26 April, 2007 Open potential creativity of subconscious Few peple know that the creativity is not by consciousness but it folded in subconscious. But when we get the method of opening creativity of subconscious, we found it is an infinite fountain of creativity. Today we practice how to open it in visual channel. Extrovert channel and introvert channel We have extrovert channel and introvert channel in each channel, body, movement, visual, audio, feeling, relationship, world image/self image, and thinking channel. Extrovert channel is interacting by physical things and energy. Introvert channel is resonating with inner qualia. Inner qualia is so subtle compairing to outer information which we are interacting through the extrovert channel. Maybe it is billion times smaller than information by extrovert channel. Then at first we have to settle down our consciusness, by various conditioning methods ;swaying meditation, bottom breathing, inner breathing and so on. After our consciousness die down, we can notice subtle signal of qualia from subconscious. Open the introvert visual channel Today we tryed to open introvert visual channel in following method. 1. die down our consciousness by swaying meditation and bottom breathing, and enter into subconscious mode. 2. Close eyes and watch subtle sways or stream of light in the darkness. They are so subtle qualia of light than the qualia of real light. Normaly our daily eyes do not notice of them. 3. If you catch subtle qualia of light, just folow them and amplify them. The qualia are always resonating, then immidiately some visual qualia streams will come up and they guide you into so rich world where various visual qualia are dancing. That's it. The point is to catch the first moment of so subtle signal of visual qualia. 4. After enjoying this process for 20 minites, draw them on a paper. Put everyhting waht you saw in the introviert visual travel. 5. Taste each drawing of your friends together, you can find so rich varieties of each subbody world. (You can see the drawings by students of subbody school. Crick here) Maybe you must surprise at the richness of the creativity which is folded in sbconsciousness. Just few people knows the way to release it. No school teachs it. No teacher knows the way of releasing. But when you notice the way of releasing creativity in subbody, you will facinated in it. The taste of life will change completely. Everybody has this creativity in each subconscius world. Please try it according to the method avove. You must find that you are so uique artist. The important point is to throw out the dualistic judgement what is good or bad. Then the process of entering subbody mode above is important. |
| 20 April, 2007 The sacred birth of a subbody Shinji (Japan) said that he just continued to study within the book's world before he came here. He has read almost of books related with the authors in the links page of this site. Here, he has started to read his body instead of reading books. After for two weeks investigation he found aome subtle signal from subbody. Especially, through the practice of entering dreambody, he found his own qualia swaying between him and the world. His proto dream was about a special tention in front of a asletic meeting in elementary school. He was pressed by a presure that he has to win the race. But when the race started, his body could not move well with strange feeling. Then he has lost the race. This was his proto dream. After this day he tried to feel deeper this qualia for two weeks. Then at the final day's subbody theater, he tried to step the ground with the muximum power. Suddenly the ground gave back strong reaction. He has fallen. At this moment something which bound him has broken. Some strange charactors came out from his body, with strong emotional streams. He strated crying, "Thanks a lot, subbody is great!" Everybody who watched his dance were moved from the bottom. We have encountored a sacred moment which a subbody was born. View shinji's video |
| 20 April, 2007 Investigation into hidden qualia When you find a rough sequence of your own subbody dance, next step is polishing of each moment of movement. Investigate into more subtle qualia in each moment of subbody movement with keeping one's own choreography. Find hidden qualia in hidden joints Try to find hidden qualia with opening hidden joints, hidden muscles. Hidden joint means, for example, the fourth joint of each finger, which is hidden in the hand, the joints between eight small bones of wrist, the joint between color bone and chest bone, the joint between sucrum and pelvis, the joint between each spine, and so on. To move these hidden joints, also we have so many hidden muscles which our daily body has forgotten. When you try to move these hidden joint, you can find hidden qualia which are connected with the another creature ages which our lives has expierienced in the long histry of life. It may be a kind of life memory. Our daily bodies forgot them, but they are folded in these hidden qualia in our darkness of body. Sway between the living world and the dead world. When you find these hidden qualia in specific part of body, sway them with the most subtle size between this living world and another world. You may meet another creature's qualia of life. Your subbody may remember the hidden charactors of your whole self. Your life may recall the hidden qualia as a another creature, another being. Sway each part of body with the most sutle sway between life and the death. Become the collapsed body When you find the hidden qualia, sway each part of your body between this dimension and another dimension, you can transform into the weakend body or collapsed body. Each particle of your body is swaying in every dimension with different qualia through different channels. These weakened subbdoy will guide you into the deeper level in your darkness of whole self. |
