I am Kylie Lundahl and these are my associates, Nyei Murez and Reni Murez.
This is volume three of a series of video cassettes on what we call
Tensegrity. Which is to us an art, the art of utilizing in a modern
setting some magical passes discovered and developed by seers who
lived in Mexico in ancient times. The performance of the magical
passes was and still is the means to allow our consciousness to focus
on the binding force that consolidates the different component energy
fields of a human being into a concrete and definite unit. Modern man
has found out through the research of scientists, that there is a
binding force that holds together the component elements of an atom.
By the same token, the component elements of cells are held together
by a similar force and are driven to combine themselves into tissues
and organs. The seers who lived in Mexico in ancient times believed
that human beings taken as conglomerates of energy fields are held
together by some energy, some force, some power, that cements those
energy fields into one single energetic unit. Those seers taught from
generation to generation up to the present day that enhanced awareness
is the end result of canceling out our system of interpreting energy
as sensory data. This system, which is taught to us from the moment
we are born up to the time that we become experts in handling it,
gives us as a consequence the coherent perception of the world we
know. To cancel it out means that we can perceive energy directly as
it flows in the universe instead of interpreting it as sensory data.
An outcome of seeing energy directly as it flows in the universe is
the perception of a human being as a luminous sphere, that is to say,
as a conglomerate of energy fields held together as a luminous ball.
The interest of those seers of antiquity was the pragmatic utilization
of whatever force is holding the luminous sphere together. They said
that the sphere was not held together by wrappings or energetic
bindings, but by some sort of vibration that rendered everything at
once alive and in place. Their obsession to find out the nature of
that vibratory force was tinted by their concreteness that made them
want to hold and control it. Modern day practitioners of the art of
those seers of antiquity have found out that it is not possible to be
concrete and utilitarian about that vibratory force. They have opted
for the only rational thing that one can do, merely to become
conscious of that force with no other purpose in sight except the
elegance and well being brought about by knowledge.
The movements that we are going to present are an orderly sample of
attempts made by seers of ancient times to catch a glimpse from a
different angle of the force that binds us together. We have
reinterpreted their maneuver. In basing ourselves on the modern day
taxonomy of the animal kingdom, we have concluded that those seers
attempted to leave the phylum Chordata, to which human beings belong,
and enter into the phylum Arthropoda.
Pass #1: Opening Oneself To Intent
This is a basic magical pass which has been altered minimally for
presentation. It is called "Opening Oneself To Intent" because that is
what is literally accomplished with this pass. The idea of seers is
that intent is a perennial force that exists in the universe like
gravity or electromagnetism and that this force obeys the
solicitations of man if they are made with determination and
persistence. The cognitive mood of those seers of ancient Mexico seems
to have preceded the agricultural revolution and the advent of
supplicants. To propitiate deities in order to seek help was not part
of their cognitive system. For them, the only possible approach was to
order intent, to tell it what to do. Their artistry however, was to
voice their orders with the appropriate force but without any
arrogance. The solicitation to intent in this case is to allow us to
cross out of our phylum.
This magical pass involves the motion of the upper trunk and the arms
and the motion of breath. It symbolizes the incorporation of forces
external to oneself by making an overt gesture of beckoning them and
by intaking the response through one's breath. It begins with the
movement of the left arm to right shoulder and quick inhalation,
filling the upper lungs with air to serve as a source of immediate
energy. It is followed almost immediately by a gesture of the right
arm that extends forward - a symbol of offering oneself to the
surrounding forces. Then a sharp exhalation and a movement of the left
arm using the right arm as a launching pad to shoot one's energy out
into infinity. Observe that the left shoulder must be moved forward as
far out as possible, a movement that renders the upper trunk almost in
profile. The left arm is retracted again, using the right as a runner
while one takes a deep breath. The left hand returns to the right
shoulder and from there it extends forward in an arc keeping the left
shoulder as far out as possible. The right arm follows the left arm
drawing a similar arc and this facet of the magical pass ends with the
shoulders extended as far forward as possible and the back arched to
compensate the forward movement of the shoulders. The palms are up and
the thumbs are retracted, resting on the middle of the palms. Then the
word "intent" is voiced. A very deep breath is taken as the arms are
pulled sharply to the sides until the fingertips touch the rib cage. A
deep exhalation is made, helped by turning the palms down and pushing
downward with the thumbs in a natural position. The fingers are held
together with the little finger separated from the rest.
