Life is a Dance, Sometimes You Lead, Sometimes You Follow
Good morning Roy, good morning Joseth,
You are the dancer and the dance; you are a
partner in the dance of life.
Roy, there are two ways to reach me. One is
to talk to me. Another is to feel me.
The life that flows through your body is me.
Your awareness of that is communing with me. When you feel the energy you are
recognizing me. You acknowledge life and you acknowledge the essence of who you
really are. As you become more aware of this life force you will become more
aware of your body as the vehicle for the force that passes through you. You
will begin to experience yourself as a three dimensional object… a dense bulk
that is pulled down by gravity. You will also appreciate the value of the body
in its ability to move through physicality, as that of a rider on the back of an
elephant.
The physical body is apply suited for its
environment. As an observer in control and in a lofty position of observation,
the body seems slow and cumbersome, yet it is elegant in its movements and
interaction with its surroundings.
From this position of watching the body
work, it is easy to feel the separation; you are out of the box and in control
but not quite with the program. You drive the elephant, but the elephant is in
control of each foot step, you trust the independent system that through
experience it knows where to step.
The body moves independent of you, but
always you are the driver, you are in control. When you loose site of this, the
body runs aimlessly without direction, it lives but has little purpose except to
survive and it does that because it was set to autopilot, or survival mode. As
your awareness of the life force within you body grows, a different
communication develops; a co-operation that manifests itself physically in
mutual satisfaction. When you communicate well with the elephant and show love
and caring for it, it will respond in kind. It will respond more easily to your
commands. Talk to your body and it will feel the vibration of its own voice and
know it is alive and has purpose, it will work for you.
Your body knows about physical things, that
is why you are in relationship to it. Your spirit knows about the life process
and your body reacts to it. When you work in harmony with your body, things move
easily. You will experience physical awareness as pleasant and satisfying.
When the body and the life force dance
together, what they create is beauty. Without co-operation the body may stumble
and fall, or feet may be stepped on. The chorography is the pattern and rhythm
of life, working in harmony. That is how it was meant to be.
Communication with the three aspects of who
you really are brings forth such beauty and it is a wonder to behold. Truly
little can be more pleasurable or touching as two dancers moving together in
harmony and co-operation. That is how your life was meant to be, that is how it
was all set-up.
You were given independence, but always you
were to work together with your parts. You may have forgotten how to talk to
each other. That is the great secret. You must begin to talk, to work together,
and to begin to work as one, by being able to know your uniqueness and
relationship to each other. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. But always
you come together, in co-operation and splendour. And always you stand back and
watch yourself from the edge of the dance floor.
You are the observer and the dancer, you
must see the magnificence of you dance, you are dancing for you life, you are
the centre of attention. The circumstances of you life are the props you have
created, to reflect the independent moves and choices in your routine. Without
these symbols, the dance would just be a dance carried out in space with no
reference or relationship.
Your dance reflects the relationship you
have with your physical world. The purpose of a dancer is to dance, find out
what your purpose is and move with it and it will become a thing of beauty, it
will flow easily.