| 19 April, 2007 Begger meditation When a traveler enteres India, he meets so many handicappers as beggers on the road. Their bodies are limited in different ways. At first our ego deny to recieve these impression. Our ego dissociates them. It's not me. and tries to forget them. But our life cannot forget them after for a while the qualia of handicappers are coming out with deep impressions. Why? We meditate with upstreaming life histry. We try to become the origin life which is born on this planet four billions years ago. The first life could not move at all. Just it tried to live. Some day our life invented how to move. But it was also very limited movement like as amoeba or flgellate. Always they were moved by gravity, wave, wind and so on. This condition continue many billions years. Then we can aware the reason why the qualia of anable to move, or the qualia of limited to move are so deep taste for life. These qualia were thefirst expieriences for life for many billions years. That is the reason why we are moved by handicapped movement, limited movement so ddeply. Then though our ego try to egnore them, our life cannot forget them. Qualia of unable to move After begger meditation and upstream life meditation, we try to reseach the deepest qualia in our body. Hundreds tandens block and release With eight shape movement at every part of body, we try to block a specific part of body with keep bending and listen to the body. In each part of body, so many qualia are folded in long histry of life. We just recall the life memory, and find the most deep taste qualia for each subbody. Find the bottom qualia for your subbody Ask to your life what qualia is the deepest for you? Become the origine life, and try to feel the qualia of unable to move. Become the lower creature which is limited to move, and try to taste the qualia of limited to move. Depnd on subbody's condition, somebody enter into origine creature. The others become their own creature, and try to move with limited body. Through these practice, we try to find the bottom qualia for each subbody and bottom shape, and try to find subbody movement. It has so deep impressions for us. |
| 14 April, 2007 Transfomation ---Miracle of introvert qualia channel We have eight channels as a main channel as the following; Body feeling, Movement, Visual, Audio, Feeling, Human relationship, World image= self image, and Thinking channels. Each channel has both of extrovert channel and introvert channel. Extrovert channels response to physical thing and power in the world. Introvert channels resonate with inner qualia which the life feel. Qualia is so subtle, conparing the extrovert information. We recieve subtle signal of specific qualia in introvert channel. Introvert signal is thousans times subtler than extrovert signal. Extrovert signal is thousands times stronger than introvert channels signal. We can traslate the extrovert signal into the information. The machine can treat information, but it can niether feel nor use qualia. Only life can resonate with qualia. Only life can feel qualia and use qualia in the universe. When our extrovert channels open, intorovert signals are masked by extrovert strong signals. Then we need to rest our daily body and mind enough by swaying meditation, bottom breathing and rhizomeing technique, for opening introvert channels. a. Swaying meditation b. Three dimentional conditioning at hundred tandens of body c. Bottom breathing from the first stage to the third stage d. Listen to the subtle signal of each channel at the bottom part of the body with using bottom breathing. 1. Transformation method in body channel Start from bottom breathing. Contract the bottom of body with exhaling. Catch a subtle signal of some qualia of body feeling, for example, heavy, light, warm, cold, stiff, smooth, painful, ease, and so on. At first you can just think about a kind of qualia, then your can feel the qualia at a point of body, body has already started changing. The qualia are always resonating each other then when you think about a kind of qualia at a part of body, the qualia are activated with instant resonance, and you can catch it. With releasing the bottom, iamgine the qualia are going up through the body from botoom. Spread out the qualia from bottom to the whole body gradually. You can recognize the change from introvert qualia to extrovert real body feeling. When the body become full of a specific qualia, taste it, and it is passing through your body with exhaling. This is the miracle what we can tranformation into any kind of being. When you want to transform another body or being, you need to master this transformation process which you call up a qualia in the introvert body channel and fulfil it in your whole body in the extrovert body channel. This is the essense of rhizomeing technique. Taste this process deeply, when you got this method, you can become an excellent qualia user. It become able to use any kind of qualia, and transform to any kind of being. |
10 April, 2007 Zenta has throwed away her dance body Zenta from Switzer land, created her subbody dance. It's seemed just a creature is swaying between life and the death with tasting subtle qualia in multiple dimensions. It was so impressive, then I tryed to start next April cource from this moment for sharing this subtle sway with new students . I admired that she throwed out her dance body which is trained for a long time in her life without hesitation. She said that she continued dance but she could not feel that this dance is true me. Then she found the exact way of creating dance from deapth of being in the subbody butoh school. I hope her to continue to sink into the darkness of bodyand deepen it more. See you again.

| 9 April, 2007 Transfomation into single cell We started April course from single cell maditation. 1. Swaying meditation Rotate your pelvis. Find the most confortable speed and size. 2. Inner breathing Send fresh air to all cells. Listen to the subtle change of cells feeling. 3. Remember the fetus dream When we are a fetus in mothers womb, we did not know that we are a human. We are just floating in the amniotic fluid for ten months. Our consciousness forget this age at all. But our subconsciousness remember this age's body feeling. When we got the most confoutable sway in the swaying meditation, everybody feel spacial confort. This swaying confort is an imprint from swaying in fetus age. We might have various dreams as a creature except of human. 4. Remember the single cell age Our indivisual life started when our mother's egg cell met father's spelma. We were just a small single cell. 5. Upstream to the origine life Go upstream more. Imagine our life repeated the single cell form and multi cell form for long years. Imagine that we were the origine cell which were born on this planet at the first time at four billions years ago. 6. Qualia by the resonance between origine life and the universe Imagine what qualia did the original life feel about the emvironment. Even single cell could feel the qualia of gravity, sun shine, air, wind, wave, and taste of molecule of food. 7. Move as a single cell creature Find the most primitive movement as a single cell creature. Ask to your life "what do you want to do?" 8. Find today's subbody movement As a single cell creature, find a most primitive movement. Short movement is OK. Just a simple movement for a minite. We shared each subbody movement together in the subbody theater at the end of class. |