Pass #2: Pouring Intent Into Two Pouches Of The Body
The seers of ancient Mexico believed that human beings have three
energetic pouches. One is over the liver and gallbladder, another is
over the pancreas and spleen and the third one is over the kidneys and
adrenals. These three pouches serve as reservoirs of energy. The pouch
to the right, over the liver, they believe to be the center of quick,
immediate action. The pouch to the left, over the pancreas, was
considered the center of feeling, and the third, the one over the
kidneys and adrenals, was thought to be the center of sustained and
purposeful action. After beckoning intent, the next logical step,
according to the seers of antiquity, was to fill the two frontal
pouches of the human body as a conglomerate of energy fields. Hence
the name of the second magical pass, "Pouring Intent Into Two Pouches
Of The Body". Their consideration was that intent must precede
anything that we do. In order to cross out of our phylum, we must
first set up the intent to do so, by pouring intent on the two pouches
for feeling and immediate action.
This pass begins by a tap on the floor with the ball of the left foot.
The left leg is extended maximally to the front. The whole leg
retracts to be parallel with the right leg, then the heel is tapped
sharply on the floor, while the tip of the foot is extended fully
upward. Two heel taps follow, one with the left foot, combined with a
hop and the other with the right. At the end of this movement, the
tips of both feet are pulled up and back, the tips of the feet come
down and the hands go sharply to the hips in order to brace the spine
and neck for a sharp turn of only the head to the left. Both hands
move sharply from being draped over the hips to cover the areas of
liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen. The left hand is pulled
backward all the way and it moves in a very broad circle from the
extreme left to the extreme right, turns around the body and then fits
again over the pancreas/spleen as if a knife is returned to it's
sheath. Then the right arm is pulled just like the left one, all the
way backwards, and makes a sweep from the extreme right to the extreme
left around the body. The hand again is placed over the
liver/gallbladder area, as if another knife has been inserted in it's
sheath. The eyes are kept fixed on the left side, piercing into
infinity. The eyes are moved to the front, again piercing infinity.
The left arm is pulled backwards, as if pulling an invisible knife and
another arc is drawn from the extreme left forward to the front,
returning the knife to it's sheath. The right arm repeats the same
pattern. When the two invisible knives are inside their covers, the
hands are dropped to the sides then the right leg is extended
maximally to the front. It taps the ground with the ball of the foot,
retracts back to be level with the left leg, taps the floor with the
heel once, taps it again combined with a hop and then a tap of the
left heel. The hands are again draped over the hips to brace the neck
and spine for a quick turn to the right. The next movement is to take
a couple of steps as if walking away.
Seers believe that energy dispersed to the right side of the luminous
egg is not of any value for purposes of traveling out of our phylum.
Pass #3: Breaking The Alignment Of The Left And Right Bodies
Seers proceed with this pass which is called "Breaking The Alignment
Of The Left And Right Bodies", guided by their certainty that the
universe is composed of twin forces in action. They believe that the
human body is actually two bodies put together into one, the right and
the left, and what modern biologists call bilateral symmetry is not
quite symmetrical. Seers say that the left body always lags behind
the right one and this anomaly when the body is perceived as fields of
energy gives the impression that the left side of the luminous sphere
is somehow opaque, fading. It's roundness doesn't seem complete. It
seems to droop. To break the alignment purposefully gives a jolt of
energy to the lagging left side. This maneuver, according to seers, is
one of the most important of the magical passes because it prepares
the two bodies for the tremendous jolt of going from one phylum to
another even though it is a momentary, fleeting experience.
