DAY 36 - Real Tricky

Believe it or not, I am the Enlightened One . . . !

Breathing is tricky.


You may think it's simple yet when closely examined you see a vast complex universe.


- Hmm!?


Perhaps you already know how your own breathing process operates. At least there are four (4) basic components: 


1. You breathe in . . . .
2. You hold on . . . . 
3. You breathe out . . . .
4. You stop then reverse . . . .


Now the important part is not breathing in or inhaling. You do that naturally. You can't help it. 


It's the breathing out . . . . 


- Why? 


Because you breathe in in order to breathe out. 


- Huh?!


Let's say it again: You br . . . ea . . . the . . . in . . . in-order-to br . . . ea . . . the . . . . ou . . . t.


It's OK to say the reverse. Yup! 


- t . . . . ou . . . . eht . . . . ae . . . . rb . . . . ot-redro-ni . . . . ni . . . . eht . . . . ae . . . . rb . . . . ouY. 


Are you running out of breath now? 


- Take a slurp of breath . . . then breathe out . . . .


Anyway, the tricky part is how you breathe out.


- Yup. There are many doorways to let the breath out. You can breathe out through your:


1. Nose.
2. Mouth.
3. Ears.
4. Skin pores.
5. Or any other essential part of your body. 


Yet that's only pushing the breaths out of your system. 


And here's the trick. While breathing out . . . you're at the same time breathing through . . . . and breathing at . . . . something!


- Pay close attention and see it for yourself. 


While reading this blog, you're in fact breathing at and through your eyes to provide them life-energy to perceive - that is to say, to look and see! 


- Hmm!? Don't you feel the urge to close your eyes and see if that's true?! . . . . . 


                                                       * * *
Are your eyes openned now? 


Alright. Now take your time and slowly follow this. When you shut your eyes, do you see the act of eyes-shutting accompies your breathing in . . . It's like sucking in your eyelids. 


- Yep. Look again and see.


Then when you consciously breathe at you eyeballs from behind, you naturally open them. It's like pushing your eyelids to open. 


This is really tricky!


As mentioned in a previous blog, to push requires breath. Put it another way, to breathe at something means to push it. Thoughts, desires, images, emotions, feelings all move by breaths. Breathing at them pushes them and makes them move.


Disordered or purposeless breaths make thoughts, desires, images, emotions and feelings erratic and even destructive.


- Look and examine.


Yet when you can breathe through them you cleanse them and purify yourself.


Now the point: 


- To move something or anything, you breathe at . . . . them. 
- To cleanse something or anything, you breathe through . . . . them. 
- Then at the end to release them, you breathe out . . . .


Again, this is really tricky. You need a great deal of attentiveness to see all this. And attentiveness needs lots of breaths and that means breathing out . . . now. 


- What about breathing into . . . something? 


Well, that's another animal and we'll tackle it another time or perhaps you want to do it yourself. 


For now just breathe . . . . 

"ZZZ-Zzzz-ZZzzz-hngGGggh-Ppbhww- zZZzzzZZ . . ."

Breathe out . . . now into the heart and soul of Gentle Lifegiving Holy Spirit.


God bless y'all.