| 7 April, 2007 The sacred birth of subbodies On the last day of March course, four subbodies were born. When subbodies appeared in front of the day light at the first time. It seemed like as a fetus. A subbody was born with full of tears. Another subbody was just swaying between the life and the death. All subbodies had an unfamiliar face and movement which each student did not know by oneself before. Everybody could transform to another being in the different dimensions. Each subbody has started a new life as a new being. We will open another world which is full of the resonance between a life and another life. The moment of the birth of subbodies was so impressive. We could share the sacred moments with full of resonance. |
| 6 April, 2007 Becoming an expert of Qualia In the mornig of the last day of March course, I integrated all practises into a short sequense for every day's practice. Today's method is integrated by all practice from the biggining of the course to the end, Various kinds of bottom breathing, inner breathing, If you got this method, you can trasform into subbody mode by yourself. Conditioning: Release from daily body and trasform to subbody mode Calm down your daily body and mind by swaying meditation. Sit calmly with leg free position, and rotate pelvis with finding the most confortable size and speed. If you feel some block, tension, or stiff arround some part, rotate with big circle and release it. If some part of your body said 'I need more fresh oxigion, give fresh air to the part, by inner breathing method: Conditioning: Inner breathing What is the inner breathing? It means that each cell of our body gets new oxigion and discharges waste molecules by blood stream in capillaries. Our human body has arround 600 trillions of cells. Each cells has one's own life and death. Our life is symbiosis of of 600 trillions of life of cells. 1. Approach both palms in front of your chest with keeping the distance between touching and not touching. Listen to the life resonance between all cells of both palms. It is so subtle body feeling, but when your daily consciousness calm down enough you can catch it. If you got subtle qualia of life resonance, start turning in your right thumb and twist to the muximum with sliding your left palm to the back of hand, fore arm, and neck with keeping the qualia of life resonance. Facilitate the inner breathing of each cells to get new oxigion. Say hello to the all cells of each part of your body, 'Are you fine today? Do you get enough flesh oxigion?' 2. Approach your left palm on the back of your right hand. Turn out from your right thumb and open each joint of hand, arm, and neck with turning out to the muximum. Listen to hte comfortable feeling when each part of cells get new oxigion. 3. Approach right palm to right sole. Listen to the life resonance between palm and sole. Turn in the first toe, twist foot, leg, pelvis, body, neck, and head to the muximum with sending flesh oxigion to the cells in each part of body. 4. Approach right palm to the back of foot. Turn out the first toe, foot, leg, open pelvis, rib cage, and neck in the same process. 5. Also open the other part with confortable twist and facilitate the inner breathing. Researching 1: Rhizoming in einght channels Start from bottom breathing. Contrant the bottom of body with breathing out. Catch a subtle signal of some qualia of each channel. You can just think about some qualia, then your body start subtle change. The qualia are always resonating each other with the subtle qualia sways. When your brain think about some qualia, theyt start activating in your body immidiately. Qualia are activated with instant resonance. Release the bottom at the muximum of breathing out, the air will enter into the body naturally. Spread out the qualia from bottom to the whole body gradually with breathing in. When the body become full of a specific qualia, taste that it is passing through your body with breathing out. 1 Rhizomeing in body feeling channel Catch a subtle specific qualia of body feeling; warm, heavy, stiff, and so on, at the bottom of body when you contract the bottom. Spread this subtle body feeling from bottom to upper part of body gradualy with bottom breathing, until this qualia filfill your whole body. Taste the process that this qualia are passing through your body with breathing out, and come back to neutral body. 2. Rhizoming in movement channel When you contract the bottom, a subtle movement starts from your bottom, swaying, shaking, waving, shocking, collapsing, freezing, dying, and so on. Then this qualia of movement expand to whole body. And also passing through your body with breathing out. 3. Rhizoming in visual channel Imagine a specific visual image at the bottom, for example; a silk shawl swaying, a collored stream, a imaginary creature are going upthrough your body, with breathing in. And passin thorugh your body with breathing out. 4. Rhizomeing in audio channel Catch a subtle audio qualia at the bottom, a rhythm, melody, and so on, and it goes up through your body with breathig in. Progress it to a body sound movement, untill this audio qualia fulfill your whole body. And passing through your body with breathing out. 5. Rhizomeing in feeling channel Catch a subtle change of body condition at the bottom, and it spread up to the body with changing to a emotional qualia, at the chest it changes to a feeling, at the face it develope to a face movement, until the whole body's emotional movement. And it is passing through the body. 6. Rhizomeing in human relationship channel Imagine a relational image with some parson or creature at the bottom; mother ,father, freind teacher and so on, then amplify it to the next part of the body. Slowly you are influenced by this qualia of relatonship until whole body. And it's passing through the body. 7. Rhizoming in world image and self image channel Imagine a world image and self image in the world image, at thebottom, for example, the womb is the world, fetus in the womb is sef image, mother and baby, class room and pulil, society and citizen , another planet and you, and so on. Then amplify it to the whole body. And it's passing through the body. 8. About thinking(Awareness) channel, this channel will be open at the last moment of this process. Then no need to do in thinking channel. Reserching 2: Rhizoming at eight channel with block and release. In the same process with above, an accident happens at some moment, which a specific qualia increase and possess a part of the body. The accident means a contract, tension, blocking, and so on. A part of the body is possessed by a specific qualia. Taste the feeling of possession and it is released with breathing out. Also taste this releasing qualia. Try this block and release practice in eight channels. If your body feels that this qualia seems it has unknown deep connection with your depth of being, follow the qualia and amplify it to the whole body movement. It may be your