This pass begins with a quick movement of the left forearm making an
"L" shape in relation to the rest of the body as the right hand shoots
backwards to aid the force of the lifting arm. Then the left arm moves
back with the hand open, as far back as the shoulder articulation will
allow it, while the right forearm in a slap-like movement follows the
left arm in order to balance it. All the weight of the body is
transferred to the right leg. The left leg and the left arm move in
front of the body - the leg by taking a dislocated step and the arm by
making a slap-like motion to the center of the body. This movement
ends by the left foot pointing forward as if kicking at the same time
that the hand also points forward with joined fingers and the word
"intent" is voiced. The same movements are executed with the right
leg and the right arm.
Pass #4: Realigning The Left And Right Bodies
We have now been told that seers of antiquity used these two passes
which are called "Breaking The Alignment Of The Left And Right Bodies"
and "Realigning The Left And Right Bodies" as two consecutive units.
Since their idea was that human beings are composed of two different
bodies that interact with each other in the most symbiotic of
relationships, the final result of breaking the alignment of the left
and right bodies and realigning them again is the creation of a new
being. We were taught that this pass fixes or solidifies the new state
of alignment of left body, thereby permitting a successful performance
of the crowning accomplishment of the seers of antiquity - traveling
across the boundary of the phylum of human beings.
This pass starts with a light kick of the right foot in front of the
body just for impulse, followed by a hop and a harder kick of the left
foot. It's a case of shifting the balance from the left leg to the
right leg in a quick succession. At the same time that the left leg is
retrieved to its normal position, the left hand shoots in a straight
up position and a deep inhalation is taken. The thumb holds the last
two fingers curled to the palm while the index and middle fingers
remain extended upwards and opened in a "V" shape. The palm of the
hand faces to the right. Still holding the breath, the right calf is
lifted and the ankle comes to rest above the left knee while the right
hand, held in the same position as the left, makes an arc and comes to
rest on the "V" shape made by the index and middle finger of the left
hand. The palm of the right hand faces outward, the fingertips of the
left hand are held at the level of the forehead. The left and right
arms frame the face. At this point, the word "intent" is voiced. The
same movements are repeated with the other side.
Pass #5: Stabbing Energy In Search Of A New Position Of The Assemblage Point
The seers of ancient Mexico found out that in the luminous ball of
energy there is a point of even more intense luminosity located behind
the shoulder blades at an arm's distance. They knew that perception is
assembled there, hence the name "assemblage point". Seers see that
billions of energy fields in the form of luminous filaments coming
from the Universe at large, every which way, converge on that point
creating the perception of the world we know. Seers believe that the
assemblage point is indeed not only where perception is assembled, but
where energy is interpreted. They do not believe that it is the mind
of man that interprets energy but that the assemblage point in its
capacity of interpreter engages the totality of the human body to
interpret energy. Seers also knew that the position of the assemblage
point is common to all mankind, but that it is arbitrary and that that
position can shift. When it shifts to another location anywhere along
the periphery or the interior of that luminous sphere, another set of
billions of energy fields in the form of filaments converge on that
new spot forcing the assemblage point to assemble the perception and
interpretation of a new world immensely different than the world of
daily affairs.
The first movement of this pass is a forceful jump forward with the
left foot. The hands are held with the index finger supported by the
thumb and protruding out. The other three fingers are folded against
the palm. A forceful inward stab of the two index fingers is made in
front of the umbilical region and then in front of the chest,
maintaining a minimum of two inches at all times between the index
finger of each hand. The elbows are kept pointing to the ground. The
body bends forward slightly, the whole foot is flat and there is a
stab one time behind the left thigh. Then there is a forceful
step-jump to the front with the right foot. The body stoops to stab
one time behind the right thigh. The two feet are then aligned and
there is a stab behind the thighs with the legs held in a sitting
position. From there the left hand moves out to make a circle, the
right arm does the same, the body is held erect. After completing a
circle, the left hand shoots out to the front pointing the index to
the horizon at the chest level. The right index is placed instantly
at the place where the deltoid muscle is inserted into the bones of
the shoulder. The index finger of the left hand stabs forward
forcefully one time. Two other circles are drawn in front of the body
and the movement is repeated, ending with the right arm pointing
outward and left index pressing the right shoulder. Another stab
forward is made with the right index finger. Two more circles are
drawn, one with each hand beginning with the right arm, and the left
index is thrust to the zenith. Then it stabs one time to the zenith
and one time to the right. Another two circles are drawn and the same
movements are repeated with the right hand.
