Not me, but life...

Listen to the life, What do you want to do most today?
Life is always resonating with the world, and creating something.
We just follow a subtle tendency of life.
Not me, but life makes it...
Real subbody is like this.
To be butoh dancer is to become a transparent medium of life.

How to get a whole qualia

This month, long term students challenge to guide one day class.
Last week, chiara guided it. I became a participant. After various practices, she told us, "Go out to garden, and find a tree. Dance with it."
I found a jasmin tree. So sweet fragrance were spreading. Suddenly I found that the franrance connects to my Anima qualia.
I could reseach the Anima price which I have to dance in these ten years.
It was so pleasant experience for me.

Today, Xavi guided it. After conditioning, and practice of audio resonance, and Jo-Ha- Kyu composition. He guided us to "The blind guide". One person put blind fold on the eyes. One more person became a midwife to guide and guard the partner. And when the blind person find a place, dance freely with listening to the darkness.
When I tryed this, I noticed a subtle difference in my movement.
When I move with opening only movement channel, the qualia is simple and shallow.
But when I open various channels, the movement increases reality.
Especially, when the relationship channel opens, the movement get deep qualia.
When the world=self channel is open, movement gets the whole qualia.

If we can guide others to open these big channel, it is shure that their movmenet bocomes deeper and more tasty.
How can we open these multiple channels?
I have already tryed in various ways.
I have guided students to open each channel one by one.
Now it seems to have another posibility.
There must be much more direct way to open non-dual and multi-channels.
I will try to take longer time for it. In october I will try to use for two weeks or more for opening relationship channel. And in the November, for one month to open world-self channel. These deep channels need for long time.
It becomes possible to reseach it with slow tempo with long term students.
This is the real speed of subbody for changing.
I realized that in the short term course, everything was not real speed for subbody.
I had to arrange the process in a shorten process, but it was something fake. That's why my subbody hated the short course so strongly.
We need to realize that everyhting has each own time to mature, and to be whole.

Reseaching in the twilight zone

Friday is the integration day for students. We try to integrate all subbodies and cobody which we met in the week and month.
To open eight channels is one of the best conditioning for integration.
In the second semester, we try to enter one more deep layer of each channel which is not clear of separation by channels. Life lives the non-dual and multi-dimensional resonance world. We try to enter the border erea between non-dual and separation by each channel.

At the first semester, I tryed to open each channel one by one as usual. But I found it was the long way arround. Because I was bound by dualistic thinking habit. I have realized so deeply I was bound by dualistic divided thinking. I have to reconstruct all of subbody method in new ways to enter the non-dual and multi-dimensional world directly.

See the next column; "Eight channels conditioning" of Practice Guide


Practice Guide Subbody Butoh Method
8 Eight channels conditioning

Reseaching in the twilight zone between non-dual and each channel

Life lives in the non-dual and multi-dimensional resonance world which are not separated in any channels. But our consciousness can recognize only one channel qualia at a moment.
We need to stop consciousness by swaying or any other conditionigs to become subbody mode which can feel the non-dual qualia stream. Then we can catch the moment which specific qualia come out from the non-dual realm which each channel is not separated clearly. It is the border zone of qualia between non dual realm and divided realm by each channel. Here is the most creative world where so diversitive transformations are happening at every moment.

Bodily sensation
Feel the breath of life with long tide rhythm which is your all cells spreading arroud for one munite with changing resonance patterns, and fading for one minute.
Feel the qualia stream in the darkness of body. There are streaming so many qualia in non-dual and multi-dimensinal world.
Remember your dream world. Resaeach the twilight zone when a dream starts.
In the beginning, we are floating in the non-dual chaotic world. Everything is not separated clearly. And when we notice, a subtle body sensation comes out from the darkness.
Slowly it becomes clear, where here is, and who I am.
You can feel a posture of your body and feeling of existing at a specific world. And the scene becomes clear with visual qualia and sound and so on.
Taste this transforming moment from non-dual qualia stream to a clear body qualia and the other channels separating. Always our life is floating in the non-space, non-time multi-dimemsion. Dreams guide you between non-dual and multi-dimemsional world to lower three dimansional daily world which is clear "Where here is, and who I am." with a bodily ssensation.

Chaos of moving qualia
Feel your hidden joints and muscles with being twisted and reverse twist qualia.
Your pelvis, ribcage, spines, legs, arms, face are warped in various direction, and reversed warp.
Taste the chaos which various moving qualia are streaming in the darkness. And catch a moment when a specific movement comes out.

Twilight zone of visual qualial
Feel the darkness of body which various subtle light streaming. It is the twilight zone between darkness and brightness. Taste the moment a shape comes out from the dark chaos. Always a dream starts like this. Also subbodies start like this.

Deep silence with full of sound
Listen in the darkness, also there are full of subtle sounds and noises in the silence.
In the non-dual realm, there are no border between silence and sound.
Feel that so many inner qualia of musics, rhythms, voices are streaming and they are wishing to come out.
Each rib starts twisted in three dimensions. All hidden cavities change shape and resonante with breathing and body sound.

Emotional stream
Unknown someone warps your body into the limit. Catch the moment a emotion comes up from the change of body condition. We cannot name it, but feel the diversitive emotional stream. Your face resonates with various emotinal streams.

Relationship in proto stage
Various age's qualia of relationship are resonanting in the darkness of body.
When we are baby, we search mothers breast and drink milk. When it becomes full, we discharge. It the most pleasant moment for baby. Feel that mothers milk streams down from mouth to anus and digested into your body. It is the biggest sexual desire for baby between mouth and anus. Taste the very beginning moment when your human relationship channel opened. it is the moment when you separated from the non-dual oneness qualia of the fetus and womb.

