| Resonance Diary in Himalaya 2007 |
15 August, 2007 A letter from a poet I recieved a kind letter from a poet through Youtube.com. I resonated with this letter deeply. Then I introduce the letter following. "butoh! hi rhizomelee I am so pleased to have found your videos on youtube. I am a poet and artist living in cambridge, UK. some time ago I came across your statement on butoh on the in hi rhizomelee I am so pleased to have found your videos on youtube. I am a poet and artist living in cambridge, UK. some time ago I came across your statement on butoh on the internet and was so inspired by it I wrote it down and still have it. I particularly loved the last line 'to look this living world from another world as a dead'. it had a real resonance for me. I have been interested in physical theatre and butoh for some years now and have done some performances in the past using these influences, including a particular performance of a long piece of text entitled 'absence'. sadly I never had the chance to video them. the line I have quoted from you also opened a strong echo within me for my feelings of writing, as I am very interested in the relationship between the physical body and the body of writing. sorry, it's quite late here, and i've just discovered this, I hope this will make some sense. I will look forward to studying the videos. I hope you are well, and thank you for the inspiration! very kind regards, david rushmer" I could remember my word which he resonated. So the word encouraged me to try swaying body between death and life today. We need real freinds who can resonate from the depth like this. Also he introduced our videos on his site of YouTube.com, thank you so much, David! Visit David's site Read the original text of the Butoh |
| 31 July, 2007 'Opening another dimension' and Roberto matta Subbody=cobody theater has a specific dynamizm of changing. It is similar with the dream world, like a dream comes out from another dream. Nobody controll it, but spontaneously a scene comes up from a scene. We call this ;'Opening another dimsnsion'. Also Roberto matta drawed so many drawing of 'Opening another dimesion'. There are so many painters who drawed another simensions, but it is few who draws the monent of opening another dimension. Everybody's dream world is like this. Our life is always resonating with so many different qualia, and streaming with changing dimensions. It is so creative. When you notice this, and get this, you can become unique creator who is only one in the world. |
| 11 July, 2007 A letter from an old friend I got a letter from my old intimate friend Joe on YouTube site. We have collaborated a duet dance ten years before in Kyoto, it was titled as 'Happy Cancer', which was uploaded on YouTube. It was edited by Joe. I am so grad to hear from Joe. Now he has a Butoh group in Los Angels. The video clip above is Joe's creation. It is powerfull against the consevative Establishment directly like my young age's activity against the war and the state, and it has full of artistic idea. We could resonate again after ten years absence with big pleasure. joebutoh Hi Lee, its Joe... Hisashiburi Neh! its been a long time since we talked ...almost 10 years!

| 24 June, 2007 Life resonates with the Dead We have lost the resonativity with the Dead. Especialy, we don't resonate with another country's dead. What is the state? How many people have died in Iraq or Afganistan, nobody cares, doesn't it? Also we have forgotten about Vietnam war, the second world war. I will continue to show the picture of the Dead in Auschwitz by Germany state, the Dead in Nankin massacre by Japanese state, the Dead in Sigon against USA. Please check your life resonance ability with these Dead. Is it alive? or not? When we have lost the resonance ability, we finish. View more photos Read more |
| 20 May, 2007 We are oneness multiple life I aranged some pictures of my favourite creatures at random, and try to show by photo frick on picturetrail.com. Think about that these creature's lives are continued from the original life which appeared on this planet four billions years ago. It is a one huge long continuous life which is oneness multiple. Also I am a part of this oneness life. Just i insert a picture of mine among them. Oh! How confortable is here! One of the best place where i have danced. Living creatures are more or less so similar. Me and ameba is not so different from each other. I enjoy this awarness. We are just participants of oneness multiple life. It is so great taste! |
| 29 May, 2007 Go to the edge of imagination This is corona of the sun. Corona is the atmosphere of the sun. The surface of the sun is just 6000℃, but the atmosphere is 1000000℃. The dancing of the corona is so beautiful. I loved it from my childhood. I tryed to become corona, and dance it in my imaginary world. Also the corona is generated by the change of the resonance pattern of the strings, as the string theory told us. Try to imagene what is the string dancing of corona. Butoh dancer always need to stand on the edge of one's own imaginaton. The string world is the most interesting touchstone for our imagination. . |
