The Flux
-The Chinese movie where they talked of the concept of ‘chi’ in a theatrical way
-Me in university grounds, after winning a race, with a friend who taught me a position of karate, had to hold myself
-Me (again!) in the mess hall studying ‘words’ (morphology) and ‘meaning’, exam the next day (insightfully discovered how shallow my understanding is)
Now these events won’t normally correlate (am I uselessly complicating my narration?) but in my stream of consciousness they are related.
Concepts associated with words like say ‘politics’ may acquire a new depth [after spending a year and few months working in a corporate and after having switched 6 jobs over that period of time, uninfluenced (but not ignorant) by success failure rate/ promotion/appraisal date]
I have been arriving at concepts too quickly … in the movie the kid trying to learn the skill of #martial arts couldn’t reach the depths because he was impatient…I can’t even despise myself for impatience, that would disturb equanimity, would further reduce patience.
While learning, a deconstruction of preexisting concepts may happen, resulting in a flux. A person undergoing this flux would need * solitude (mindful) , immense patience is required to go through this flux where one is left in the air with nothing to hold on to. Greater the patience, speedier the pace of coming out of the flux...ah!
#Sense of urgency (sou) is very different from impatience, sou gives positive energy and is akin/complacent with a cool mind, impatience is misleading, invariably
*Solitude is not physical but mental, one needs to abstain from crowding the mind from things like entertainment (say, a fav. song playting back of ur mind, or a tune!, passion, anger, a preconditioned outcome...u know) physically one just needs a calm place, there may be people around...solitude can be achieved even in a mob
exam in a few hours, need to go back to those books
