Oh, the other night I set out to clear my head by focusing on sounds because I have often had the spontaneous experience that that will quiet the internal
racket. Well when I set out to do it I was then constantly bombared with internal babbage and over and over kept comming back to sounds--I was set to quiet
that but instead fell asleep eventually. Those bastards got me. Then last night I reached the chapter in "A Seperate Reality" where Don Juan has
Carlos focus on sounds until he begins to look and hear at the same time noticing their patterns and the "holes" inbetween. I had some understanding
of that from listening when dancing and drumming especially and listening to a wooden clapper. I have seen sounds as patterns of color with spaces, is that
something that would be called the abstract? There is a point where the absract can become so intimate, sound is touch.
I really like how puting two together makes a third, sometimes being indirect works best. It's like how they describe the siddahs devolping from yoga
practices by default.
