Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari Can you see the first appearance of Mille Plateaux which you dreamed at 1980？ Though it took time for 30 years. But it has begun. World starts changing from here. The ripple of life resonance will reach to your place View Students creations on Mille Plateaux |
| 12 July, 2007 The first experiment Video clips of subbody-cobody theater at the last June course are uploaded. Just enjoy them. Each student has tryed to find the timing one's own subbody solo in ninety munites free improvisation. It is the first trial through my long experience. Subbody become cobody, cobody become subbody, so it becomes so flexible rhizome. We will continue this trial, and deepen it. Read more |
| ６ July, 2007 Subbody is rhizome June course is finished today. Students tryed a new experiment succsessfully. They tryed to find the timing to start each own subbody dance which they created, in 90 minutes cobody improvisation. It was the first time to success this trial in my whole expierience. Subbody is like a rhzome which can be separated at any point and connect each other at any place and moment. This is the most flexible practice for integrating improvisation and choreograph. For a long time I have reserched about the best relationship between choreograph and improvisation. Now I found it. Video clips above is at the third week of June course. The fourth week's videos are editing now. You can watch all 58 subbody butoh videos which are uploaded on YouTube site! You will be surprised at so rich world are hidden in our subconscious body. Now we open it day by day. This must be the first experiment in the world! They are going to increase in every month. Enjoy them! Click here |

| 4 Juuly, 2007 What is Kyu of Jo-Ha-Kyu? Jo-Ha-Kyu method was found by Noh dance master Zeami (1363- 1443). Jo is the bigining. Ha is breaking, changing. Kyu is the climax and ending. 1. Jo---hiding the sign There is also Jo-Ha-Kyu in each Jo, Ha, and Kyu. The essense of Jo of Jo is hiding the sign which is going to come out. You just feel the qualia without any moving. Qualia are the everything which life is feeling. Ha of Jo is to make it deeper secret by swaying body. You show swaying body between this world and another world. At every part of your body, different kind of qualia are going to come out and sway back. Then the moment of appearance of the first qualia is the Kyu f Jo. 2. Ha---Opening another dimension When you follow and amplify the first qualia until the muxmum, you will catch a sign from another dimension. Then you amplify the next qualia, you can open the different dimension from the first world which you created. This is the Ha. It breaks the first world. Invent your own timing in each Ha. This is the creation. 3. Kyu---several ways of Kyu 3-1 'Momiyose'-condense Kyu is the climax and ending. You should show everything with using rich variations of all kind of technique of movement. Then you can end after showing everything in a short condensed time. 3-2 Reach the world image= self image channel. From Jo to ha, you travel among single channel world,body feeling , movemenet, visual, audio, feeling, human relationship, to explore your whole self world. Then when finally you will find the world= self channel, this channel is the complex channel, it has whole qualia beyond all single channel. You can show whole qualia of your life sway at the world=self channel. 3-3 Transforming into another dimension of dead world. To transform dead is the alfa and omega of butoh. Die as a human body and it is possible to transform into another being of another dimension. You need to practice the technique of weakend body for a long time. Then you can watch this world as a dead. This living world is full of qualia, full of light, full of sound. But dead can not resonate with these qualia at all. You can give deep message to the audience that they can live as a creator with using these rich qualia. Audience always forget it. They feel boring of everyday's life. They lost the life. Your look as a dead can let them aware of the real life. 3-4 Ask to your life, "Can you repeat this dance ten thousands times?" If your life answer "Sure, I can repeat ten thousands times!", the movement must be your Kyu dance. This is the simplest question which you know is it Kyu or not. Dance it ten thousands times. It is your destiny. |
| June 2007 |
| 26 June, 2007 Meet hidden self So many hidden self are folded in our darkness of body. How is it possible to contact and let them express. We found a few tonnel to reach them. 1. Open hidden joint In our daily body, we have several hidden joint which we forget to use. Sacram joint, chest bone -color bone joint, the fourth joint in our hands and feet, joint between each spine, and so on. So many hidden characters and hidden creatures are folded in these hidden joints. Once you have used those joint but you have been ignored by parents or teachers, then these qualia were folded there as not-me. Try to open or close these joints, change position from daily position, then you may catch a subtle qualia of hidden self. When you meet some subtle qualia, just follow it, amplify it, until you meet hidden character. 2. Open edge eyes Move your eyes in diagnal direction quickly. You may feel some unkown characters, strange inventor, humorous charactor, and so on. Watch with using edge of eyes. Show your white eyes. Watch through upper edge of eues, or lower edge of eyes. You may meet cunning one, quick one, character who look down every thing from another world, and so on. Use floating eyes which is called 'nagashi-me'. Shift both eyes upper diredtion and floating eyes in the darkness. Become white eyes. Invent your dead eyes. Whatch this world as a dead body. You may meet onother self. Enter and become onother self. 3. Change breathing and face Try different rhythm from daily breathing. Try strange breathing as another creature. Twist your mouse, change to another face. Find different body sound from daily human voice. When you have found them, it will continue for lonf time. Enjoy subbody voice. Find another self, another creature. There are so many hidden selves in your darkness body. How many hidden self can you meet? Dance with them. It is subbody travel in whole self world. |
