To my fellow ICW members and all beings everywhere.

During my fourth week of focusing my mind strictly on the movements of the body, I entered an observational state that lasted about 2 hours. My painting again shifted to an artistic method rather than the usual precise robotic techniques my auto-pilot would normally supply. I did not initiate this artistic aspect to the experience. Rather it was the result of my successfully engaging the popcorn exercise while painting. Even after the experience faded, I still retain this smoothing of the edges approach while working. Not all the time. But always subtly.

Let me draw your attention to the ICW from last weekend. E.J. stated that the alpha/theta state came as a RESULT of blocking out the beta frequency. Beta frequency being the dominant signal of the thinking mind. From my work with the popcorn exercise and exerting all the brain's attention on the movements of the machine, the ENERGY of the thinking has to be utilized minus the associative/conceptual part. Visual focus is also sacrificed when diverting the brains energy and so is thought. And what every tourist of the latest alpha brainwave craze certainly knows is this, that when your eyes are not focused or when your eyesight is equally diffused , there is a marked increase in the generation of alpha waves.

This last weekend workshop was fabulous. Explaination of spirit radio, stumbling upon a theta generator and a brilliant summing up of what this whole business boils down to.

Would welcome all comments, questions or suggestions.
