The only way is movement

"Not all species on our planet have brains, so if we want to know what the brain is for, let's think about why we evolved one. Now you may reason that we have one to perceive the world or to think, and that's completely wrong. If you think about this question for any length of time, it's blindingly obvious why we have a brain. We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements. There is no other reason to have a brain. Think about it. Movement is the only way you have of affecting the world around you. Now that's not quite true. There's one other way, and that's through sweating. But apart from that, everything else goes through contractions of muscles So think about communication -- speech, gestures, writing, sign language -- they're all mediated through contractions of your muscles. So it's really important to remember that sensory, memory and cognitive processes are all important, but they're only important to either drive or suppress future movements."

"And the fundamental idea is you want to plan your movements so as to minimize the negative consequence of the noise. And one intuition to get is actually the amount of noise or variability I show here gets bigger as the force gets bigger. So you want to avoid big forces as one principle. So we've shown that using this, we can explain a huge amount of data -- that exactly people are going about their lives planning movements so as to minimize negative consequences of noise."

As soon as all effort disappears

Simplicity, simplicity! How sweet is the purity of Thy presence!
As soon as all effort disappears from a manifestation, it becomes very simple, with the simplicity of a flower opening, manifesting its beauty and spreading its fragrance without clamor or vehement gesture. And in this simplicity lies the greatest power, the power which is least mixed and least gives rise to harmful reactions.
The power of the vital should be mistrusted, it is a tempter on the path of the work, and there is always a risk of falling into its trap, for it gives you the taste of immediate results; and, in our first eagerness to do the work well, we let ourselves be carried away to make use of this power. But very soon it deflects all our action from the right course and introduces a seed of illusion and death into what we do.

Flowers - Their spiritual significance

Non appena ogni forzatura scompare
Semplicità, semplicità! Com'è dolce la purezza della tua presenza!
Non appena ogni forzatura scompare da una manifestazione, essa diventa molto semplice, con la semplicità di un fiore che si apre, manifestando la sua bellezza e diffondendo il suo profumo senza clamori o gesti veementi. E' in questa semplicità la forza maggiore, la forza che è meno commista e meno dà luogo a reazioni dannose.
Si dovrebbe diffidare dal potere del vitale, è un tentatore sulla via del lavoro, e c'è sempre il rischio di cadere nella sua trappola, perché ci dà il sapore del risultato immediato e, nel nostro desiderio iniziale di fare bene il lavoro, ci lasciamo trascinare dal fare uso di questo potere. Ma ben presto esso devia tutta la nostra azione dal suo giusto corso e introduce un seme di illusione e morte in quello che facciamo.

Fiori - Il loro significato spirituale

There is light inside a man of light

24 His disciples said: "Show us the place where you are, because it is necessary for us to seek it." He said to them: "Whoever has ears should hear!  There is light inside a man of light, and he shines on the whole world. If he does not shine, there is darkness."

52 His disciples said to him: "Twenty-four prophets have spoken in Israel, and all (of them) have spoken through you." He said to them, "You have disregarded the living one who is in your presence, and have spoken of the dead."

Gospel of Thomas

May the eternal sky acquire the form of the Earth absorbing Samsara into the empty field of absolute potential and freedom

Opening the sight

Peripheral vision
"it has generally been assumed that signals from the fovea determine the effects of vision on refractive development. However, experiments in laboratory animals demonstrate that ocular growth and emmetropization are mediated by local retinal mechanisms and that foveal vision is not essential for many vision-dependent aspects of refractive development. However, the peripheral retina, in isolation, can effectively regulate emmetropization and mediate many of the effects of vision on the eye's refractive status. Moreover, when there are conflicting visual signals between the fovea and the periphery, peripheral vision can dominate refractive development."

I was observing how I see with my eyes. I noticed that also my vision seem not know how "to open" to welcome the whole visual field. It's about awareness, it doesn't matter if the eyes are closed.
As the sight opened more, neck and shoulders followed. The dorsal-ventral wave.
And my mild myopia in the right eye is almost gone.