| 25 June, 2007 Passive body Qualia of to be moved is one of the deepest qualia for life, just like as qualia of unable to move. because our origin life which was born four billions years before could not move at all at the first period. Life was moved by another power; gravity, wave, wind earthquake, thunder, storm, and so on for a long time. Then in our life memory so many kind of qualia of to be moved and unable to move are folded. Our consciousness forget them but our life remenber them, they are recorded in our genom, then all of us can share them. Being moved at handred tandens Similar as handred tanden three dimesions practice, from sacram to head, at all handred tandens of body, try to be moved by another being toward the randam directions, with different timing, to diffrent directions, by different strength and speed. Forget that you are human. Throw away the concept that you are the subject. You become just passive body. Not you but another being moves your body. You become just medium which is possessed by another strength, by another spirits. This practice is a important process for becoming possessed body. Butoh is not the self expression at all. You do not dance by yourself, but someone moves your body. Another being who comes from unkown dimension possess your body and mind. This is the different point from western dance concept which is bound by the modern concept that dance is self expression by using body. They believe that I can possess my body and can controll it. It is the misunderstanding about the life and body. They don't know about subconsciousness at all. Also most of Butoh dancers are bound by the concept of self expression. Real butoh is the art for living in completely different multi dimensional world released from the narrow concept of modern human. |
23 June, 2007 Transparent duet I could not guide duet well for a long time. I just concentrate to sink into the darkness of body and find subbody solo dance, and cobody which is resonating subbody. I have tryed several times to guide student subbody meet another sobbody. Always I have to see that streotype patterns of love romance infects the duet and disturb it. But now the secret of duet is solved gradually. It is so simple. Just we need to die down our daily mind and body enough, that's all. Before it was not enough to die down daily mind and body, it was the reason. 1. Forget that you are human. 2. Just follow to the life resonance. Every thing is OK. 3. Remember the method of Similar-Similar, Similar- Different, Different-Similar, and Different-Diffrent. Every resonance is inclided in these patterns. Subbody itself has no sex. It is so trandparent. Then we can release from the archtype of love romance, streotype story between female and male. |
| 19 June, 2007 What is resonance? Resonance happens spontaneously. It is not caused by ego or subject niether intentionally nor consciously. When the consciousness die down, you can notice that life resonantes with everything naturally. When we become subbodu mode enough, we can rsonante each other in evry channel. We can resonate in body feeling channel, movement channel, visual channel, audio channel, amotional channel, relationship channel, world image=self image channel. There are some simple principles. I will discribe the resonance method in movement channel for example. A subbody starts movement, then another subbody find the timing to enter by following resonance method. 1. Similar-Similar The first principle is share qualia and follow by similar qualia in each channel. Just throw out your ego, then you can follow with another subbody's qualia, with same posture, same speed, same timing. You can shift from very close distance to middle distance and far distance. You can become cobody by sharing qualia. This is the basic principle of resonance. 2. Similar-Defferent <Positioning> Start from similar position, and shift to defferent position, for example standing- standing resonance to standing-rolling resonance. <Speed> Shift from resonance with same speed to different speed. <Distance> Start from resonance by close distance and shift to resonance by far distance. 3. Digfferent-Similar <Positioning> Similar-Different/ Opposite to above. Shift from defferent position to similar position. <Speed> Shift from resonance with different speed to same speed. <Distance> Start from far distance and shift to close distance. 4. Different-Different Resonance in completely different dimension. Just show the variation of different qualia from subbody's qualia. Resonance not by similality but by difference. Actually, our universe are full of difference and they are rsonanting in so rich ways. Resonate in multi dimansions each other. When you got this resonance way, the concept of handicapped will be disappeared. We can start co-creation of the new world which is full of life resonance. |
