How to Liberate from the Archetype
How to Liberate from the Archetype
Notes on dancing the archetype
We dance the universe. What is seen and what is unseen, we dance all. Archetypes are the oldest resident in the darkness of the body. The time when we must dance a variety of archetypes will come often. Archetypes are a matrix of our imagination that humanity has genetically inherited from ancient times, and it has a very strong binding force. When we are caught once, then it is difficult to get out.
If we are possessed by it, we would fall into a miserable existence without flexibility, creativity, and originality.
Shadow, Anima, Animus, old sage, Trickster, Girl, Boy, King, Queen, God, Demon, Devil, and Ego are the archetypes of self-image. Few people know that the Ego is also an archetype. But, it's the strongest archetype of modern society. Most people have got caught too, then it is misunderstood that it is the inevitable nature of the human. But it is just an illusion imprinted by the capitalistic education and information system.
Though it must become lifetime work to be separated from the Ego bind. It is the biggest challenge for modern people.
Otherwise, we cannot recover the Resonativity (resonance ability) (=Resonance ability) which are the most important qualities of Life.
We need to dance all the archetypes, to be released from the unconscious restraint of them. It is only possible to escape from the restraint by dancing them thoroughly. We need careful attention to dance it. We must keep a safe distance where we do not get eaten by it. There is no choice but to dance on the edge of the fine line between success or failure. Otherwise, we would be eaten by archetype and become the prisoner easily.
The miserable state of the guru is born to do so.
De-self-conditioning
When your Ego and Self are activated helplessly by a storm of emotions and feelings and cannot get out of it, please try this de-self-conditioning in such a case.
Leave from the place where you are excited. Find a quiet place, in the standing position or sitting position.
Feel the breath of Life.
Your hundred trillion of cells in your body is activated to get oxygen and feel that the body is going swell just a little while relaxing very slowly.
And after a while, some part of the body starts fading also.
Let your body relax in the comfortable Life sway.
Swayback just one millimeter, from your present position to another dimension of the dead.
Stretch your back a little bit and move toward the behind world.
Become a transparent body, feel that you are missing from this living world.
Watch this living world from the dead world.
Enjoy this de-self-condition, until your mind and body become silence.
Basic conditioning to edge work, and de-self-conditioning
During searching for old photos of swaying conditioning, I met nostalgic pictures in the School photo folder of 2006.
At that time, the school term is one month to three months, then we could enjoy the beginning stage of the subbody process.
There were three processes in the slideshow above.
1. Swaying meditation to free resonance
2. Rolling conditioning to free resonance
3. Reso-touch to free resonance.
Still, now, we follow the same process in the beginning. And proceed to various self or group research processes. This variation became so developed in the past decade, students are able to explore the darkness of the body deeper.
Edge---Biggest difference between ten years ago and now
One of the biggest differences is 'Edge'.
In the short term, students may not encounter hard strange edge Qualia. Or in case of meeting something hard, they finished school and left.
But now school term extended to a minimum one year to three years. All students must face each own edge and have to solve it and overcome it because the edge Qualia is one of the richest sources of originality, creativity, and resonativity (resonance ability) of Life.
Edge is unknown hard Qualia which happen through the resonance of one's first process and the second process. The first process is one's daily body/mind. There are strong Ego and Self, and ego or self is bound by an illusion which "I" can decide everything freely, 'I" can think everything freely. This "I" as the subject is the strongest illusion of the modern human. We can say it is the strongest Archetype that remains in the contemporary world.
It connects to individualism and capitalism strongly and Ego and Self-support the Nation-State which is also the strongest common illusion of this world.
The so-cold 'success stories' bind people tightly.
This first process is bound by dualistic logic; good/bad, input/output, right/wrong and so on. All words and language thinking are bound by dualism.
Then, students who entered the Subbody school, their first process meets unknown second process in the darkness of the body.
It has completely another logic which is non-dual and multi-dimensional resonance.
Students have to encounter strange Qualia which are streaming in the subconscious realm. It is an extremely strange world which they had not to notice until now. All people feel fear and unsafe, their Life shrinks for self-protection against the unknown something. It is a natural process of Life.
During the three months, all students meet it and have to struggle with it. In these ten years, we could develop the method for how to resonate with the edge Qualia.
1. Acceptance
All Ego and Self don't know the importance of acceptance. Because they are bound by the illusion of the freedom which "I" can choose everything. "I" will follow to a good thing which "I" recognize so if "I" don't agree, I will not follow.
How foolish an illusion it is! All illusion of "I" are supported by the intentional ignorance to the fact which we cannot choose parents, nation, sex, body, time/space of the birth, and the kind of creature.