Both hands come down and stab inward once in front of the solar
plexus, and another time closer to the solar plexus and a third time
almost touching it. Then there are three inward stabs to the back,
each moving further away from the body like a mirror image of the
preceding stabs. From the back, the arms are brought over the head to
the sides, each arm held at a 45 degree angle from the body. Two more
stabs follow, drawing a letter "B" ending close to the groin. The
fingers are pointing down this time. The left leg is raised with a
bent knee and one stab is executed right in front of the knee and
another stab right behind it. The same movements are done with the
right leg. Two ascending circles are drawn until the arms are over
the head. The back is rounded to permit the sliding of the assemblage
point. The upper trunk moves to dislodge it all the way to the ground
where it is quickly picked up by the two index fingers, the hamstrings
kept as tight as possible. After it is picked up, the body
straightens and the assemblage point is drawn upward to the solar
plexus where is pushed in and secured with a vibratory movement of the
index fingers. A deep inhalation is taken then with the hands rotating
forward, and then an exhalation is made as the hands come down to the
sides of the body.
Pass #6: Preparing To Cross Over
This magical pass, "Preparing To Cross Over" is very complex and it
pertains to calling our dispersed energy to come and rally around a
new possibility. Far-fetched as it may seem, but the more exciting
considering its impossibility, the possibility of entering into a new
phylum. Seers of antiquity realized that the way in which we perceive
the world was by interpreting the impulses of energy at large. This
act of interpretation is taught to us from the moment we are born. It
becomes so ingrained in us that we lose sight of the fact that it is
an arbitrary system of interpretation. Those seers' idea was that if
we had sufficient energy, we could not only cancel out our system of
interpretation but we might even be able to enter into other systems.
We were taught that with this pass, it is possible to accumulate
enough energy by summoning it from the body itself in order to break
the energetic boundaries that separate what modern man considers to be
the basic divisions of the animal kingdom.
This pass begins with the slow and rhythmical contraction of the five
fingers over the palms of both hands while the palms are held upward
to a count of three, then the hands are turned quickly downwards and
they scratch to a count of three. The body squats in three different
degrees of acuteness until the hands are touching the ground in front
of the body while the fingers scratch the surface, again to a count of
three. The body straightens and then the thumb and the first two
fingers are held like claws over the palms and they are contracted
rhythmically to the count of three. The hands are turned over to face
the ground and the fingers are contracted again to a count of three.
Then the body stoops in three stages until the hands reach the ground
again and the three fingers move on the ground's surface to the count
of three. Next, both hands in the three finger prong grab the left
part of the left thigh, above the knee with the left hand below the
right one. They gnaw at the muscles of the left thigh, the muscles of
the waist and the muscles of the ribs until the hand reaches the union
of the deltoid muscles and the left pectoral. Then they make a round
half circle or crescent under the left breast with the left hand
leading until the right hand reaches the area below the left breast at
which time it changes to a point in front of of the left hand and
leads the motion of the two hands which gnaw at the pectoral muscles
until the thumb of the left hand reaches the left axilla. The right
hand keeps on moving, gnawing at the trapezius muscle over the left
shoulder. Then the whole sequence of movements are repeated with the
right side of the body.
