Enter The Outer Body
☉
“Where does my body stop and where does yours begin?”
— Mary S. Applegate, Liquid Air (Air Liquide, 1992) π
Concept ⇌ Sensation
For centuries, the Cartesian dualism - the concept of separation between mind & body, self & other - has dominated occidental models of reality. This dichotomy differs diametrically from the theory of nondualism, which implies oneness, unity of all in existence. As another concept, however, oneness sounds merely intriguing, until we experience it directly.
According to Schopenhauer, our sense of separateness simply exists as a result of our will to objectify, an illusory effect of our perception of time, and space. It may take an ordeal, a shock, a sacrifice to cause a breakthrough of the metaphysical realisation, that self & other indeed exist as one. Our true reality lies in the ineffable connection within all of existence.
The oriental model, encompassing this sensation, is called yoga, which translates as union or unifying — a dynamic process, not a static state. Advanced practising of asana - postures, poses - and deep meditation, leads to a transcendental state of awareness, named samadhi - blissful, direct experience of oneness.

More than anything, Art can do this ..
In “the zone”, artists, dancers, painters meditate, following their bliss. When we feel aroused by a piece of art, music, poetry, we transcend our state of individual perceiving, expanding the physical boundaries, and move into a mutual realm of becoming — the outer body.
… and of all forms of Art
Music does this more than anything else, especially when we dance. Imagine a large crowd, dancing at a festival — one of our most familiar forms of coll-active meditation: rhythmic movement to a common pulse, synchronizing all postures, creating a shared state of oneness, a direct experience of the outer body.
Through art, music, dancing, we can transmit and receive this sensation. By direct experience, it propels us beyond the illusive barrier of the skin, as we extend spontaneously into the medium that embraces us. We move out of our steady state, into ecstatic trance, euphoria, rapture. As such, we expand into the outer body, the physique of life at large.
Entering the outer body, we feel alive — quite possibly the sensation, which we continue to chase, and crave. Like a luminous shadow, it stalks us wherever we may go, waiting to tap us on both shoulders by surprise, engulfing us with goosebumps, lifting us from our ground of being, headfirst beyond our apparent borders, boundless into bliss.

War No More - Rehash Zero: A Peace of the Pi
[ listen to the full speech here and there ]
AO+2024.3.14 - War No More - Rehash #0: A Peace of the Pi
The Fourteenth of April - 3.14 or rather Pi Day: Celebrating gladly and quite nerdishly so, and commemorating the birthday of Einstein - yes - today seems like a perfect day to commence the rehashing of previously blogged material published under the title of War No More.
Happily sharing a slice with Larry[1], whilst cheering one of Albert's less-scientific quotes, one concerning his sturdy stance on the topic of Peace:
"I am not only a pacifist, but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war, unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." - Albert Einstein, January 1931[2]
Refuse to go to war.
Nothing special, really
- merely sharing the sentiment.
In 1952, Albert Einstein received an offer to become the second president of Israel, yet respectfully declined the proposition [3], stating he liked to study the physical world, but had "neither the natural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings."[4]
When reading these and other expressions spawned by his eloquence, one may only hope today's politicians would dare to share at least a shard of such an open-minded and open-hearted attitude toward setting aside any apparent differences, embracing all similarities and achieving peace between neighbors - all neighbors, near and far, in our global village, our shared little shore under the Sun.
Browse through some more of his poems, quotes, thoughts and words, compiled by Michael Burch, at: www.thehypertexts.com/Einstein_Quotes
Peace to all
who may read these words,
peace to all those who may not.
Peace to all neighbors, near and far,
including those whom I forgot.
who may read these words,
peace to all those who may not.
Peace to all neighbors, near and far,
including those whom I forgot.
Now, .. who wants some Pi ... !?

Attenuating all that Jazz, fading in to a newborn realm called Electro, navigating spacetime on a funkturistic spaceship baptized
Rockit
Apart from bridging the gap between the stars, this spaceship managed to (re)unite generations of black musicians, merging funk, jazz & hip hop. On top of that, before reaching the masses, it taught a whole new generation of white girls & boys - myself included - how to become b-boys & fly girls.
Once again: music connecting cultures.
With the video raising quite as many brows as the amount of ears zapped by the music, even MTV could not resist .. to get down
... and thus became written: history.