You continually open yourself

"This is the absolute truth. And I want you to understand one thing very clearly. Although I have encouraged you to set out in the contemplative way with simplicity and boldness, nevertheless I am certain, without doubt or fear of error, that almighty God himself, independently of all techniques, must always be the chief worker in contemplation.  It is he who must always awaken this gift in you by his grace. And what you must do is make yourself completely receptive, consenting and suffering his divine action in the depth of your spirit. Yet the passive consent and endurance you bring to this work is really a distinctively active attitude, for by the sinlessness of your desire ever reaching up to your Lord, you continually open yourself to his action. All this, however, you will learn for yourself through experience and the insight of spiritual wisdom."

"But when the joyful enthusiasm it will be abundant that it will follow you to bed at night and rise with you in the morning. It will pursue you through the day in everything you do. Moreover it will seem to occur simultaneously with that blind desire which, in the meantime, quietly grows in intensity. The enthusiasm and the desire will seem to be part of each other, so much so, that you will think it is only one desire you feel, though you will be at a loss to say just precisely what it is that you long for"
"A thousand miles would you run to speak with another who you knew really felt it, and yet when you got there, find yourself speechless."
The Cloud of Unknowing & the Book of Privy Counseling

"Questa è la verità assoluta. E voglio che tu capisca una cosa molto chiaramente. Anche se ti ho incoraggiato ad avviarti per la via della contemplazione con semplicità e franchezza, tuttavia ne sono certo, senza dubbio o timore di sbagliare, che Dio onnipotente stesso, indipendentemente da tutte le tecniche, deve essere sempre il capo nel lavoro di contemplazione. E' lui che deve sempre suscitare in te questo dono con la sua grazia. E quello che devi fare è farti completamente ricettivo, consenziente e subire la sua azione divina nella profondità del tuo spirito. Eppure il consenso e la passività che tu apporti in questo lavoro è davvero un atteggiamento spiccatamente attivo, dall'innocenza del tuo desiderio all'arrivare fino al tuo Signore, tu continuamente ti apri alla sua azione. Tutto questo, però, lo imparerai da solo attraverso l'esperienza e l'intuizione di saggezza spirituale. "

"Ma quando quel gioioso entusiasmo sarà abbondante ti seguirà a letto la sera e si alzerà con te al mattino.  Sarà con te tutto il giorno in tutto ciò che farai. Inoltre sembrerà verificarsi simultaneamente a quel desiderio cieco che, nel frattempo, cresce quietamente in intensità. L'entusiasmo e il desiderio sembreranno essere uno parte dell'altro, tanto che ti sembrerà di avere un solo desiderio, anche se non sarai in grado di trovare il modo di dire con precisione cos'è quello a cui stai anelando"
"Correresti per mille miglia per parlare con un altro che tu sai ha davvero sentito queste cose, per poi, quando arrivi​​, ritrovarti senza parole."

Suppling the brain and the body

Training in the path of the channels "helps to eliminate defects from the channels, winds and drops, making them very clear and flexible and preventing us for contracting diseases associated with them. if these three elements are supple the body as a whole will also be supple. This is because the channels, winds and drops pervade the entire body. It is very important for a meditator's body to be comfortable and flexible because this helps the mind to became clear and lucid, and a clear mind makes meditation powerful."

"The peaceful method may take slightly longer but it is a much smoother process. When the winds are brought into the central channel in this way they enter very gently and smoothly, and without the mental and physical side effects that could result from disturbing the channels, winds and drops. Those who can practice this peaceful method successfully do not need to meditate on the body as being hollow because for them there is no danger of wind or channel diseases. Je Tsongkhapa explained that the peaceful method is superior to the forceful one."

"The four places where these knots occur are four of the six major channel wheels. At each of the six major channel wheels a different number of spokes, or petals, branch off from the central channel in the same way that ribs of an umbrella branch off from the central pole."

I did not know and I could not see

By the river's dark, I wandered on
I lived my life in Babylon
And I did forget my holy song
And I had no strength in Babylon
By the river's dark, where I could not see
Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?
And he cut my lip and he cut my heart
So I could not drink from the river dark
And he covered me and I saw within
My lawless heart and my wedding ring
I did not know and I could not see
Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?
By the river's dark, I panicked on
I belonged at last to Babylon
Then he struck my heart with a deadly force
And he said, "This heart, it is not yours"
And he gave the wind, my wedding ring
And he circled us with everything