subbody movement. Reseaching 2: Changing position rhizoming At first try at the sitting position above resercing process. Then try at the lay down pisition, middle position, standing position, in the different postures. Also starting point are changing not only from bottom, any part of your body can start rhizoming. Try in different rhizoming, 1. Bottom rhizoming 2. Top rhizoming; strat from head 3. Edge rhizoming; start from the tip of finger or toe. 4. Center rhizoming; start from the pelvis or arround the chest bone 5. Charm rhizoming; start from middle part of body; elbow, wrist, knee, heel, weist, shoulder, and so on 6. Random rhizoming; rhizoming with changing places of the body at random. Reseaching 3: Delay differentiation rhizoming Change the posture very slowly, very very slowly from standing position to lay down, or middle position and the reverse. Cut the process into thousands moments( differentiation) and taste the subtle qualia in each moment and open each different channel. In each moment, the part and the channel is changing at random. For example, at first a part of face start opening a heavy qualia (in the body channel), at the next moment knee start swaying rhizoming (in the movement channel), next a emotion comes up from the sole( emotion channel), and next hip connects to another creature (relationship channel), leg begin a transformation to the fetus(world-self channel), stomuch begins a strange rhythm ( audio channel), eye watches inside darkness( visual channel), and so on. Differentiate as small pieces as possible, and taste the qualia in each channel at every moment. If you got this reserching method, you will find that the process itself of reserching will turn to a subbody dance at the same time. Try this reserching in different level of body. 1. Roll on the floor very slwly, and try to do delay differentiation rhizoming. taste the qualia in each moment with opening each channel. 2. Change the posture from siting position or middle position to another shape of body with minimum speed. try to do delay differentiation rhizoming. 3. Change posture from standing position to another posture. Cut the process into thousands moment and try to do delay differntiation. 4. Self research for one hour Try to do the self search for one hour, find asome special qualia which seems to connect to your uniqueness. If you find some special qualia for you, connect some movement, with opening another dimension, with finding the best Jo-Ha-Kyu timing. The movement will become your subbody movement of today. When you create a choreograph of subbody movement, repeat it in the different situations. Subbody will grow up to the most important sword friend for you in life. It will give you very important suggestion and awareness at some moments of life. Because subbody dance is a important part of your whole self. It has proto vitality and the wisdom of life. |
| 3 April, 2007 Blind walk in the forest Afternoon, we tryed blind walk in the forest of Himalaya. There are so many big rocks which fallen down from Himalaya mountain's long time ago, and old trees, streams, grasses, and so on. With opening every channel students walk in the darkness. Gravity, sun shine, wind, rever sound, bird, cow, goat, grasses with prickle, air, smell. From the darkness sometimes strange illusions come up. Our subbody are always making storyes, and some archetypes are always try to possess our visions. Outside subbody theater After blind walk, each student tryed to find one's favourite space, and created today's subbody dance. Maria found a stage on the stone which palced which seems to be at the top of cliff after the long search. . Some students could not see her dance because she was afraid too much. Shinji found a huge rock as a partner of his subbody. He continue to listen deeper to his own qualia of pressure from outside. He found the most proper situation wnich he can explore his own body feeling. When you found a deep qualia of your own, to repeat dancing it in many situations is important. Through these experiences someday you can recognize what is this for me. Ikuko started at stream side, try to feel some qualia of thirsty, lost way, meet many accidents like her nightmare. This is travel in one's own darkness of body. All qualia are rsonating in our darkness of body, between the expieriences of blind walk and dreams, visions, spontaneous movements, and strange body feelings. Zenta found intersting stage on the rocks in the stream. She rolled down on a rock to another rock. It was long travel to research a novel qualia. Through these experiences student's subbody dances approach to thier own whole self world, through opening whole channels of the life. |

| 1 April, 2007 Become the world image of your subbody Now we are going to enter the fourth week in March course. In three weeks, each student find their own subbody dance, through sinking into the darkness of each body. It has become so unique movement. You can see them by pictures and videos ( now on going to upload). On Saturday, and Sunday of this week, I tryed to maditate to enter into each subbody of student, and listen to them what channel does one's subody want to open next. Then I prepared to give some advices to each student for next week. They integrated many kinds of body feeling in many channels, nightmare, meditaton, multi-dimensional movement practice, opening eight channels practice, and so on. I noticed a common tendency through this meditation. It is about world image channel and self image channel. A student made subody dance through the body feeling of nightmares. Another student made it through a body tension feeling from a dream of coming the athletic meeting in his elementary school. Then I got an advice to them to try to enter the other sie of dreamland. For example, if you feel fear from the nightmare which you are attacked by some demons or something, next time you try to become the demon or something which is going to atack you or press you. Then you can travel into the both side of your self image stream and world image stream in your whole self. If you feel that your self image is a performer on the stage toward the audience in the theater, next you try to become the audience in the theater or your world image itself. Through this trial we can travel the both side of your world image and self image. In our daily mind, the world and the self are separated, but in our subconscious realm they are not separated. Our all introvert qualia are coming up from the same realm in the subconscious realm. In this realm there is no separation between inside and outside, between me and you, between mind and body, between indivisual and group. So, our subbody world is the non dual world. It is streaming and changing shapes in the multi- dimensional world and channels, and at the same time it is oneness. 