Awareness Through Movement #533

On the stomach, face to the knee - IMAGINATION

Moshe has some quite interesting quotes in this lesson:

“you might not know what you are doing;
and then,

your misery will be exactly like it has been up to now.”

“Slowly... many times,
until everything mixes together harmoniously into one human movement,

not an idiotic one

that goes here, there, and somewhere else…
the hand does not know what the head is doing
and the head does not know what the knee is doing.”

and this:

“What difficulty it is to teach people!
They always must do a trick.

They are not interested in how they do it.

And, in life, in the creativity of a person,
with his intellect, with his heart,
with the understanding in the heart and the wisdom in the intellect,
it is not what you do,
but how you do it.

To write a book is something idiotic.
You can fill it with whatever you want.
But, to write a book that will be better than Tolstoy for instance, this is wisdom.

The how!

To paint - everyone can dirty a paper or canvas with colors.
But, how to paint - that is different.
The difference between one painter and another is the "how"...
between one writer and another is the "how"...
between one engineer and the other is the "how"...
between one woman and the other is the "how"...
between one man and the other is the "how"

...not the "what."
There are small ones, big ones, and idiots.
They are all successful.
Just the "how" is important, nothing else is important; just the "how."
Therefore, learn how to do and not what to do.
The "what" will come by itself.
Whoever knows how to jump,
it does not matter if he jumps over a chair, over a rope, over a fence, or over something.
If he knows how to jump, the "what" is not important.

He also is able not to jump.

Nevertheless, he knows how to jump.
It seems what we are saying is very stupid.”
