The Peaceful Persona - Gifts

When I think of the Peaceful Persona I envision someone and her/his body and mind in a state of homeostasis with the environment around her/him and by the environment I am referring to all forms of animate and inanimate items, to animals and to people.

This homeostasis of the body often happens when the physical body appears to be very still (such as the typical photos of meditative yogis) but is actually when the physical body is VERY open to the environment.

The gift of achieving homeostasis with the environment around us is that we no longer feel as if we are separate from the world around us. We feel that we are one with it. This is a very great gift as it is very difficult to feel negative energies toward ourselves our others when we are in a state of natural oneness with everything around us.

In the book "Power vs. Force" peace is also the state in which the mind becomes completely quiet. I will be honest in that I do not think I have ever achieved this state in my lifetime (at least not for more than a few moments) but I do have a theory that moving toward this state involves sensuality or the sensual persona or in other words basically involves using the physical body as a tool to transcend the business of the mind.

[[[SINCE IT CAN TAKE SOME AMOUNT OF TIME TO ACTUALLY ACHIEVE THE STATE OF THE PEACEFUL PERSONA AND IF I DID IT I WOULD BASICALLY CEASE TO FEEL MYSELF AS AN INDIVIDUAL LET'S TRY AND ACTIVITY THAT WILL GET US PART OF THE WAY THERE. LET'S TRY AND ACHIEVE A TYPE OF HOMEOSTASIS WITH AN OBJECT SUCH AS A WELL OR A CHAIR. PLACE YOUR FEET ON THE CHAIR AND BEGIN TO BREATHE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BREATH....JUST MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF RELAXATION.....WE'LL DO A TYPICAL RELAXATION EXERCISE BY MOVING THROUGH THE BODY AND FLEXING AND RELEASING EACH OF OUR BODY PARTS AND THEN COME BACK TO THE FEET ON THE CHAIR OR UP AGAINST A WALL OR EVEN DO THIS WITH YOUR BODY ON THE FLOOR. FEEL YOUR SKIN...BECOME AWARE OF IT AS THE ORGAN THAT BREATHES AND OPENS JUST AS YOUR MOUTH BREATHES AND OPENS. BEGIN TO ENVISION THE SKIN'S PORES DILATING AND OPENING AS YOUR NOSE DILATES TO OPEN AND ACCEPT AIR. NOW FEEL THAT THE CHAIR OR WALL IS ALSO BREATHING IN IT'S OWN WAY AND CONTAINS IT'S OWN LIGHT AND LIFE. NOW FEEL YOURSELF BREATHING WITH THE CHAIR OR THE FLOOR TOGETHER IN HARMONY. HARMONIZE WITH THE OBJECT IF YOU CAN AND OPEN FURTHER....FEEL YOURSELF HARMONIZE UNTIL A PORTION OF YOUR BODY SEEMS TO INTEGRATE COMPLETELY WITH THE OBJECT ITSELF. TAKE THIS ACTIVITY TO NEW LEVELS
