From the painting to the paint, from appearance to suchness, from movement to time.

The brain is so good at constructing a scene from mere little colored daubs of paint. And constructing a so-called reality too from what it sees all around. And constructing a self from past experiences and actions. All we can do is realize it's just appearances I guess.

Self-healing path no 6: Waking up at dawn, I hold the back of my head into the cup of my hands for 10 minutes or so to calm down my whole central nervous system, then I put one hand on my forehead and the other one on the back of my head to reorganize all the neurons. After another 10 minutes or so, I switch to holding my temples in the palms of my hands, my fingers pressing gently into my head and pointing towards the crown in order to balance the left " masculine" hemisphere of my brain and the right "feminine" one. We did that for one another by the Nile in Luxor during my initiatic trip in Egypt last May and it was a tremendous step in the healing of the contusion in my knee, but I had then no idea these were also self-healing techniques. These energetic skills transmitted through ancient Egyptians as seen on the walls of the temples are daily tools I now use to lessen the drums of fundamental anxiety beating in my blood, at a subterranean level I cannot access easily. It must be working somewhat because my mother-in-law we were meeting for her 85th birthday lunch at a nice French restaurant today, was shocked to see how different I am now. And she saw me not so long ago, at Christmas! #timestamp

Such as it is

Keep coming back to this quote: "Perhaps there is no such thing as spirituality other than to stop deceiving ourselves."

A 100% sufficient path, for the warrior of compassion. Acceptance, let it be, with no deception, as it is.
