De-self-conditioning

Image
  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.  

When ego comes out

Image
  When ego comes out  It took for decades to be able to catch the moment when the ego comes out for me. Now I control myself to be subbody mode in a whole day, otherwise, I cannot enter into student's subbodies and resonate with it from inside. But sometimes when the morning conditioning is not enough, my ego comes up and possess me, I noticed twice times in this week. Maybe I felt that my work for this year has finished, then conditioning becomes loose. It is one of the proofs of loose that my old poet character came out this week. I have lost concentration for keeping midwife mode. Then many small fragmental egos come out and possessed me. When ego comes out, it has a particular signal. Ego is bound by dissonance mode. Because ego was born when the complete resonance with the womb world was broken, and ego had to make oneself as if it were a war orphan. The ego feels always conflict, fear, anger, and complaint to the others. It is the first characteristic of an ego that ego ...

There is nothing to be ashamed

Image
  There is nothing to be ashamed Whatever happens in our darkness of body, there is nothing to be ashamed. All of what is moving in the darkness of body are phenomena of life. When we watch them by daily eyes, it looks ugly, ashamed, miserable, but when we open eyes as a life, there is nothing ugly, ashamed, miserable. There are so strange Qualia streams, moving, desires, impulses, imaginations, illusions. All of them are phenomena of life. Who can give decisions to Life? If your ego feels that I can decide everything, it is just the illusion of ego inflation. During subbody dancing by the naked body for long years, I got it; "There is nothing to be hidden and to be ashamed in the darkness of body.". There is nothing to hide, on the contrary, we can resonate deeply with all of them among people. Stop judgment by the daily mind, and open all of the subbodies for sharing. Subbody Butoh is neither ego expression nor self-expression. It is the creative expression of life. They ar...

Release from strength

Image
  Release from strength The biggest point what I learned in Himalaya is that we don't need to pretend to be strong. It's not necessary to show that we are strong. We are so deeply bound by the strength which our society and education continue to force us to be strong. It becomes unconscious pressure in the darkness of the body. We need to release ourselves from the pressure to pretend to be strong. Our ego is bound by this pressure. But not only ego but also subbody is bound by this pressure. When I created "Infectious Fever" ten years ago, twenty years old subbody possessed my body and created the piece. Then it was full of strength, pretending to be brave, I was bound by the tendency which tries to show stronger movement. After the performance, I found that my body was full of adrenaline mode. It was so bad for Life because the immune system was shut down in adrenaline mode at all, then my body had stopped to perform it eight years before. But this month, when I tri...

Beyond the huge difference between Ego and Life

Image
  Beyond the huge difference between Ego and Life   Life is non-dual and multi-dimensional resonance itself. Qualia are Life Resonance.  It has no dualistic boundary. All Qualia are resonating beyond any boundaries.  It is Rhizome that has no center, no top, no hierarchy at all. The Rhizome is able to connect freely and separate flexibly at any moment at any place. On the contrary, ego, superego, and consciousness live in the dualistic world. It is Tree system that has hierarchic order.  There is a huge gap between Tree and Rhizome. We need to cultivate a novel type of intelligence that is able to go and come between both realms of Tree and Rhizome. This issue will be described later. (See chapter 8. “Rhizome ⇔ Tree sway”)

How to stop ego and superego

Image
  How to stop ego and superego   24-hour Listening to subtle Qualia In a quiet state where you can notice the appearance of ego and superego, it is important to spend every day at that condition, because the appearance of it is so subtle.  As long as you talk with people using words, self and superego are activated unconsciously. And in the conscious mode, we cannot listen to it. It is important to stop talking with words externally and internally. Maintain a transparent state of mind and body that you can notice the subtle Qualia constantly. Then you can notice at the moment when ego or superego comes up. At that moment, you can give a greeting to ego and superego. “ Hello! My ego, and superego. How are you? I know you well, you are necessary to survive in this capitalist society. But, not now. Now I am in the creation mode. See you later!" Never deny the ego or superego directly, because it activates them as counterproductively. Ego and superego want to receive optimum ...

