Well the whole point of not-doing is to break the mundane routines of our intended actions to break free of the first attention and expand our awareness into the second attention. After some time of walking backwards I began to 'intuit' obstacles that were in my way so I would not trip over them. I began knowing when I was about to bump into something. The next thing I learned doing this not-doing was to actually place my attention into the concrete sidewalk, or the earth, beneath me.. It felt quite cool actually.I am trying to fathom the difference in our style of not doing.
If we were both bleeding i imagine you would not-do to stop the blood would take the healed wound "in principle" and apply it to yourself.. and i would not-do until the blood was all drained, take the bloodless corpse "in principle" and choose not to apply that nth degree.
It is not that i cannot abandon my humanity (although i rarely try). it is that i have a compulsion to tread as many steps as i dare in the same vein as the habitual assemblage point inexhorably drags those mid folly.i attempt a three pronged method.. The first is to track the direction habitual resistence takes the body., The second is to try to track a new direction for the MASS HABITUAL. and the third is to throw myself off its course at the most creative perpendicular angle i can.
I hope that the third move in lieu of its creativity will encourage the manifestation of path from the habitual itself.in that i do not leave the habitual until i reach a position within it that most who share it have a common intent to leave.
its a bit like walking through a haunted sewer until i find the ghosts of a thousand people all sick of the smell of $*#$.i try to leave the sewer with the dying breath of their intent.