| 14 May, 2007 Kan Katsura Time Machine I found Kan Katsura's video clop on YouTube.com by accident. Kan Katsura is only one my butoh teacher, except of Tatsumi Hijikata who originated Butoh.. When I decided to live as a butoh dancer at 45 years old, I joined his training camp and performances in Japan, Indonesia, Koria, Hwaii, Thailand, and Singapore. I learned so many things from him. This video is at the New York Butoh Festival 2005. Mr. Kan! I am so happy to see you are fine! |
| 6 May, 2007 Life of resonance This weekend, i spended all the day by swaying with subtle qualia arround my house. Trees are changing color of leaves day bay day. Eagles, harks, falcons, valtures, and so many kinds of birds, manukans, mangooses, goats, cows, cats, dogs, and so many butterflies, I just sway with them. I like these qualia, I taste these qualia, I enjoy these qualia. Every qualia are so tasty! I love these life that just enjoy them. Of course I know there are so many strong powers to obstruct these swaying life of rsonance qualia. Televisions and newspapers which tell me the news of wars and violences by the state, I stop to contact them for a long time. I avoid to meet people who could not control their ego to express and push on others. I was hurt so deeply by ego. I could not stand the states which force the war which is the biggest violence in the world. I just try to move the direction to stop them a little bit day by day. It seems the minmun power, but we do not worry. Qualia which our lives feel are able to resonate together in a moment with all over the world. At 1968, all students were resonated together in a short moment to fight against the old system of societies. Just we should to tell the truth which we feel. Not by powerfull political voices, but by subtle qualia which are just swaying avoiding to the ego and the state. We should share each other our naive delicate heart each other. Subtler qualia have stronger power of resonance. If you doubt me, please watch the animation above mindfully, according to the string theory, every thing is generated by the changes of resonance pattern of strings. Especially, the qualia which our lives feel are free from the enrgy and the mass. Our qualia can resonate without the heavy binds by the mass and energy. The resonance ability of our lives must be the highest in the universe. |
20 April, 2007 Resonance with the dead, handicapper, insanity, and murder I used to dance with resonance with the dead, handicappers, and insanity for long years. But I hegitated to say about the resonance with the murder. After long years meditation and training, now I can say that I can resonate with the murders. I can resonate with Cho Seung-Hui who killed 32 people at the Virginia tech University. I can understand his psychology which has been driven into tight corner where he had only one choice to kill the others. Because also I was driven into the place through the hard experience of the construction of my school in India. I didn'd know about the so big culture gap between Japan and Himalaya India. The straight line and the right angle in India is not the same as Japan or advanced country. The time about schedule is not the same, the promise is not the same. The piriod of construction delayed unbilievable. The perfection was completely different from my order. I complained so many times, but nobody did not responsse. Some neibours adviced me that I have to get angry, then they move. I tryed to get angry, but no effect, because if I scold, the worker went home and never come back. Not only construction, all expieriences were strange, for example, when I send some computers, audio and video sets from Japan, all goods were arrested at the international post office in injustice way, and they demanded me so much bride so many times. Through these experiences, I was driven into the corner which I had to become a deep neurosis. I got dellusion that this world try to kill me. When we fallen into these trap, and could not find any sollutions, our life resoponse to survive by murder or suiside. Also I was caught by impulses to suiside or kill everybody arround me so many times. Why does it happen? Because the qualia which we experienced at the fetus age, start resonating strongly when we are fallen into the similar situation, and they possess us. When we were fetus, we were swaying in the womb's ocian confortably for first ten months. But when the womb start shurinking, everything changes suddenly. The mothers womb turns to killing machine, for fetus, we could not understand when will this hard experience finish. It seems continue forever. In the situation which we can not find the exit, the fetus is arrested by the biological anger, and the fetus shouts to the world 'I will kill you if you continue to kill me!' The fetus try to kill the womb, and try