Embodiment Musings

Why do we all need to do daily body scans of Awareness and Action?

Hone our instruments of awareness, and they are maintained with the possibility of improvement over time.

Neglect our instruments of awareness, and expect them to degrade slowly over time.

Neglect our instruments of action, and we expect them to degrade slowly over time.

Focus on that which is within, ignore that which is without.

Focus on that which is without, ignore that which is within.

Focus on the collision of within and without simultaneously.

Focus on focusing.

Let your focus drift.

Discover that within and without can be separate, interwoven, and imaginary at once.

Discover that you can disappear.

Discover that everything is beautifully meaningless.

Discover that you can love someone with all your heart and need to run away from them at the same time.

Discover something I cannot imagine.

How can I move my awareness through the various waves, waterfalls, eddies and ripples within the river of neural information ceaselessly filtering into my awareness?

How can I navigate this Earthship with such an avalanche pummeling me every nanosecond?

How can I maintain my relationship with my sensory systems?

How might an eye respond when it has been trying to pretend you are ok with everything you see every day?

How might a neural system respond when the lower body has only been used in the stand-walk-lean-drive patterns for a few decades? How about a circulatory system?

How can we stop the epidemic of slow suicide due to bodily detachment?

How long can you handle existence in this biological form?

Depends upon the environments, I suppose.

So far as I know we are at an ~100% mortality rate from this disease. What a first world problem. Excuse me while I feel guilty for feeling this is a problem at all.

Do we kill ourselves out of egoic arrogance, resisting the constant wave of minor and occasionally major biological adaptations asked of us by our environmental interactions, until we are actively fighting so much of what our body wants and needs to do that death is the only answer?

Once total neuro-muscular control is achieved, can a species ever be the same?

What higher level abilities might stir up in the pursuit of such an obviously beneficial goal?

Most of us die in someone else’ drama. . .
