Enlightenment is a bodily feeling
Once a German friend of mine was paying a visit when my house was
full of people with a Vedantic outlook
on life. This philosophy tells us in short that we are not our
body. Actually nothing exists. Everything is an illusion. My
friend is a kind of meditative body-therapist. He said:
Enlightenment is a bodily feeling. This statement was met by a
tsunami of laughter from the Vedantist. They considered my friend an
amateur in spiritual matters. But I must confess that I any time
prefer to let the body "speak".
On the other hand I intuitively innerfeel that the Vedantic
knowledge is the ultimate truth.
But when it becomes
main stream
fashion to proclaim: I am not the body, I get very
cautious.
Talking heads and the dance of No. One No-Body
In fact only the body can innerstand
this truth! And maybe only a finger count of people in this world
can truly proclaim: I am not the body with full
body-resonance. But words are cheap.
I am not the body is, said from the head, a symptom of
intellectualitis. The spiritual ego-entity loves to
speak in terms of ultimate truth.
And now - have a look at the picture just above. Here you can see a
real no-body. In this dance this body has forgotten that it is a
body. Dance is a most beautiful expression of the timeless essence.
Dance is the dynamic meeting point between infinity and the finite.
Yes... Enlightenment is a bodily feeling.
In dance the divine nectar travels to the cellular level of the body
A kind of divine nectar follows you back in time and space after each
meditation. The Indians call it soma. The destination of
this nectar is your cells. They will "know", rejoice and
celebrate after eating this divine food. When dance - in the meaning of
celebrative movements - are
happening, it secures an optimal transport of soma from the timeless
abyss to the
cells. You will literally feel the soma-energy as joy in the
body.
Muscular blocks and the blessings of dance
It is very easy to see the specific structure of ego-entity in a
dancing person. A person confined to the ego-entity will dance in
certain monotone and predictable patterns. The ego-entity is
dependant on blocks in the body in order to define itself. This is
because an ego-entity basically is a no-structure. An average
body is filled with muscular blocks that prevents the soma-energy to
flow freely.
If you say yes to everything - if you allow any energy-happening to
take place in your body - the egg-shell of your ego-entity will brake
for shure. Your days of egg-oism will be over and you will raise as
a free dancing bird in the sky.
YES is GRACE
But this process actually happens a long time before you say
yes or no. Yes or no are the two hands of
the ego-entity. The activation of these hands needs thinking-time,
but life itself is always in the timeless now. So the
little poor yes always comes too late to catch the train
of life. And the little poor no has anyhow made it a lifestyle never
to travel with this train.
So there must be a deeper YES than the yes of the
ego-entity. This deeper YES flows with the river of soma from
deep within. It is the soma that automatically clears all your
bodily blocks. This deeper YES can never be understood,
planned or produced as a product of the ego-entity. This YES
is GRACE.
And thus the infinite flows in waves of dance into the
finite.
Drown your ego-entity in happiness
And when your body is ultimately happy it will transcend itself.
This transcendence happens in the same way as you never
notice your foot when it is functioning perfect. Only a hurt foot
will cry out for attention.
A perfectly healthy ego-entity and body are the true base of meditative alerted oblivion.
In enlightenment the only job left is to sing and dance!
Thus spoke Poonjaji. The girl you see
above is dancing in front of Poonjaji. If her body could say
anything it would say: I am not the body. But it does not
care to say anything.
How and when to dance
The best way to integrate and impregnate the divine soma in the
body is to dance just after meditation.
Just let go and trust that the body possesses a far higher
intelligence than what is governed by your conscious "I". Don't plan
or control the movements of the dance. Just let them happen. The
ego-entity wants to control the dance through rituals or fixed
movement patterns. If your body becomes unpredictable while dancing
- if it starts making creative movements you have not seen before -
then you have become like like a painting that paints itself in the
now - you yourself is art - you have become the
cosmic dancer!
The dance-field and individuality
The energy-field of dance is
tremendously
amplified in collectivity. So the most beneficial is to dance
together in a
group. But while dancing with others: please don't compare your way of the Budhha
with the Buddhas you see around you. Collectivity gives an amplified
field of consciousness-energy. But collectivity also tends to
uniform you and take away your individuality. Don't be a copy-cat -
be a true original only dancing on the impulses coming from the
inner Kingdom. Your oneness with the group has no uni-form. Close your eyes and
find your form the Sinatra-way. The paradox is that our common human
divine essence can only be expressed in total honest individuality
free of compromises.
Free dance in a group is a most wonderful metaphor for the
marriage between the infinite and the finite.
Of course you can also connect with
"others" in the dance. But let the connection arise from
within. Everything is possible when the ego-entity has left your
throne.
What kind of music should be chosen
Chose any music that you like and that appeals to your belly or
your heart. |
