harisun asked: what is the significance of organs in the pursuit of contentment? I understand how posture effects ones ability to reach levels of consciousness that are usually not accessible without pursuing them, but you seem to talk quite a bit about organs and various body parts in your writings and I don't quite understand how to rationalize these concepts. Are you using coded or personal phrasing to describe your thoughts or do you believe that inside of our bodies, organs are important to a zenlifestyl?

Answer:

FOR harisun

Each of the organs ‘thingks’ a different way, the heart for instance works with the lungs to inhale resources and then uses the blood to remove poison from the body, which are then exhaled. This is comparable to the practice of forgiveness prayer and in some ways tonglen, so exercises which manifest a similarity to the function of an organ create a receptivity to that chakra or perhaps even the organ itself. I have the unfortunate ability to feel and densify my internal organs, move energy around my body, etc. all congruent with a kundalini awakening, but no one to teach me and years of weaponizing/using these skills for defense unawares that what I was doing might be unsafe. Organs to me resonate across the landscape and dreams, for instance a dream of water behind a dam to me speaks of either blockages or the hara, sea of ki, and sexuality. I’m by no means sure, this is an ongoing practice of mine, listening/watching for the language/symbols/processes of organs, comparing them to the outside world, etc. How, for instance, does one behave in accordance with the crown, or third eye, rather than the heart? The hara has its own sensibility of balance and physicality. What does ‘he’s a dick / she’s a cunt’ mean and why? This is an ongoing study in the relationship between thought, feeling, the imaginary, and the social in terms of organs, chakras, etc. through breathwork and experimentation. Other works are use of music for healing/programming and critiques of institutions.

Circulating Words on The Body - I’m either speaking these words or holding my assemblage/locus at a certain point on my body and thinking them. In the case of “You, Victor, Extreme” I spoke all 3, with the stipulation by a friend that victor was to be spoken over the center of my chest, which somehow turned back on the part of my energy body associated with Christ. What I’m doing is saying those words, seeing what feelings and thoughts occur, and seeing how those relate to my body. I sometimes think words with hara zen, which is inhaling into the hara/tanden, a point below the belly button that’s related to recirculating thought and stress into the center of gravity of the body.
