Becoming the Archetype: It is a method that focuses on not being dissatisfied; dissatisfaction implies yearning, which implies having an archetype. This is an attempt to get rid of the unreachable archetype by being what I am, flaws and everything, the point is to check myself whenever I begin to yearn, but not blame myself when I fail, but accept my failure, as if it was the archetype.
Whenever I move, my world becomes smaller. It’s the effect of responding to temptation; the more you respond to exclusivity, the more exclusive you become. Swatting away bugs, scratching itches, the twitches of the eye, the thinking from one thought to another, the shifts of focus… they are all responses to temptation, they are all rejection of the present state. That is why, one learns by focusing on their breathing, and nothing more. By doing this they expand, by accepting their world they see more of it; so now they do not have to look behind themselves to know what is there.
When practicing this, I always ask myself, “If I am not suppose to move or think (because it would mean I am responding to temptation) then when do I move and how does one think?” The answer to this is: you move when the option of moving does not lure you away from where you are any longer; you move when movement is no longer inspired by temptation. You move when moving no longer costs you the focus that you had on your breathing.