'Multi-Dimensional Oneness' ――This is the one of the most important peculiarity of subbody and subconscious world. There is tha most useful practice to experience this peculiarity. It is the string meditation the following;. Then I plan to do this meditaion on coming Monday. The string meditation According to the String Theory of physics, there are eleven dimensions including the three dimentions of the space and one time dimension which we know well. The other seven dimansions are curled up into the minimum size in each point of the three dimansional space. The Strings are vibrating in the Planck length which is the minimum size of the Universe. The Planck length is the muinus 33th power of 1 meter. ( = 0.000000000000000000000000000000001m) The size of the Quark is the minus 14th power of 1 meter. Comparing with the size of Quark which is considered the basic element of proton in standard theory of physics, we can guess the size of the String. Strings are vibrating and resonating each other in eleven dimensions. Now we can imagine how the Strings are resonating through the animation which is drawn by Mr. Jeff or illustratons by Mr. Collona( above) These pictures are drawn by using Calabi-Yau mathimatics which was found by mathimatician Dr.Calabi and Dr.Yau, USA. This space is called 'Calabi-Yau space. Today we will try the String meditation to imagine the movement of the Strings in Calabi Yau Space. Strings are vibrating and resonating each other, and all kinds of the Mass and the Energy in the Universe are genarated according to the change of resonance patterns of the Strings. 1. Imagine the Strings are vibrating and resonating in the eleven dimansions in our body and mind. If we imagine that the basic elements are the particles, it is hard to imagene that they are resonating, but when we recognize that the basic elements are the vibrating Strings it is easy to imagine that everything is resonating each other. 2. Continue to imagine that our Lives and the every Qualia which our lives are feeling about everything. We can recognize that our self iamges and world images are also resonating. There are neither the Subject nor the Object in the resonance. Imagine that our Lives and Qualia are also 'the Multi-dimensional oneness' as same as the Strings. 3. Listen to the multi-dimansional resonance with the light of sunshine, the gravity, the air, the sounds, the others, the creatures, and so on. 4. Move your each part of body in multi-dimension with feeling the resonance in each dimensions. We can mention that our eight channels have their own dimensions, then our some parts of body are moving with opening a channel into each dimension at the same time. Our daily bodis and minds are limitied in the few dimansions by the daily habits. We open them into the multi-dimansional posibility of opening whole channels. Then our bodies transform into the subbodies to travel our whole self world. 5. After these meditation and movement practice, create your subbody dance in the multi-dimansional transformation. The ditails will be given in the next articles of 'Subbody school journal' in this week. For more Info. about the String Theory, go to the following link; Elegant Universe Super String Theory site by Brian green. Rhizome Lee learned that everything in the uinverse is conposed by changing of the resonance pattarn of super string from him. |

| 29 March, 2007 The archetypes in each channel Today we tryed blind walk in the field arround the school. Walk with blindfold and bear feet. A parter guide him/her and guard from dangers with giving subtle touch. Students walk and totch so many qualia from darkness. In the darkness, our proto sense open, and subconsious imagination start working. At this condition, many archetypes visit and infulluence to imagination. The archetypes are found by C.G.Jung. They are coming up from corrective unconscious, which is imprinted in human's genome, then we share them beyond the differences of cultures and nations. Therefore we can find similar patterns through mythes, folklores, religious symbols. Jung reseached mainly archetypes of self image channel, for example the Shadow which is hidden inferior charactor, the Divine child, the Great mother, the Wise Old MAn, the trickster, and the Anima/Animus which are archetype in human relation channel. But I fonud not only these channels, but also they appear in every channel. Almost nations have the archetype of heaven and Hell, they are the archetype of world image channel. In the body feeling channel, we have the common archetype of the Unable to move, the Separeted spirits from physical body. In movement channel, we share the Struggling movement archetype, the Flying dream archetype. In the visual channel, we share the Beaming light archetype, lost light archetype, the Mandala shape archetype, and so on. In the audio channel, we have the Wisper from another dimension, the voice from the God, advise from the Wise, the Wisper from Dead, and so on. In the emotonal channel, we have the Common typical feelings, Sadness, Joy, Anger, Ease, Hetred, and so on. In the human relatio ship channel, so many types of Anima/Animus, and the Hero, Heroine. Price on the white hourse, the Archetype of love story. ----Holly movies use them always and the Hero archetype. In the thinking channel, we have archetypes which is the common concept of 'Human', and 'Dualism' which divides everething into Inside/Outside, Me/You, Up/Down, Enemy/Friend, Right/Wrong, Beautiful/Ugry, and so on. Thse are the strongest archetype which most of people are bound by, in this contemporary age. They all are the heritage of human histry. Sometimes archetype encourage us, and sometimes they possess us, and limit our creativity into same patterns. On the way of subbody travel for releasing our potential creativity and originality of our subconscious, we have to face to these archetypes, and struggle arainst their power. Today, some students meet their own archetypes in the travel of darkness. We have to find each solution through confrontation against the archetypes. What unique creations will come up, it is the big pleasure to see the next process from now on. |