Sways of world-self images
Our world images and self images( =Qualia of world and self) are always swaying. Among the qualia of "Everything's good" and "Something's wrong". Taste the swaying. It is resonating with your deep body qualia stream.

Sponceneous Resonance

We entered into sponteneous resonance world.
Students have trained so many different resonance pattern, now any instruction is not necessary. We just follow spontaneous life resonance. Every moment is experiment. We just find the most novel resonance patttern
in every moment.
We will polish this experiment during the semester.

Deep Individuation

Last week we did conditioning of five hidden qualia which are folded at hidden cavities, hidden joints, hidden mascles, hidden fluid, and hidden skins. Students met so many novel qualia and explored them. Through this experiences so many subbdoies came out.
It was the first stage of of Sen (=Novel, fresh, intersting) of Sen(Novel)-Shin (Deep) -Hitsu( Necessary) researching method.

"Sen-Shin-Hitsu" method for reseaching

Sen (=Novel) : Folow novel, flesh, intersting qualia widely
Shin (=Deep) : Reseach dep connection with your life, forthe individuation
Hitsu (=necessary) : Invent necessary subbody-cobody movement for survaval as becoming life

View "Sen-shin-Hitsu in " Practice guide"


This week we will enter into the second stage of reseaching ;Shin( =Deep). When we will meet novel qualia, we try to reseach deep conections with hidden memories, proto dreams with a specific qualia. Then it grow up to deep individuational stream with own whole qualia.
Individuation is a special term of Jung. It means to become oneself with opening full of potentials.

These hidden conections are folded in the unconsciousness. Our consciousness cannnot remind them, because they are belonged in subconscious realm.
We need to become subbodies to contact with hidden connection and hidden constellation.
When we stop daily htinking, and become subbody mode, we can catch subtle siganls which are folded in various hidden part of body.

To reaserch five hiddens will help you. With reseaching five hidden part of the darkness of body, listen in subtle forgotten conections between movement and inner qualia stream.
Slowly special hidden constellation which only you can feel will come out and it will guide your subbody movemet into the deep individuational world.

Different dimensional resonance

Resonance between different dimensions, this is one of the most basic plinciple of life.
In the nature, eagles,plants, bacteria live in different dimensions and resonating together.
Dead creatures are rotten in the earth, bacteria eats them, plants get nutrition from them and generate ogygen gas through sun shine energy, and so on.
The dgrees of resonance are different, some one is directly, another one is very far resonance.
But anyway every life is resonating in different dimansion.

We can learn various resonance pattern from nature.
When we get this thechnique, theater become so novel world.

This week students reseach the different dimansinal resonance in various channels.

One subbody open audio channel, and make various body sounds, the other subbody resonate with it in different distance.
Sometimes similar resonance which body movement and sound sychronize.
Sometimes body movement takes distance from audio stream, and keep its own rhythm.
When we can control these resonance pattern in varius distance,each subbody can be in diffferent dimansion in a space.

Slowly students learn various resonance pattern, then subbody cobody theater becomes so rich taste which we have never seen before.
We wiil continue to investigate in this.
There are hidden novel posibilities infinitely.

Resonate with other world


In this month, we research, Kugutsu body, Nest body, and cobody resonance in different dimansions.
And how to open and control emotional channel.
Students integrated all of their researching for subbody and cobody.
The difference is so subtle, camera could not catch.
But slowly their subbodies and cobodies are changing with wearing other world.

Open workshop by students

Students are going to have one week open workshop, at Dharamsala.
Each student will guide one day workshop.
He or she have to take all resposibility of the process from conditioning, reseaching, and creating.
It is the first step for becomeing a midwife for subbody-cobody process.
In subbody method, there are no teacher, but midwife as a role of facilitator.
To become midwife, we need to through out our ego, self, and to become resonating life.
Because subbody is like a fetus. It is hidden in the darkness of obody for long years.
We need to just listen in their bereth of life, and give the most helpful support at the best timing.
If we are bound our selves, egos, it doesn;t work.
This is the nessesary step for becoming resonating life.

It is the big pleasure for me.
What unique subbody and cobody will come out?

Wear the other world

We meditated with audience for a while before starting the last weekend theater.
Because an essensial change is happening on student's body in the second semester, but it is too subtle to notice by busy daily body and camera.
Only at the real moment we could share it through life resonance, it was so tasty.
Students became a quiet body through the breath of life.
And started to carry the quiet body as an ash walk.
The biggest change was what students became to listen to the other world.
They wore other world, and carryed it.
They could listen to so many qualia from the other world.
Exactly saying, it is not only a world.
Life is resonating with so many other worlds; dead world, hidden life memories, forgotten dreams, past life memories when we were another creature, underground world, heaven world where so many archetypes are floating, uiverse, and so on.
We can wear and carry all of othe worlds.
When students started walking with them, they could control all of the space with unknown indications.
From various other worlds so many qualia visited their bodies. They also wore them on the various parts of body, and hidden skins as subbodies.
Subbodies wanted to come out, but students controled them at the minimum size.
This is the Nest body. They carryed nest body quietly.
They could become to wear so many layers of qualia.
This was the biggest change, though it was so subtle that daily eyes could not catch it. Also it is unable to catch by camera.
Everyhting become more subtle and quiet littele by little.
I recognized that it took time for half year for changing of body and mind.
This is the reason why I had to close the short course.
Slowly slowly we are entering a novel realm together toward the butoh of life.
