The not fully honouring of the oversensitive precision that I am, I have, there is.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tot zover even. 02.15. Weer zitten.<br \/>\n(Dit nadert of is de afronding van weer een verslaving).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Inmiddels 02.45<br \/>\nNet halfje codeine genomen.<br \/>\nOm wat dieper te slapen.<br \/>\nIk ben glashelder wakker.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The last half hour i have seen how all this works: i am is unlimited in all ways. Not even expressible.<br \/>\nYet, as soon as there is something added, i am .., then suddenly it gets, on the subtlest energy level, as a thought form, as a thought thought form, as a almost immaterial soap bubble, a limitation, a limitation in the form of the form itself. Suddenly there is this thought &#8216;I am ..&#8217; and then the virtual thought I, this &#8216;I am ..&#8217;,\u00a0 is inside this bubble that the thought is. It comes with a self evident besef that the inside of the bubble is seperate from the rest of All. It also comes with a unreflected knowing that this bubble has to be kept intact. The vritti has, as it were, as if, a inbuild immune system energy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Here it comes in handy that I have learned to change the dream.<br \/>\n(And what a strong resistence there was in me to this idea!! Why change a dream at all!! You can just be aware and be the witness!! Yes that is true, and this attitude makes changing unsatisfying habits rather impossible. It comes with a feeling of helplessness too).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now the vritti, the moderation in mind, can be deconstructed, just by touching it the soap bubble will go back to what it already was: consciousness, pure consciousness.<br \/>\nThe virtual difference between inside and outside will dissolve. Just by the knowingness of I am. Of zoiets.<br \/>\nMooi allemaal.<br \/>\nSlapen.<br \/>\n3.10<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Slept till 8.20.<br \/>\nSung for half an hour.<br \/>\nSaw now clearly that the evaluative morning thinking just happens, unhindered by and while the joyfull and playfull singing.<br \/>\nDecided to go along with the in the dreamstate already looked at idea to publish this notes.<br \/>\n&#8216;For myself, as a statement, and for the few out there that will recognize and appreciate the precision in it.<br \/>\n(I am aware thereoff that this last sentence also has a statementlike content).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Recently, with the suddenly having disappeared Australian couple and this young lady that I saw again in the performance of the students of the Butoh school the day before yesterday,\u00a0 i was present when they had a conversation about all this nicely polished little stones that she had bought and showed us. I could only participate by being honest. So I told them that I don&#8217;t feel any difference between a diamond and a brick. We even talked about the Arunachala. Many people are strongly touched by it. For me it is just a giant heap of rock.<br \/>\nJust to explain the title of this:<br \/>\nA uncut and unpolished piece of diamond quality rock.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mcleodganj 2018.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">PS.<br \/>\nVerlamming = paralyses<br \/>\nVerraad = betrayal, treachery<br \/>\nOnbetamelijkheid = impertinence<br \/>\nBesef = notion<br \/>\nNeglectant = negligent<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A belated meditation report, written during sitting in meditation on April 7 2018 in Dharamshala India: A uncut and unpolished piece of diamond quality rock.