| 27 March, 2007 Entering into dreambody Today we try to enter the dreambody. Dreambody and subbody are brothers. They are coming up from same world. There is a only subtle difference. Subbody opens all channels. Dreambody opens several channels except of movement channel. We try to enter as a subbody into dreambody world. 1. Lay down with calm mind, and maditate with half sleep and half awake body/mind. 2. Remember the your proto dream which you have dreamt many times, or the mosy impressive nightmare in your life. 3. Write down the dream with remenbering the body feeling qualia in the proto dream. 4. Roll on the floor with releasing body. Not you roll, someone roll your body, then you follow it. 5. Roll together with two persons, and one body roll over onto another person's body each other. 6. All bodies roll together with contacting bodies as a human ocian. And last person roll over on the himan ocian. With carrying by human ocian, move freely like in the dream. 7. Become human mountain. Bottom person go up to the others and roll down from the top. Each person goes up and down at random. 8. Find a confortable position for a rest on the human mountain. 9. One person start talking about one's proto dream, and move as a dreambody. 10. The other people become the dream world, or follow the dreambody's movement. For example when dreambody swims in the stormy ocian, the other people become big wave or swimming dreambody. 11. When one person finish, next person starts to talk and move as one's dreambody. 12. When everybody finish, starts self reseach for 20 minutes. And remenber the other immpressive dream, and find a connection from one dream to another dream. 13. Show one's dreambody dance one and another. 14. Meditate about one's dream world and today's dreambody dance. Ask to your dream, "Where are you from? Who are you? And taste the qualia og the proto dream. 15. Next day you find connections between today's dreambody and another day's subbody movement. 16. Through these process, slowly you can taste your whole self world, with awaring the multiple connection in the dream world and subbody world. |
| 26 March, 2007 Upstream life meditation We started today's class from life upstream meditation. Now we have a life as a indivisual human. But it is bound by so complicated daily common illusion, then it is so hardly to feel the life. We need to remenber that we are just simple lives. 1. Rotate your pelvis with finding the most comfortable rhythm and size. Find the most comfortable sway, and listen to it. ----Always we start from this swaying meditation and enter into subconscious mode with calming down our daily mind/body. 2. Imagine that you are the first origine life which was born on this planet at the first time four billions years ago. 3. Think about that our life continue from this first moment to presence without any cutting of sequence of life. So our life is four billions years old. Not only us all creature has the same histry of four billions years. We share the same length of life exactly. 4. Image what is the qualia of life for this origine creature. They could not move at all. They just try to continue living. Taste this the most fandamental tendency of life. Still our life has the same tendency that continues to live. 5. Also taste the proto qualia of life. They could not move at the first period for a long time.. After for a while some creature invented how to move by cilia, flagellum, or a movement like a ameaba. But it ability was so small, they could move very little. Almost always they are moved by outside power, gravity, wave, wind and so on. These qualai of hardly to move, and qualia to be moved are so deep for life, because our lives continue single cell age for three billions years. 6. Another proto qualia of life is to envent new way to live. For first life could not breath. They got oxigion from eating iron oxide, or sulfer dioxide. Oneday proteo bacteria envented breathing, then they could get flesh oxygen from air directly. Someday proteo bacteria were eaten by another big bacteria. But proteo bacteria keep living in another bacteria, because they were well to breathe. Then they atrat living together. Proteo bacteria changed to mitochondria. This is the one of the big envention in our life histry. 7. Another big invention was the photosynthesis by siano bacteria. They started to get energy from sun shine and product thier body by getting carbon from carbon dioxide. Also siano bacteria find a way to live together in another cell. They became chlorophyl. They developed to many species of plants. 8. The third biggest invention was the simbiosis between single cell and another single cell. It happened one billion years before, then our life spreaded into many kinds of shapes, ways of living. Become your original creature 9. Each creature found one's own world; froating in the water, attaching on the rock, sinking into underground, and so on. Each way of life has a set of one's own world image and self image. Taste these various world images and self images of each creature. 10. Find the most familiar image and most strange image for your life. Taste them deeply, and become them with tasting it's world image and selfimage. Follow and amplify it until your own original creature. 11. Become your original creature with foinding your own movement; how to move, how to eat, how to carry, and so on. |
| 23 March, 2007 Many sub-charactors are coming out Today, we tryed to open emotional channel. 1. Tree dimentional sway 2. Bottom breathing 3. Release throat for opening audio channel 4. Hundred tanden block and release 5. Float eyes in diagnal dimensions 6. Listen up to sub signal from folded qualia in each part of body Through these practice, slowly students chatch subtle signals from folded sub-charactors and sub-creatures. So many sub-charactors are folded in our darkness of body. Jung called them 'shadow'. We need to be carefull to release them. Then we have to use 'Delay differencial' technique which cut these process into minimum poeces and follow them with tasting the difference between each qualia slowly and carefully. After these practice all students found many sub-charactors and sub-creatures in thier subbody waold. A student said when I moved my eyes diagnal directions, I meet many sub-chractors, I realized them crealy. Another student said I found a block to stop somithing coming out. Another student said I found my face and emotion can start dancing, it is so flesh experience for me, because in western dance we just move body without face movement. Trough these process, today's subbody theater become so rich and intersting. Maybe next week we can enter deeper travel in our darkness of body which our folded desires and so-called corective unconsciouness are hiden. |