| 17 June, 2007 Audio stream in the darkness of body There are so rich and free audio streams in our darkness of body. Now we are going to open it. It is another music world from modern western music which is bound by the theory of 12 misical scale and so on. How is it possible to open it? 1. Release your throat from the tension and illusion of human voice. Always our throat is bound by the tension and illusion that it has to make voice as a human. With deep bottom breathing, breath out deeply with releasing the throat completely like as you success to escape from big crisis, "Hooooooh!" When our body notice that our throat can make sound except for habitual human way, so various kind of voices are coming out from our body. Just enjoy it. 2. Just follow to the spontaneous audio stream Listen to the natural resonance between the breathing and the body vibration. Just follow to the spontaneous sound streams which come out from your darkness of body. Follow, ride on and amplify them, you can just enjoy it. When you move your body, the body sounds also change, enjoy the variation of your life song. When you enjoy it with your friends, you will notice that the body sounds are resonating each together naturally. When I continue to listen to the world musics, for example Siberian sharman song, African Pigmee song, Soromon ilands song, and so on, I notice that so rich misic world which has different principle from the modern western misic. The principle is natural resonance between life and life. It should be called as the life song. Anyway it is a completely different music world from western modern music. Now we are going to open it. We can just follow to the natural life resonance without any theories. So amazing world is waiting for you. Subbody dance and life song are so simmilar. They are the same daughters from the same mother which is the darkness of subconscious body. |
13 June, 2007 Start with monsoon We have started the summer term at the same time with monsoon. It was hard hail and strong wind at the first day of this term.. Many ice balls jumped on the green grass like as pingpong ball. Students of this month are all reserved for several months ago and have read the site well. But it is not so easy to enter the subconscious realm. Students have to face many kinds of blockage. Our daily ego try to stop us when we are going to enter unknown world. "Wait! It seems dangerous!" "Don't do so stupid thing!" Many judgements, feeling of difficulty, unconfortable feeling, and so on. They are all a members of edges between consciousness and subconsciusness. I guided students when you face to these kind of edges, it is a signal that the calming down process is not enough. Try to take longer time for calming down before class by yourself. Students have already learned several method for conditioning; swaying maditation, shaking conditioning, bottom breathing, inner breathing, and so on. I asked students to find your own way for calming down, because our body/mind condition will change day by day. This is the first gateway for subbody world. After passing this gate, so rich creativity and deep resonativity are waiting for. |
| 10 June, 2007 Start from the most subtle qualia We start the summer course from litening up to the most subtle qualia which our life is resonating. For this aim, we have to learn about how is it possible to die down our daily consciousness. I have re-edited several practice methods for this aim. To find the most appropriate conditioning and meditation method to become the best subbody condition, according to each one's everyday's condition of mind and body . To become a indipendent subbody, who can find the best way to conditioning by oneself is the most important. In real subbody world, there are no hierarchy, no teachers, no students. Otherwise the subconscious is very easy to be suggested, we are controlled so easily. And this is the most hard obstacle to become subbody, because our daily consciousness is always suspicious against to be controlled by unknown powers from others. This is the central reason why I could not be hypnosis for a long years. And on the other hand, we can not release from the daily state which possess us for long time, and we can not be indipendent from daily body. I will be just midwife of subbody by listening to and facilitating these process. |
| 5 June, 2007 How to organize the way of life The main theme for students who will start from next June course is this. Through this subbody course, investigate how to condition the body and mind by oneself into the best condition of subbody mode. How to reorganize the way of life, daily routine of conditioning oneself into the best condition of subbody mode, including how to meet the othwers, nature, how to die down the daily ego----these are the main themes. For concentrating on this theme, students should focus on only this theme without trying to another thing. Because in the past course, some students tried another practices at the same time with joining the subbody course, for example learnig yoga, learning Tibetan flute, enjoying weekend party, and so on. To become subbody mode and to learn another thechnique is completely opposite thing, one need to die down consciousness, another need arise consciousness. They had to find the result that the both thing must not work at all at the same time. For dying down consciousness, the most important thing is not to meet another person who could not control ego. If we meet another ego, it must influence to your ego arising immediately. To keep quiet is the most important thing for enter subbody mode with dying down one's own ego. In June course, we will try this theme. Try to find your own way of conditioning yourself into the best subbody condition through reorginizing the daily routine. |
