We discuss the significant shortcomings of orienting oneself towards emotional expression and indulging in sensations in yogic, meditation, and conscious control modalities.

The failure of emotional repression assumptions forming the basis of effective work-practice, we preferring conscious control modalities.

Many people can spend years spinning their wheels in this pleasant muck, but to what avail?

An informal chat with the boys on some recent experiences during our re-engagement with bio-energetic work.

An informal episode, where we talk on our own challenges, and changes in view.

I think with some useful information in there for people who are also going through these processes. I give a channel update and an update on an original falcon project I've been involved in, as well as my thoughts on seeing an expert use these techniques and what I believe the implications are.

Always remember however - "it's just words...it's just sounds".

This week we a casual discussion building on "onethingness" and "thinking/thoughting"...

TALKING VS DOING. We all fall victim to not totally getting this - particularly these days when the world supercharges and sometimes even greatly rewards thinking and talking - in a word - passivity. Some feel the nastier or edgier their words are, that this "revolutionary act" will magically remove them from being passive.

Some think passivity can be attenuated by simply making positive statements or aphorisms about triumph or victory, or about the state of affairs that is clearly to "their advantage now" - as if reality will conform to their childish emotional needs.

Some feel that passively posting about active things can overcome the need to do anything, and that "hey, as long as someone else does it".

One of the main weaknesses of this species is that we are prone to rich fantasy lives in which we convince ourselves that something is "happening" and that passivity is some form of do-ing, theorising is some form of understanding. And worst of all, that all this has a strong causal relationship with a chance outcome.

In the Bio-individual method, there is only one valid outlook.

"Ok, who cares? So what are you doing about it?

The question we all need to ask - how willing are we to live a vital but disciplined life of action, do-ing. Putting down the phone, the books, dropping the pointless arguments or the tv controller and do-ing?

This is harder than it looks.....which is why barely anyone does it.