| 22 March, 2007 How to control thinking channel Today we learned how to enter into new space. In swaying meditation and ash walk, we found so many subtle tendencies in our darkness of body. When we follow and amplify these tendencies, we need to know how to gurad our physical body against shock of gravity. In following to a tendency sometime it wnat to go down to floor suddenly. In this case, Flying technique by David Zambrano it is useful for safe landing. Also the floor technique by contact improvisation to enter floor through four inches safety zone. Through practice of these safe landing technique, students reseach today's subbody movement, they has become full of varieties. After class one student ask a question, "When I concentrate to listning to body qualia, sometime I notice my brain start thinking. How can I controll thiking channel?" I answered " It's natural always our thinking starts unconsciously. I always say to it, "I know you well, you are important menber in my whole self, but not now later I will need you." And one way is useful to control thinking channel, it is to give hard work to thinking channel. Tomorow we will practice about 'Sen-Shin-Kyo' method. It is one of usefull way in self reseach. 'Sen' means novel. When our subbodies meet a strange, interesting body feeling, they want to try to pursuit it. This is the first mark that you find a subbody. 'Shin' means deep. Sometime we feel that I don't know why, but this feeling seems to have a deep unkown connection to my depth. This is the second mark to meet deeper subbody. When you find it, keep it and follow, it will guide you to deeper level of your subbody. 'Kyo' means echo. When you subbody meets a very intersting qualia, it feel big confortable resonance by full of joy bu whole body. We can folow it. It will guide us to the entrance to whole self subbody dance. Tommorow we will leran about this 'Sen-Shin-Kyo' method. In these days, always a question from student teach me what practice shuold I give them tommorow. It tell me clearly waht do thier subbodies need next stage. |
| 21 March, 2007 How to control emotion Yesterday, a student asked me" How is it possible to stop emotion? Because so many emotions are coming up, I can't control them." I answered that we could not stop emotion, when emotion stop, life also stop. Emotion is the most strong medium between our life and cosciousness. But we have some method to control emotion. Then today we practice the second stage of rhizoming technique. 1. Three dimensional sway at hundred tandens Hundred tandens of the body sway by cross eight shape in three dimension. Hundreds tandens mean from bottom tanden (center of pelvis) to each spine, each joint of body. Our daily bodies are traind in limited direction movement. We brake this habit through this practice, then each part of body open possibility to open thier freedom of multi dimensional movement. 2. Three dimensional release and block With practicing hundreds tanden sway, at some moment we freeze at short moment and release to come back to sway. Listen to the qualia of blocking and releasing. 3. Delay differnciation Cut a sequence of movement into the smallest thousands of pieces and move very slowly with tasting qualia of each piece. Show the subtle change of body feeling in each piece. 4. Rhzoming in eight channels Practice it in eight channes; body channel, movement channel, visual channel, audio channel, feeling channel, relation ship channel, world= self image channel. 5. Self reseach by ash walking With ash walking, try to move every part of body in radam dimension by using delay differentiation technique. Find the most intersting process of rhizoming, develope it to subbody movement of today. When we got this technique, you can show the process that a kind of emotion come up from some part of body from the minimum sub signal to the biggrst size, with showing the subtle change in each moment of process transparently. This is one of the most effective possibility to controll emotional process. If your body trained enough in this technique, an emotion find a bypass to express the energy in very slow way with transparent controll. But it is not perfect, we need to see transparently the emotional process, and we need to calm down enough after practice to open emotion. Slowly, slowly we can be a friend with emotions. |
| 19 March, 2007 Awareness of the life resonance Our lives are always resonating with everything arround the lives. When our subtle senses has opened, we can notice that the qualia arise through resonance between life and everuthing arround it. There are niether subject nor object. That is just illusion which our daily minds are bound. Today we try to meditate to become the first original creature which appeared on this planet four billions years before. At that time we were just single cell creature like bacteria. But this creature could feel many qualia beteen the life and surroundings. They could recognize the qualia of gravity, sun shine, air, wind, wave, some chemicals which are beneficial or harmful. These all qualia do not happen between ths subject and the object. The qualia arise just by resonance between life and something. Today we just concetrate to feel the qualia coming up through life resonance. And this resonance is always swaying with subtle vibrations. A student said that this morning she was not fine, but when she awared of this life resonance, she recovered the vitality and become better. " I could recover strong connection with my life." |
| 16 March, 2007 Opening another dimension When we enter into subbody world, we notice that so many kinds of qualia are streaming and changing in multi dimensions. When we catch a subsignal of qualia of subbody, we follow it and amplify it until visible movenet. This process is 'Jo' of 'Jo-Ha-Kyu twchnique. I planed that at the first week I concentrate to get this Jo process , but almost student has get this Jo process already, then today I try to open next process. When we amplify a qualia untill muximum, we notice that another subsignal is coming up from another dimension. Then we change to amplify this another qualia in another dimension. This is 'Ha' of 'Jo-Ha-Kyu'. In daily world dance, change in composition means size change, speed change, direction change, quality change, and so on. These changes are just changes in three or four dimensions. But in subbody worls, change means always opening another dimension. This is the charactoristic of subbody dance. If students get this technique, thier subbody dances become so intersting and surprising. And the surprising point is that Everyone's subbody has this beauty sense which finds the most intersting change moment. So everyone's subbody has his/har own beauty sense what qualia is the most intersting for next moment. If students get both of rhizomeing technique and Opeining another dimension, they get so strong choreografy ability. Now they are going to get them. I was so surprised by this. Next week we can go further. |
| 15 March, 2007 Rhizoming technique Rhizoming technique is one of the most inportant technique in subbody method. In our subconscious world, so many different tendencies are flouting, if we show them at the same time, it seems just like a chaos, the other can not understand at all. Then we catch only one subtle tendency of qualia at a point of body, then slowly amplify it to a movement. This is the rhizoming technique, it is nessecery for communication. For more details about rhizoming technique: read here. |
