TEXT
in the middle of the dot.
Let's imagine that we are performing all the time, and this could actually be true. And that we are never alone. There is a dot that is always present. ( there is something that is always present. a presence that is not divisible. it can only be multiplicated, but it would not do that.it just is.it could be anywhere around you. you don't have to see it. it is there anyway. you can also imagine that you can stand upon. A dot is really a dot that you imagine outside yourself. A point. The point. And is not your consciousness or some other exterior eye that is watching you. It is a point. And it is important to imagine it just like a point. The simplest sign that exists and you can imagine. The point has autonomy. And it is a neutral presence.
The DOT has endless functionalities. As much as your imagination can commit. The sensation that you are being watched is real. Is happening. All the time. A comfortable presence that is never leaving. Or get lost. A point that you can hang on. Like a pet that you can always take with you, you don't have to take care of it and it doesn't bother anyone. A presence that is always present and pleasant.
It is always with you. What could it be. How does it react in different situations? The dot is the starting point. For anything. Everything starts with a dot. When you draw something you are always starting with a dot. You can draw anything after the dot happens. The condition is to keep on drawing, to have a continuous line. Otherwise there will be more than one dot. Your attention is focusing only to one dot. You don 't have to look after it. It is just present anywhere around you.
The dot is the particle. The particle of everything. It is outside you but inside the space you are in. You are both in the same space, but separated. You can never touch it. It is an extension of you orientated toward you. You are connected. I mean, you don't need somebody or something else. The dot is always with you as long as you imagine it. And if you don't imagine, doesn't mean it is not there. What is happening with the dot when you are meeting somebody or when you are performing? ( not performing for the dot, of course)
It is also about focus and focusing. If you make a visualization of the dot you can experience a sudden presence of your body into the space. Your awareness is changing. Becomes stronger and detached. The dot is existing because you give him materiality. It is not your mind or consciousness. It could be your mind outside your mind, but I am not sure. Instead of explaining it is better to imagine it. Even if you are not in the same place, you still are in the same space, because the space is defined by the connection between you and the dot.
I read somewhere that if you enter the dot there is a hole in the middle. and there you can get lost. in the middle of the dot. The space that is gazing (@) you. The act and geometry of watching and being watched.
