| 10 March, 2008 About non-dual and multi dimensional When I renewaled 'Illustration guide of subbody world' after two years absent, I noticed that I used a term of 'Tao' at the biggining. I felt that this term is needed to explain a little bit more, because Now I as a dancer don't use this term normaly. This term is from Lao tzu (Laozi, Lao tze, Lao tseu,...). He wrote the followings in his book 'Tao Ye Ching'. This book was one of the favourite book from my young age. Lao tzu said the following about Tao; The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnameable is the eternally real. (Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.) (Tao Te Ching/ Ch. 1 as interpreted by Stephen Mitchell (1992) There are so many kinds of transration and interpretation. Almost of then are bound and biased by interpretator's modernistic concept. The modern consciousness are bound by language, which langage is able to discribe everyhting. But human language starts from deviding, it cannot explain undividable. When you stop your consciousness and language brain, then you sink into the darkness of body, you can find undividable world is there. But if your language brain is active, it must divide everything into a piece bu dualistic thinking and judgement. It has a strong tendency to divide everyhting dualistic. Good/bad, up/down. indside/outside, mind/body, self/others, right/wrong, and so on. For long time our consciousness are bound by the dualism. Our lanage is also bound by this strong tendency. Then we need to stop language thinking, if we want to touch the real in the darkness of body. The term of 'darkness of body' means large erea of so-called unconsciusness, subconsciousness, body, and life. I don't use the word of unconsciousness. Why? Because this term are biased with so many various interpretations after Froed had used this term as 'a surppressed erea of our mind by consciousness'. We need to release from all of these bias about the darkness of body. Our mind/body world has so many variations of cultures on this planet. Then I have to stop to use the term 'Unconsciousness'. The term of 'subconsciousness' is used by pyono therapist. It is not bound so much by the bias of Frued's concept. Then sometimes I use this term. But actually, the subconsciousness and body is not separated in the darkness of body world. The subconsciousness and body is streaming and changing always as oneness without differentiation. Then I need to invent the term of 'subbody' to call this world. I use the term of 'the darkness of body' and 'subbody' as almost same meaning. The tiny difference is that 'the darkness of body is used as a point of view of 'world image, 'subbody' is used as 'self image'. But also these terms are bound by the bias of human. Only we human have the concept of the self and the world. Life is not bound by niether self nor world. When we try to receive everything as life, we need to use the term of life. Life is belonged in the world of 'non-dual and multiple- dimensions' Lao tzu was a person who found that the world of non-dual and multiple dimensional world as 'Tao'. Then sometime I use the term of 'Tao' with respect for him. In the primary cultures they have so many similar concept with Tao, like as 'Mana' in the animism, 'Atman' in ancient India civilization, 'Emptyness' in the Buddism, and so on. But also these term are bound by so differnt interpretations infullenced by modern western concept. Then it is difficult to use these term. We need to invent our own term to investigate in life. Arnord Mindell who is the originator of 'process oriented psychology' also invented a term of 'second process' and 'dreambody', 'dreamland' instead of using 'unconsciousness. If you want to investigate life without the binds and biases, you need to invent your own term. Various points of views must open rich world of diversity. Life is non-dual and diversity at the same time. Qualia which life feels are streaming with changing in the non-dual and multi dimensions. Accoding to the String theory of phsycs, everything is genarated by the changing of resonance patterns of string . String is bibrating in eleven dimensions which is folded in the three dimensions which is familiar for our daily bodies. Now is the time which we can try to unify the both of ancient wisedom and contemporary investigations into a transparent new inteligence. |
| 5 March, 2008 A gift of subbody I created a subbody butoh dance,"Infectious Fever" in 1998. It was ten years before. I have performed this piece for many times at many places on the planet. At that time, I didn't know the reason why did I create like this strange dance. It was not a creation by my consciousness. One day it seemed to appear form my daekness of body. It's was full of misterious movement and sequence for me. I wondered who did create this dance. This deep question pushed me to the investigation of subconsciousness. It guided me to find the concept of subbody, as a subconscious=body. I thought that subbdoy must be a hidden creator who lives in the darkness of body. In this winter I found a basic exercise for trasformation method. It was uploaded partially as a particles of "Oral cavity breathing", "Three dimansional shift of body cavity and oral cavity", and "Transforming from body cavity". This series will be completed as a whole method of transformation. Everybody can practice this series of exercise. When he/she will get this technique, he/she become able to dance from the depth of being. It is possible to create a dance which is not only surface movement of arms, legs, and body by only by head work, but as a deep transformation from depth of being to another being. If one follows the strange body feeling of body cavity and oral cavity, nose cavity, eye cavity and so on, and amplfy the feeling, it will guide them to infinite variations of one's own subbody butho dance. This method must be the key to open the rhizoming technique which I serched for long time how to open the door to guide people to enter in it. I noticed that the solo of "Infectious fever" is connected to this finding. Because it was started from face transforming to body transformation, and opening another dimensions finally. At that time I mensioned this movement was to break my inteligence. But now I awared that the movement is only begining of this whole transforming method. I sank into the darkness of body and continued to dig the daekness for these ten years. Now I found that this digging connects to an universal method of transformation. Everybody can open one's subconscious creativity and create one's own unique subbody world through learning this transformation method. It will connect easily to next technique to open another dimension which I called "Rhizoming technique". Then one's body becomes like a theater itself to open another dimensions. This finding is a gift from my subbody. Subbody continues to give me important findings for these ten years.He is the guide of darkness, teacher, and he becomes my sworn friend through whole my life. If you try to create your subbody dance, I can give you an advice that you should put everything into your dance. No need to find meaning and sence by conscious inteligence at all. It is OK that you use misteries, secrets, wonders which you can not understand the reason why do I do this. Also very important archetypes will come out into the subbody movement, it will intend to controll your creation strongly. It is Ok. recieve them and continue to fihgt against their strong power. Through this strugle you must find what is the most important thing which your life wants. Also many strange archetyoes tryed to enter into my subbody dance and tryed to controll me. I received everything. I had to struggled with them for long years. But through this struggle I could meet the most important thing to overcome and to solve for me. They are the unsolved problems which are hard relationship with dead mother, dissociated charactors including anger, unknown whereabouts baby, lorita, desire, and ego. I could not dance them yet all, but I could find this is the way to live with solving these problems. It is the gift of subbody. It is the way to connect with the secret of life. |