| 13 March,2007 Resonance touch Today is the second day of this year. We learn the resonance touch method. Resonance touch is the method to experience the subtle resonance between life and life. When we calm down our daily body's gross sense, we can listen to life resonance. We need this technique for cure ourself when we travel our subbody world, because so many unexpected things happen in this travel. When any strange experiences happen, if we can conntact with life resonance, our lives are encouraged, and we can open folded proto vitality in our subconscious world. In this proto vitality, self cure ability, creativity, and resonance abilty are folded. So, resonance method is to unfold these potential ability of life, as same as shiatsu technique. I develope the principle of life resonance which I learned from Endo Ryoukyu who is founder of Tao shiatsu, and Masunaga Shizuto who originated Zen shiatsu. For more information about resonance touch method: read here. |
| 12 March, 2007 Spring course has started! I started this year's subbody class to stop daily body and contact to our life. What is the life? Where is the life? I don't know. But anyway we can try to contact our life. It has so subtle signal, our daily body always ignore the subtle signal from life. When we stop daily body's gross movement and noises, we can contact the subtle signal from our life. 1. Say hello to your life Rotate your pelvis, and find the most confortable rhythm and size. Through swaying meditation our daily body and daily mind calm down slowly. When our daily body/mind stop the gross movement, we can listen to our life. When you find your life, say hello to your life. How are you my life? Are you fine? 2. Ask a question to your life When you contact your life, ask to a question to your life, "What do you want to do most?" This is one of the most important question in life. But our daily bodies always lose connection with the life. It will take time to contact your life. Just continue to ask to your life every morning for one month. In one month, you will get some answers from your life. 2. Listen to the life resonance between each living cell Approch your both hands in one cm distance. Listent to some subtle signal between hand and hand. It is the life resonance between living cells and cells. Try to approach your hand to another part of your body, and taste subtle difference. Each part has different taste. And next approach to your friend' body. We can listen the life resonance between living body and body. Maybe you can notice that your cells are enjoying. Taste the joy of the resonance in your body. 3. Ash walk Become nothing. Become ash body which your physical body has burn out, just stand as an ash pole, and carry it as quiet as possible. Open to the out side fifty percent, to inside fifty percent, then you can transform to transparrent body gradually. In the ash walk, listen to the subtle sway in your body. When you meet another body, just listen to what'happen in your body." 4. Self reseach After several variations of ash walk practice, we enter into self reseach time for twaenty munites. Through this self reseach, when you find an intersting and strange signal, then amplify it to short movement. Any movement is OK. It will become today's your subbody movement. Then we shared it each other. After the class A student said, " I have already practiced at home through reading the practice guide on the website. But today I realized how interesting the life resonance and ash walk. I didn't know how rich expieriences are them. I love resonance and ash walk. Another student said, " I wonder why can I move freely without my conscious intention. Maybe my subconsciousness moved me. It may be subbody expierience. I surprised." So we have started new class like this in the cold weather of Himalaya, but with heart warming practice. Also the Dalai lama continues his teaching in his temple as usual.. |
| February 2007 |
| 22 February 2007 The first letter to all students to enter the school I have come back from the travel of Myanmar, Thailand, and Japan. I found my body and mind has changed completely after travel. Big noises has sunk into my body/mind through the travel especially in Japan. Now ten days has passed after arrival at home in Himalaya, but my body/mind has not calmed down at all. It has become so hard to listen to the darakness of body because of big noises. What has happened in my body/mind? What are these noises? I visited Japan for ten days after two years absense. I recieved so many stimulus of informations and qualia through television and through walking arround the city They are so sweet and confortable, but too strong for me. I found that people have to recieved so strong stimulus through the highper informational system in advanced countries. In my feeling, these noises are millions times stronger than the subtle signal from the darkness of body. Then the noises disturb to listen to the subsignals by masking. I found that the students of this school bring these daily bodies which are poluted by strong noises from advanced counries. Then it takes time to stop daily body and transform to quiet body which is able to listen up to the sub signals from the subbody. (Subbody is the subconscious body/mind which is streaming in our darkness of body.) I recognized that I have to find the more proper way to stop the daily body and trandform to subbody. This is the good chance for reseaching the better way to transform to the quiet body. I can try to research with regarding my body as student's bodies. I have to solve the transforming process from daily body to subbody more transparently. Then the subbody method grow up to more universal method for everybody. This discovery that our daily body in advanced countries are so much polluted by the informations of highper informational system. At first We have to learn how to stop the daily body to transform to subbody which is able to listen to the subsignal from subbody. I will start by this practice in the comming spring cource of subbody school. I want to tell to everybody who is going to learn in this school, "Please prepare your body to calm down the influences from these informational noises, then you can start the study in this school. " Please try to meditate everyday at your home before entering the school,and try to stop the daily body and daily mind. Then it becomes able to listen up and catch the subtle signals from subconscious area in our darkness of body. You have to notice that there are another world from daily consciousness and gross body. This is the most important thing for learningsubbody method. |
