Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Hiya An enfolding Dance A dance comes into existence because a dancer is dancing. A dancer is a dancer because a dance is getting enacted. Where does the dance start and the dancer end? Where does the dancer start and the dance end? Where is the separation between the two, the dance and the dancer? Now in a normal dance, the depiction of the story through the dance, the myriad relationships and the gamut of emotions, in these relationships and the various events interwoven into the story being enacted out through the medium of dance, suggests a limitation, a staticity. There is a script and even though there might be a myriad of complexities, all these nuances are still bound within the limitations of the script. Imagine , by a wave of the hand, hey presto, there appears an illusion and the script is not visible. And the "manifestations", the characters both so called animate and inanimate, within the dance, forget and AS IF they themselves are dancers in their own right following AS IF they have "free will" . And thereby enact their own little dance-drama, thinking they drive the particular drama. But each individual dance-drama is nothing but a tile in the mosaic of the dance-drama of Totality. Just like fractals, where the structure of ingredient constituents, mirrors, the structure of the whole. And hence an infinite complexity of fractals dancing away, fractals within fractals, within fractals, interwoven, interrelated, interconnected eternal movements. In an awesome harmony, like a net of jewels, each being the reflection of the other. Imagine the billions and zillions of movements, as a play,a Leela. And that, in essence there is no movement. Paradox? Look at a rock. Within it, at the ionic levels of quarks and bosons, there are billions of movements taking place by these "particles". At the consciousness of that "particle" if you proposed that despite all the hoopla, nothing is moving, the "particle" would laugh at you, maybe even stone you to death for blasphemy or hand you a wooden cross. And yet at the level of consciousness of a rock, nothing really moves, even though this level of consciousness is "made up" of zillions of movements. It is the very "pattern" of these zillion movements which lend the "no-movement solidity" to the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Yes. Paramhansas flying over a lake, ; they cast a reflection on the waters; that they have no awareness of; and the lake has no attachment to. - sivadancer <sivadancer Tuesday, January 28, 2003 11:51 PM Re: An enfolding Dance YES!!! I once thought that someone should build a statue of Shiva Nataraja that moves and perhaps goes through all his 108 poses... But no, the image is perfect as it is. It captures the essence of what you are saying: The wild dancer creating, preserving and destrying universes, yet completely still, a serene, smiling countenance on his lotus face. AUM namaH shivAya (P.S. I still do think a moving Nataraja statue would be a great business venture for all you inventors out there (if it hasn't been done already! {8^D))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
