Thank you Joshua. I think as being increase and awareness, one is aware of inconsistencies in one’s persona and character. Krishnamurti would say it is enough to just see them, to witness, rather than trying to change them. Warm attention and ‘kindness’ will create an energetic change. I find the sensitivity to energy and people’s different energies really fascinating. As a poet you must be acutely aware of this. Really fine actors seem to have this.
“Try to remain the same person in different circumstances.” That's certainly a challenge, especially when one has to play differing roles in differing contexts. But good guidance nonetheless. I notice I respond to other people's energies. That's why some people light up a room, and others bring it down. It would be interesting to list the unchanging aspects of varied encounters. Perhaps 'kindness' in all circumstances would be a good starting point.
This is excellent David, beautifully written. I was just meditating on action for a forthcoming class. This has helped. Very clearly and luminously said.
Thank you, Valentin. So glad you enjoyed it. It's a curious discipline to produce a piece every week. I had a little more time this week, and perhaps it benefited from that. I turned down some paid work last week to enable me more time to write.
