CYCLING IMAGES


there are many ways

to cycle one's images

playful practice key


cyclying images is part of a healing method called the Bengston method named after William Bengston and his many experiments of healing mice with cancer published in peer review journals (he also heals and has taught others to heal people, but these are anecdotal cases since it would be unethical to put people into randomized clinical controls for healing or not). The cycling part of the method involves listing 20+ personal selfish desires/wishes, providing an image or word for each, and then cycling thorough them, building up speed until they blur together into a feeling...for practice, one can place the images on a film strip, the hand positions of a clock, an old fashioned rolodex, a powerpoint slide presentation, or a spinning paper plate (i've tried all of them).


if interested in this healing method, obtain Bengston's set of audio training cd's from Sounds True and try out the method for yourself...i haven't had much success, but i haven't figured out a good way to test the method and i gave up after only a month of trying, so i plan to revisit the method this summer and try again...he said it takes time to develop the hang of it, and one must be playful about it (something that doesn't come easy for me).

1 DOT starting with 1 dot coalesing they unite swirling in the 1 two senses of "1" are represented in the image...the 1 dot at the far left (the beginning, the one that starts it all...one idea, one person, one big bang) and the 1 at the far right (the end, the culmination, the combination of many 1's, the unification of the many into 1)...how is it that from the 1 comes the many...as a Taoist saying (paraphrased) expresses it...from the 1 come the 10,000 things. practice...take care what starting point (thought, belief, motivation) you begin with in any undertaking f or in it contains the seeds of everything else that follows...reflect on where your thoughts originate...work backwards, for fun, from the action to the seed thought that led to the action...try this backward investigation for several actions and several thoughts, and see if they lead back to the 1...this 1 has a powerful influence in your life.

2 CIRCLES from the 2 circles touching and overlapping reality births from the 2 comes the many, from male and female comes new life, from thesis and antithesis comes synthesis...the touching and overlap seems to facilitate new birth(s) at the intersection of the circles, the vortex, the vesica piscis, the mandorla (almond), the portal of new life... consider 2  vital ideas/parts of yourself...meditate on how the parts/ideas overlap, interrelate, connect...open...look/sense the portal of new life emerging...what implications does this have for being and doing?

FLOATING TRIANGLES floating triangles surrounded by colored dots revealing the face dots create lines that make up triangles, that make up the star in the center of which is a face...our face, their face, nature's face, G's face...all are there hiding at center...distracted by the colorful dots and triangles of life, sometimes it's hard to catch a glimpse of the face at the center, to be aware of the awareness that makes it possible to see the face, to contemplate the face of all faces. how many triangles are in your life... people, issues, challenges, problems, things you need to do, beliefs, habits, titles, roles, beauties, things...STOP the outward gaze and look inward to see your own face in meditation...contemplate the face...see others in your face, nature in your face, the universe in your face, G in your face...