Then the hands grab the outside of the calves at the level of the
ankles and gnaw the muscles to the upper part of the knees. They go
across, above the knees to the inner side of the calves. They gnaw
their way back to the ankles, they come around the front of the ankles
to the back of the calves and gnaw up the back of the calves to the
thigh, then to the buttocks and they end up on the area of the
kidneys. The left hand moves then over the right shoulder to rest in
the three prong position and gnaw the muscles over the right shoulder
blade. It goes back to the area of the left adrenals and kidneys while
the right hand draws another circle in front of the face to rest and
gnaw on the area of the left shoulder blade. From there, the two hands
clamp on the inner thigh above the knees and gnaw their way up to the
genitals, over the bladder and intestines to end on the area of the
navel. The fingers gnaw that area for 3 counts. Then the movement ends
by opening the arms, palms facing the front and bringing them to the
sides of the body.
Pass #7: The Butterfly
The concept that prompted us to select this magical pass for
presentation was expressed by the seers of antiquity when they
declared that what binds the nerves of man is something they called
the "substance of mankind". We believe that they were referring to
viruses because they spoke of that substance as being alive and
capable of quick changes. Seers asserted that the virtue of the
substance of mankind was that it changed with tremendous speed. Modern
man has found out beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the only constant
truth about viruses is that they change with tremendous speed. Those
seers of antiquity counted on that speed of mutation in order to
elicit in themselves, drastic behavioral changes. They related such
changes to the introduction into their nervous systems of substances
that belonged to different types of life. They didn't do this through
inoculation, but through intending. From this, we have been led to
assume that they believed that the substance that composes the
synapses of nerves might be made out of what modern man calls viruses.
They claim that all they needed was a tenuous insinuation of a
different substance, as if intending it brings the advent of the
substance itself and that the resulting mutation in the entire body is
only a matter of time. The seers of ancient Mexico sought avidly the
advent of this mutation. They were driven by the certainty that any
purposeful change whatsoever in what modern man would call the viral
context of the body gives as a result, a much sturdier, more
intelligent, determined, human being. Those seers of ancient Mexico
were the living proof of that sturdiness. By performing "The
Butterfly" magical pass, modern seers, inheritors of the knowledge of
those seers of antiquity, believe that for an instant a new viral
possibility presents itself to the body, if not to change it, at least
to allow the effect of noxious viruses to be contained or the viruses
themselves to be driven away. All the magical passes performed up to
this one have been preparatory. They have served to buttress the body
for crossing into another phylum. Seers of ancient Mexico believed
that the total effect of this crossing was manifold. Each of those
effects was considered more than a justification for it's performance.
The seers of antiquity never talked about this magical pass in terms
of a total transformation. They described the results of this pass as
the human capability of sending a beam of awareness into other forms
of life. Their grand accomplishment was that that beam engaged the
totality of their available awareness so they were absolutely
conscious of the perceptual conditions of other forms of life, without
actually becoming those other forms of life; therefore, the overt
reason for this magical pass is to allow human beings the possibility
of a fleeting awareness, of which they may not necessarily be
conscious, of the binding force that joins the butterfly together, the
same force that acts on human beings.
The first facet of this magical pass is to bring the arms, palms
facing up, very gently to the front of the body and then align the
elbows with the rest of the body with a forceful tug. An inhalation is
made by bringing the arms backwards fully extended and leaning the
trunk forward. An exhalation follows as the hands turn forcefully and
make the palms face each other while they are held behind the back in
flight position. It must be pointed out that the adrenals are the
pivoting point for the trunk to jut forward. The eyes are kept down
and then a very deep inhalation is taken as both arms come to the
front like two wings. The eyes follow the movement and become fixed on
the aperture between the fingers of the two extended hands. There is
an exhalation then while the hands return forcefully to the back of
the body. This movement is done three times. The hands are then
lifted very quickly so that the palms face the ground. Then the weight
goes to the right leg and the left leg is lifted with the knee bent
and the toe pointing down. The left leg then moves in a pedal-like
motion three times from the front to the back then the right leg does
the same.