How to Liberate from the Ego

Image
  How to Liberate from the Ego   In order to fully demonstrate the creativity of life, it is necessary to get out of the ego, superego, and Archetype. The fact that modern people cannot exercise the creativity of life is, It is because he/she is forced to have an ego and he does not know how to stop his ego. Nothing becomes obstacles to create as much as ego and superego. Because they are captured in dualistic judgment. In order to quench ego and superego, first of all, we have to know exactly what they will show up. People are unconsciously captured by ego and superego in daily life, it is because we cannot control it without knowing the other party. Let 's describe the outline of how the ego and superego emerge.   The ego's appearance   The ego generally appears in the following form. If you notice it, immediately say hello and break apart.     1. Private Territory Owner Ego is always territorializing like "This is my area". It is driven by...

Things that disturb transparency

Image
  Things that disturb transparency The biggest Archetype: Ego I continued to try to  calm  down my ego process for decades years, now slowly it is able to catch the subtle signal when my ego comes up transparently. Until now I could not notice the timing because my ego did not calm down enough. Maybe, the ego is the biggest  Archetype that is imprinted in the collective unconsciousness for us . Now everybody has it, and nobody noticed that ego is the Archetype as the same as other Archetype, Anima, Animus, Great mother, Trickster, Superego, God, Devil, Spirit, Ghost, Monster, and so on. It is the most familiar  tendency  for  the  daily body and mind.  In this capitalist economy, without it we can’t survive. But, in the creative realm, it is the biggest disturbance.   When ego comes out   I noticed that there are two typical tendencies which the ego comes up. One is the moment when the ego receives uncomfortable pressure from outsid...

Reducing until Transparent

Image
  Reducing until Transparent   To reduce something extra from within oneself. Reduce meaninglessly bullish ego which continues to hurt others. Reduce one's own persona mask that pretends to be healthy and good. Reduce my baby ego continuing to be cranky, unknown fetus's sexual impulses such as the slime mold. Continue to reduce something opaque within me. The secret technique <Reduction by X> of Hijikata Tatsumi is that, if we would say by plain word. Hijikata also continued to reduce everything opaque within him, until becoming Transparent Life which is able to be oneness with his dead sister. He kept reducing bullish dance and aggressive performance of his own. He continued to reduce until becoming transparent Life! These years, I found it during dancing again little by little. If we encounter some tendencies opaque that bind us, we can change it to our own creation and are able to be transparent. I cannot be a transparent Life unless reducing all tendencies opaque whi...

Let’s train the Transparent eyes

Image
  Let’s train the Transparent eyes   1. Listen to the non-dual Qualia in the darkness of body Every day, we start  medimotion or  the  walking medimotion like  Ash walk  or weakened walk . When we stop thinking and listen to the darkness of the body, at first, we meet obscure chaotic Qualia that is not able to distinguish which they are. Sensation? Memory? Feeling? Imagination? Dream? Illusion? Signs?  Flirt?  Finch?  Prediction?  Suggestion? We cannot recognize it separately, Qualia are mixed and changing at each moment like a Rhizome. We call it, “Non-dual Qualia”. Life is resonating with this non-dual and multi-dimensional Qualia, always.   2. Hunt the moment the non-dual Qualia become a subtle movement In the Ash walk, we try to carry the body as quiet as possible. But, we cannot inhibit the subtle vibration or sway. We listen to the subtle vibrations or sways, we may meet so diverse tendencies, some par...

Transparent Riken (Distant) Eyes

Image
  Transparent Riken (Distant) Eyes   See yourself by Transparent Distant eyes, and check the following;   1. No Duplication Do not do Duplicate the movement unconsciously. See yourself at each moment from Distant eyes and if you find it, break it, and invent.   2. Break your habits Do not allow your habitual arm position, leg position as usual, and invent novel positions that you have never done at each moment.   3. Remember forgotten Qualia Listen to your Hidden skins, Hidden joints, Hidden fluid and resonate with your Qualia cloud around your body. Those Qualia moves each detail, part, and whole body.   4. Subtle control technique Pass through different Qualia at random, at a different part of your body, in a different direction, with a different rhythm. Remember the <Slow Kanchen>, <Silent speed>, <Listen to subtle Life Resonance>, <Carry density> and <Jumping wild>.   5. Mutual Midwife Either opening all the above poin...