to escape from the trap.. Everybody has the same experience, though our consciousness forgrts it, but it is inprinted in our life deeply The face of Cho Seung-Hui seemed to the fetus when it got mad, and he tried to escape from the womb which seems killing him. Now almost people just hate him. But by hatred notthing is solved. The deepst origine is the fact which we have lost the resonance ability as a life in this ego oriented society and the state. We have to get back the resonance ability as a lives. If you fell into the same situation, you must become the murder. This is the human. We can understand every insanity if it happens on the human. Cho Seung=hui must be driven into the corner by hurt from the unconscious behaviors or light words of surrounding. He may be hurt by the dellusion of racial discrimination. But who can decide it was dellusion? It was a natural response for the life. Our lives have the same nature all arround the world. We share the same life. We have to change the world which continues to drive someone into the tight corner. The following is the last statement by Cho Seung-Hui. Please try to become a life, then it is possible to resonate with this dead tight situatin which his life had to be driven into. 「 • You have vandalized my heart, raped my soul and torched my conscience. You thought it was one pathetic boy’s life you were extinguishing. Thanks to you, I die like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people. • Do you know what it feels to be spit on your face and to have trash shoved down your throat? Do you know what it feels like to dig your own grave? Do you know what it feels like to have throat slashed from ear to ear? Do you know what it feels like to be torched alive? Do you know what it feels like to be humiliated and be impaled upon on a cross? And left to bleed to death for your amusement? You have never felt a single ounce of pain your whole life. Did you want to inject as much misery in our lives as you can just because you can? • You had everything you wanted. Your Mercedes wasn’t enough, you brats. Your golden necklaces weren’t enough, you snobs. Your trust fund wasn’t enough. Your vodka and Cognac weren’t enough. All your debaucheries weren’t enough. Those weren’t enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything. 」 View videoclip of Cho Seung-Hui Read more Read the meditation method |
| 25 March 2007 Calabi-Yau meditation Yesterday I found an excelent Animation of calabi Yau Space on the internet. It is titled 'Higher dimensions from string theory' by Jeff Bryant's "Mathimatica Visualization". He adds a coment with this animation, the following; 'String Theory predicts the existence of more than the 3 space dimensions and 1 time dimension we are all familiar with. According to string theory, there are additional dimensions that we are unfamiliar with because they are curled up into tiny complicated shapes that can only be seen on tiny scales. If we could shrink to this tiny, Planck-sized scale we could see that at every 3D point in space, we can also explore 6 additional dimensions. This animation shows an array of Calabi-Yau spaces which are projections of these higher dimensions into the more familiar dimensions we are aware of.' Now we can see how strings are resonating in the subtle multiple dimensions. Today I did my favourite 'Calabi Yau meditation'. Also jeff's animation uses Calabi-Yau six dimensional mathimatics found by mathimatician Calabi and Yau professor,USA. 1. Imagine that strings are resonating in our body and mind. According to String Theory, everyhting are generates by the changes of resonance patterns of strings. Every mass and energy, like the gravity, light, electricity, all kinds of particles. Also we can imagine that our life and the qualia which our lives feel are becoming by the changes of resonance paterns of strings. 2. Calm down ypur mind and keep it between sleep and awske. 3. After keeping this condition for a while, suddenly you aware that you can feel all cells are murmuring with subtle confortable rhythm. Also you can listen so many sound and light are dancing arround your life. Your life are resonating with these all kind of vibrations so happily. 4. If you catch these subtle signal, it is the sign that you enter into subconscious mode. 5. Just taste whole qualia in and arround your body/mind. 6. After meditation, take notes of awareness which you noticed through these process, as subtle as possible. Explore more about String Theory: Visit Brian Green's site 'Elegant Universe' |
Eagles start immigration Step eagles start immgration here. Hundreds of eagles gather together, and soaring up to the high sky withcatching favourite rising air current. When they reach to arround 5000m hight, they decide to travel to the east. They are going to Napal, and go over Himalaya mountains to Mongolian huge steps. The moment when they decide mind to start is so immpressive. They seem to teach us that we can move freely on this planet. |