The arms come forward with the palms facing the front as an exhalation
is made. An inhalation follows as the arms extend backwards with the
palms to the ground. The arms turn forcefully with the palms facing
each other as the air is expelled from the lungs. Both arms bend at
the elbow to make an "L" shape. The palms face back and the shoulders
are kept lifted as an inhalation is taken. An exhalation follows as
the hands come together, palms facing each other, held vertical to the
ground. The arms draw half a circle and they are fully extended to the
sides, fingers together and pointing upwards, index and middle fingers
extended, the others contracted and held by the thumb over the palm.
The arms rotate at the shoulders and draw a lateral circle and join in
front of the face, arms fully extended. The movement is performed
three times. Three smaller circles are drawn in the same fashion after
the trunk twists and the hands face the left side. The arms move
swiftly to the right as the trunk turns 90 degrees and three more
circles are drawn in the same way. The arms are brought again to the
front and they swing to the left and to the right three times. The
head rotates from front to back three times as the deltoid muscles
press over the ears as far as they possibly can. Then the arms are
brought down to the level of the liver and pancreas with two extended
fingers pointing up. The two arms jut to the side again, making an "L"
shape, keeping the two fingers tight together. From there they shoot
straight back. All the contracted fingers are released. The trunk
stoops over slightly with great pressure on the adrenals and the arms
are brought to the front over the head as both legs are bent at the
knees and stand on the ball of the toes. This movement is performed
three times. The hands are flipped over to have the palms face the
ground and all air is exhaled as the hands come, palms facing front,
to rest on the sides of the body.
Pass #8: The Female And Male Winged Being
This is the last magical pass of our series. It is called the "Female
And Male Winged Being". It has a similar structure to "The Butterfly".
It refers to the male and female aspects of a species belonging to
another phylum. It is said that it represents the internal structure
and organization of an unnamed male and female winged being. This
projection into this unknown being is another way of extending the
webs of perception, this time to enter into unknown possibilities. The
seers' idea was that the female and male winged being was a natural
device to enter into the realm of the true unknown. If the viral
context of every species is unique, to enter into what was abstractly
called the female and male winged being is indeed the unknown at it's
most minute best.
The movements of the female winged being are considered to be more
direct and a source of a very powerful production of heat. The female
winged being is structurally more sound than the male but less
ostentatious. The difference in structure is that the female winged
being moors it's sets of four delta wings on the areas of the liver,
pancreas and kidneys. The male version on the other hand, attaches
it's wings to the sides of those areas. This is considered to be a
more shallow attachment than the one of the female, which is directly
on those organ areas. The movements of the male are more flamboyant
and have deeper perceptual significance. The male winged being has
eyes on it's antennas and brings the view of the world around him onto
his body itself. The seers of antiquity maintained that the creatures
from what modern man calls the phylum arthropoda, like the butterfly
or the winged being, see the world through liquid eyes, that is to
say, everything is seen as if through a container of pure crystalline
gelatin. They affirmed that for such creatures the world is made up of
hues and that each hue has a particular scent. This magical pass has
been lost in obscurity for hundreds of years. As it was taught, it
seems it had been purposefully dismembered and only single portions of
it were shown as separate units. For example, the steps of "The Female
And Male Winged Being" were taught as two separate units that seemed
to be designed for tensing and relaxing the lower extremities. These
two fractions of the pass were purported to massage and stimulate the
ganglia around the genitals and hips. Likewise, the wing growing
movements were taught for stimulating the ganglia around the shoulder
blades and above all for stimulating the liver and pancreas areas.
Restoring the magical pass to it's original form was the result of a
long process of deliberation. The only sober alternative was to put
it together, for whatever it may be worth.
