110 / You Are Not
Wolinsky: When there is condensation and then resistance to
the condensation, in the resistance, does it make
this process seem more painful, more solid?
Student: Yes, it’s more tense.
Wolinsky: Intentionally, have the emptiness, and have it
intentionally become more like form, and muddy,
and then have the resistance to it. Take this space
and intentionally do this process of having it
condense down and resist the condensing.
Student: Yes.
Wolinsky: Okay, now do it over there (another part of the
room).
Student: Okay.
Wolinsky: Now do it on the ceiling. Now do it over here.
Now without looking, just have it done behind
your head. Take your attention to all of this and
allow it to disappear. How does this condensing
down and resistance to condensing process seem
now?
Student: The inertia part is gone and there is a little tight
or still a little tension.
Wolinsky: Over here condense down and create this inertia,
this condensing process, and notice how out of
that comes the process of activity (Rajas). That
springs naturally from it. Do that several times,
notice the inertia and how it springs into activity
(Rajas).
Note:
Contained within Tamas (inertia) is activity (Rajas).
They are contained within one another and move into
one another.
