Newbody

 The human body is the frontier of knowledge, and the black hole of science. The human body represents the state of the art in magic, the alchemical vessel of transformation. It is almost an indulgence , a playfulness , a gratuitous tour-de-force of creation.

 The weaving, the child of spirit and matter, mother and father , a transcendental nexus where consciousness becomes self-reflective and organising , capable of experiencing intense and diverse states of being and becoming, capable of generating endless novel patterns of meaning, beauty and coherency, capable of imagining evolution, and thus able to participate in the act of cosmic co-creation. The human body is learning about itself, its pain and its pleasure, its limits, self-imposed and otherwise, its potential as a transformer of energy and an interface; hence it is becoming capable of realising the significant presence of an other, and able to really meet and be with that other in grace .

  That other is becoming increasingly real as its true face gradually manifests itself as the new human body, the new consciousness, emerging from its coccoon in the midst of great pain, great ecstacy, great love.

 Humanity's religions and mysticisms can be seen as endeavours driven by the urge to manifest this body, this god/goddess, this vessel, this Great Work. Most of our activities can be seen as attempts to explore what we are capable of , manipulations of the power we possess and are posessed by. In this, humanity as a whole can be seen to be in an early adolescent phase where individuation and indulgence in self-gratification are still in progress and often the dominant processes at work. Self-destructive tendencies are also prominent, when the individual is faced with failure and incomprehensible restriction.

 There is great tearing pain and violent resistance from the patterns that form the coccoon of the new body . Within these patterns that have rigidified to the point of brittleness are expressed the dead-end dynamics of fear , hatred, hiding, greed, grasping, abuse of power over others, isolation and all the traits that are known to lead to damage or a cessation of life and love/evolution. The resistance and confrontation offered by this coccon and its matrix of magic serves to streamline and strengthen the new body prior to its emergence , to clarify its focus and intent and complete its understanding of itself and its power. This is essential for the new body to be able to withstand, resonate with , and co-create in, the much more intense and multi-dimensional flows of energy and states of being/becoming that the contact with the other, the fulfillment of our love, involves.

  The human voice is a way to turn the body into a divine instrument of great inspiration and lyricism, as is the whole body itself in the multitude of moods  and atittudes that can be expressed and communicated by movement and gesture. The mastery of communication necessitates the mastery of voice and movement in a whole body-mind-soul state of being. A tuning of the various strings , membranes and blown instruments that are inherent in the body facilitates effective and efficient communication. This tuning is to the keys of truth, love and spirit that are also inherent in the body and are the forces that inform its survival and evolution .

 The true expansion of cosnciousness involves an expansion into this new human body that lives in a mutidimensional psychedelic state . "Psychedelic" etymologically implies the manifestation of the psyche. "Psyche" is greek for soul, which most of us understand as our innermost being. Once we know our innermost being we may truly know communion with another .
