Is
what I say
This is a mantra, repeated over and over as you do Richard's Three Step. The Mantra deals with the links between the
language mind, our deeper emotional self, our actions, and our physical state. And lots
more.
It goes round and around:
is what I say is what I feel is what I do is what
I am
Mix up the sequence of
the phrases any way you like, and think about
how the connections and meanings change
when you alter the sequence. Alter the stress,
too, coming down hard on am or do or feel
or say, and think about how the meaning changes.
Like all mantras, you are supposed to focus
on the meaning of the words when thinking
them. When you think the word "say" you think about speaking, the things you say.
And so on. It will help if you have gone cruising
in This Magic Sea, investigating such things
as consciousness,
mind,
and related ideas.
Each phrase takes three steps (one inhalation or exhalation).
If you are alone, try saying this one out loud and listening to
yourself. Have your observer oversee your activity to report on
the various feelings associated with these phrases.
If, after doing this for 10 or 15 minutes, you feel you have
"lost the thread" challenge your brain by linking the words with the Yin Yang exercise. Link the Yang with outward phrases (say, do) and
Yin with the inward phrases (feel, am). Focus on saying the words and overlaying them with
yin and yang while keeping step. Follow the associations that come with the polarization
of the control systems.
