Awakening Practices from PRACTICAL WORK ON SELF, "Sensing", Part Two

In this episode, THE THREE-HEADED MAN'S discussion centers on the metaphysical experience of sensing and how it differs from ordinary thought or physical feeling.

Their conversation begins with observations about a temporary second moon orbiting Earth, leading the speakers to wonder if its electromagnetic fields can be physically perceived as ringing or buzzing. This inquiry evolves into a broader exploration of conscious attention, specifically the practice of drinking water with total focus to bridge the gap between the physical and ethereal bodies. Participants contrast the "squishy" nature of sensing with the more concrete organic tensions created by disrupting one’s daily choreography and habits. They conclude that true sensing requires fixating one’s whole attention on a sensation until the thinking mind becomes secondary to the immediate experience.

Ultimately, they emphasize that presence and openness are necessary to perceive subtle energies and vibrations that usually go unnoticed in a state of distraction.

I like to do. I like to make things. And, I like telling stories. I tell stories to myself and to others.

First, a short biography, which is, of course, is a story. I was born in Cleveland, played sports, and attended university. Later, after a few years in the radio business, I returned to university to study education and literature.

With a teaching certificate in my file folder, I began working in high schools, first as a strike-breaking scab substitute teacher in Cleveland's far suburbs, and then in Chicago, mostly in private high schools.

Cleveland and Chicago. My two main towns, and I escaped them both. Presently, I live in a tiny, isolated, mountain village in Spain. I am reluctant to write the name of the town because I don't like tourists. When the tourists arrive, they look at me as if I am an animal in a zoo.
