13. Expansion of Human concept

 

Hijikata made some "Practice Butoh score" for the workshops to raise a butoh dancer of next-generation in his later years. It is his Will to the next dancers that "A size walk" and "Bugs walk" told us.

Become a small cell's Life and let the body follow the demands of "A size walk" carefully. Here it is not a body that belongs to the physical world, but it is requested to become a body that resonates with another dimension, different worlds behind the daily world. Every element of the Kugutsu (puppet) body was included that we have been exploring.

The revolution that Hijikata tried to do was to greatly expand the concept of human of the contemporary age. The world image of future human beings = self-image is included here.

 

             

              "A size walk"

 

 

1. Walk while keeping a size

2. Transition instead of walking between heaven and earth

3.  Become the grass ball eyes and put the third eye on your forehead

4.  The reflecting speed is faster than the viewing speed

5. Razorblade on the sole of the foot

6. A water vase on the head

7. Joints are hanging by the spider thread

8. The wish to walk is preceded and the shape catches up afterward

9. Traces of walking are hanging both forward and backward

10. Become the grass ball eyes and put the third eye on your forehead

11. Razorblade on the sole of the foot

12. A water vase on the head

13. Forest at the back tooth and spiders thread in the cavity of the body

14. Eyes already stop looking and feet will stop walking. Your being itself will become walking eyes, walking feet

15 Steps demand the discontinuity of walking and urge the spread of space

 

A short explanation

1. Walk while keeping a size

It is the Kugutsu (puppet) body itself because it does not have the flexibility of changing size.

2. You do not walk like a human being. You shift your body with the world behind, the heavenly world, the boundary of the earth, along with the different world of the darkness of body. Carry the Kugutsu (puppet) body which mediates this world and the other world.

3. Reduce your daily watching eyes and become the glass ball eyes of Kugutsu or Shisha.

And the other eye on the foreheads is similar to the traditional the third eye which is able to see everything transparently. Hijikata had deepened the third eye into the skin eyes that all the skin cells become into the eyes and ears; he called it <participation into the skin>.

7. The fact that a joint is hung with a spider thread is to become a puppet moved by some other power of a different world. In "Quiet House", it's called "The Red God". It resonates with other worlds through the motion of each single spider thread.

8. You do not walk with your own will; the wish to walk is away from the body. In an attempt to regain the missing soul, desperately trying to pursue that hard desire. Struggles in the impossibility to restore the integrity with the soul.

9. From here I will enter a different world. It has not belonged to the space-time of this world already. Beyond time, traces that walked in the past forward and backward are hanging. This is exactly the non-dual world to which Qualia of Life Resonance belongs.

10. Forest of the back teeth. Forests and nests are the special terms of Hijikata, the symbol of dark mysteries and secrets where unknown Qualia is entangling. The forest is the original forest that remains only in the mountains Tohoku or islands that almost of them have already been lost. Infinite Life and death fold in many-layered beyond time and space. Feel the deep mystery and unknown secrets of them. The cavity of the body resonates with the unknown world through the thread of the spiders as well.

11. Space-time is not as continuous as the daily world. Walking through a multitude of contiguous multi-dimensional contradictions where infinite space-time is interrupted. You do not know what will happen, cannot predict what your body transform into. You will experience everything as a "Shisha" as its infinite resonance transforming body.

This is the condition of the world image = self image for Butoh left by Hijikata. Why do we have to show such things to people who live in modern times?

 

The world =self image wearing overlapped different worlds

              If your image of the world is this consensus reality of four-dimensional space-time. Your self is a daily body. You do not notice what your body deviates away from Life and tapped into such miserable narrow prison.

If your world image is in sympathy with a different world from this world, you spread beyond the boundaries of contemporary human beings in different dimensions. The world image and self-image are integrated. There is no such thing as a world image and a separated self-image (identity).

              However, many Western thought and psychologists and scientists deal with it as if there is an independent identity from the world image.

In fact, it is unconsciously imprisoned into the common illusion of this contemporary world.

It was long ago that Heidegger raised the concept of "existence in the world" a long time ago. I also received suggestions from him about the idea of ​​my world = self-image. However, he did not consider the multi-dimensional world of the Life Qualia that mankind has resonated with myriad other worlds of Animistic worldview for tens of thousands of years.

              The fact that the definition of Life of modern biologists is only captured by material processes also indicates that biologists dissociate the non-material processes of Life. They could not integrate both, and still now no consideration about it, because they dissociate the real hard problem unconsciously and get fake happiness.

Even though anyone thinks that Life is not only related to the material dimension but, they ignore it because it is not a territory of science. They trap themselves in a narrow modern human intelligence.

Intelligence in any field will not attempt to capture the truth of non-dual and multi-dimensional Resonance of Life.

              It is the modern world trick that everybody is caught, self-isolated from the world, human dissociates the Life, knowledge forgets the long human history, and consciousness ignores the subconscious. Nobody attempts the integration at all. Segmented common fantasies, it is the contemporary world we live.

 

What Hijikata tried desperately

              Hijikata who was oriented towards Butoh of Life was aware of that. That's why he tried to show the true appearance of Life by becoming a swaying being among the different worlds of Life and death.To become Shisha wearing the various other worlds including death.

              Epidermal cells of our skin, the first secret membrane, are also dead cells. We are dying and dead, being alive and being alive. Nothing is as familiar as death to Life. Most of the entire Universe is the world of death. It is the reality of Life that is trembling always at the border of Life and death.

However, we forgot that long forgotten the awe of the unknown worlds. bound by the common illusion as if only a modern human being exists.

Moreover, from modern society, dead people, sick people, crazy people, disabled people, criminals are isolated to hospitals outside the society and prisoners, and only healthy people are allowed to exist in society.

              The thought that only a healthy person dominates the world and can change it as you want is prevalent in this world. In the ancient Greek world that was supported by slavery, citizens who eliminated slavery alone conceived the world = human figure, and it was aimed at governance by only that "narrow citizen = human".It is an illusion of democracy.

              The co-fantasy of that democratic state is still reigning as the best co-fantasy. Human element form that "human = material world view = democratic state" became a triple is dominating the world. They alienate the infinite creativity of life from modern humans. They will not be released from these narrow frameworks unless they overwhelm the modern co-fantasy structure of this Trinity from the ground.

              Hijikata tried to greatly extend the human concept through the butoh of Life. He tried to get back the infinite transformation ability that the modern man lost away.

 

"We abandon all human conditions.

Please do not mistake this. "

"Human beings have not touched one-millionth of the unknown order that will come yet."

 

Nevertheless, until when will you endure suffocating on this narrow fantastic prison? It is that question that Butoh dancer asks to the present age.