So, the first thing to do is accept everything including hardship, emotion, body condition, and so on.
2. Optimum distance
Find the optimum distance with the edge Qualia.
This is the basic attitude of Life. Until we will find the best resonance pattern, Life just waits with finding the safe distance.
3. Original conditioning
Invent a proper 'conditioning method' with its own edge.
With trying every method which you learn in the school, apply it to your own condition which is bound by the edge.
4. Change it to your own creation
Shift the edge Qualia to own creation of Butoh of Life. Though it would take time.
De-self-conditioning
These decades are the challenge for me as a midwife for meeting the hard edge of the birth of fetus subbody=cobody.
The edge is completely different among students.
How to support each student who is attacked by diverse edges, I could hardly find diverse methods of edge work.
Resonance touch
Resonance Shiatsu
Edgework of Mindell
Mixing method of hundreds of eyes-faces-breaths-voices-movements
Cobody work
De-self-conditioning
Accept everything as the Life Resonance
"Technique of Shisha"
Watching Life from death
A strange condition continues in my body and mind after leaving from Himalaya. I was so tired during the two weeks Himalaya Butoh Festival. I could not sleep during the term. I am carried by unknown space quietly as dead during the travel. Exactly saying, it seems a condition of so-called "Bardo" in Tibetan Buddhism. It is another time-space between Life and death. In Buddhism, it is believed that the dead floats in the Bardo during 49 days after the death. Also, I felt as if I am floating in the Bardo during the two months travel from Himalaya, via Switzerland, and Greece. I met various foreign scenery and things during the travel; I resonated with them as only one resonance until dying. I cannot bring them into the dead world. I felt every Qualia as only one chance in Life. Even subtle Qualia of swaying leaf, bird song, floating cloud, I could feel so brilliant and each of them is so rich and unique. I could feel all of the Qualia as the very precious resonance of Life. After death, I cannot feel any Qualia through Life resonance. I cannot carry them into the dead world. Now an important awareness came out. This must be the first essence of "the Technique of Shisha”.
The entrance of the " Technique of Shisha" is to stop the daily mind and body. Because they are so gross and rough comparing the subtle Qualia of Life. They are a trillion times stronger than Life Qualia.
As a daily body, we cannot be aware of the subtle sway of Qualia in the darkness of the body by the masking of strong language thinking.
We can try to stop thinking through various conditionings; the breath of Life, swaying meditation, shivering conditioning, and so on. Through these conditionings, we can calm down conscious thinking, and language brain. But it takes a long time to get it. In the intensive summer workshop in Greece, though the term is four weeks, in the third week half of participants have exchanged. Then we had to start again from the beginning of conditioning to become subbody mode.
Almost all participants still could not respect only one principle no talking during the class. They start talking often unconsciously. It means they are not in subbody mode. It means also that it is not possible for them to stop inner talking and thinking. Even one word coming out, it destroys the subbody mode of other people including me.
To take off all condition of human and to become Shisha is the essence of Butoh. Then in the third week, I decide to guide people into the dead world which I am experiencing now as "Bardo". Through normal conditioning of swaying or vibrating, when we enter the subbody mode, slowly all of Life swaying’s stop and become a Quiet body as a dead.
Watch this living world from the dead world.
You are already not here; nobody can see your shape.
What will be seen in your dead eyes?
What is happening in the living world?
What is Life?
What is death?
Continue this condition during your whole life.
You can get such precious awareness about Life and death.
You will be able to become a Butoh dancer someday.
In the dancing, the subbodies and cobodies come out as the multi-dimensional entangling condition itself.
But, after dancing, the mind notices bind of the dualistic trap of the language and thinking habit.
I felt that my subbody=cobody group seems to be divided into two groups?
I have misunderstood myself by the illusion of so-called "Multiple personality disorder" or "Dissociated identity disorder". Because the aspect itself trapped by the biggest common illusion of "Identity".
Now I noticed that I have to take off that dualistic illusion about myself.
In the darkness of body, subbody=cobodies are resonating beyond all borders and entangling so complicatedly in the multi-dimensional resonance realm of Qualia and the String.
One day when I was dancing with Pilar, some unexpected subbody=cobodies came out;
-The torn God of the soul,
-The flea that cannot jump as the first lover,
-And with the body of the crown system, -
-Baby Lee's infinite trial to search mother
-The dualistic illusion of the struggle with Ryuji's mind and Ryuji's body,
-It might be fake to dance the dualistic confliction of them
Actually, they were resonating and entangling in the multi-dimensional realm of Qualia and the String.
The exploration of the body's darkness continues.
To a country where unseen mysteries and secrets are entangling non-dual and multi-dimensional realm.
To dance it till becoming Transparent.
