Five sessions of five minutes of silence:Jan,11th,2005
01/11/2005 03:28 p.m.
Five sessions of five minutes of silence was my resolution. Silence internally was more important than the silence without.
The first session began at 11.37, when I went for my shave and hair cut (and don’t laugh, I do cut my own hairs) to my dressing room, followed by a shower, secured from the out side world, locked inside my dressing room and bathroom. This five minutes session ended at 4PM after a short nap. Ha! Ha!
The only realization worth mentioning is that it’s easy to BE and to not to resist those associations which carries you away. It’s easy to SEE than consuming what ever little energies our intending self has on this battle for the control and lose the battle and be lost in the nonexistent time.
Initially I tried to struggle and failed. Later when I decided to not to struggle but just concentrate in BEING and SEEING, alert and sensing my body all the time, I did succeed since as I always experience, I did experience those energy fields undulating to and fro my skull giving me a feeling of peace and beauty.
Later I drifted into an intended dream, partly, visiting a dear friend in America and woke up at 4PM.
I don’t know which of these 163 minutes I will recognize as five minutes of silence. Besides as I know time expands in these moment and we tend to experience one minute as an hour. Nor do I know if I would find time for keeping up with my resolve of five sessions of five minutes in the allotted 1440 minutes i.e., 24 hours.