The pass starts by raising the arms, parallel to each other about a
foot and a half apart, palms facing the ground as a deep inhalation is
taken. The top of the body stoops forward, pivoting on the adrenal
area. The inhalation continues as the heels of the two palms are
moored on the areas of the liver and pancreas and the body straightens
to a fully erect position. From those two areas the hands rotate to
the hips as an exhalation is made. It must be noticed that the hands
do not drape over the hips but extend out, laterally. The thumb is
held across the palm. The hands slide to the kidneys resting the heel
of the palms that are facing one another square on the kidneys. From
there, both arms shoot back in a straight line and draw a pair of
delta wings with an inhalation that ends when the arms are extended
laterally. The trunk is kept stooped down, the palms of the hands are
facing back. Then they are turned to face the ground and the two arms
retrieved to land on the pancreas and liver areas with the tips of the
fingers pointing forward as the air is shifted from the lower part of
the abdomen to the top of the lungs without inhaling any more. The
body straightens up. The two hands are returned to the sides of the
hips as an exhalation is made. Next, the hands go back to the frontal
position of the liver and pancreas and another set of two delta wings
is drawn by lifting the arms in a straight line above the head and
down in a triangle to the liver and pancreas areas. An exhalation is
made as the hands move to the sides of the hips.
The next movement simulates the independent movement of each of the
upper delta wings. The movement is performed three times. The hands
which are resting on the hips do not drape over the hips but are kept
lifted up to create the adequate pressure on the ganglia of the
axilla. Then a movement of the legs follows. It consists of shaking
of the left foot at the level of the ankle and a quick sidestep that
almost places the sole of the foot on the inside calf of the right
leg. The exact movement is done with the right foot. Then the left
palm is placed against the body on the area of the liver and
gallbladder and the right palm on the area of pancreas and spleen. The
arms are brought back to the sides of the body with a quick motion
that leaves the two forearms striking out in front of the body as if
they were not arms but woody insect-like limbs. There is very quick
vibratory movement of the forearms protruding back and forth very
fast. This is followed by the forearms moving up and down at great
speed and then laterally and finally in a rotational movement of the
wrist. During these four movements in this magical pass the elbows
and arms are kept tight to the body as if they have been fused with
it. The female part of this magical pass ends with an inhalation taken
as the forearms are raised to the face. An exhalation follows as the
arms are lowered all the way down and the trunk is stooped over.
The male aspect of the winged being begins with a deep breath, similar
to the one that started the female form. The hands are moored on the
liver/pancreas areas and from there they rotate to the hips as an
exhalation is made. From the hips, the hands move straight up above
the head. Palms facing each other, 6 to 8 inches apart. Then they
extend laterally to the full reach of the arms and down as far back as
possible, drawing a pair of delta wings of gigantic size. The
inhalation ends when the hands are placed on the hips. An exhalation
is made then and the left foot is drawn out to the left without
turning the body. It taps the ground with the outer edge of the toes
three times. The exact movement is executed with the right leg. Then
the full weight of the body is placed on the right leg which is bent
at the knee and the left foot is placed in front and again taps the
ground three times with the outer edge of the toes. The trunk is kept
straight, looking onward, the left foot is retrieved to the back where
it taps the ground three times with the tips of the toes. The knee of
the left leg is kept as straight as it can be. The left foot is drawn
back to the front and taps the ground three times. Pivoting on the
ball of the left foot and the heel of the right one, the entire body
is turned to face the opposite direction. In that position the right
foot is in front and the exact same movements done with the left foot
are done with the right. The body pivots again to face the original
direction and the left foot is drawn back to be parallel to the right.
The left hand moves from the hip to the liver and gallbladder area and
the right hand moves to the pancreas and spleen. From this position
the arms shoot out 45 degrees in front of the body with the index
finger and the thumb of each hand making a seeing eye.
The wrists are bent to allow the supposed eyes a stereoscopic view of
the front. Three big circles are drawn by dropping the arms to the
sides as if the eyes were searching. Then the wrists are turned
sharply to allow the eyes to look at each other and three small
circles are made in the opposite direction. The two eyes are brought
together to the liver and pancreas areas, then an inhalation is taken
by raising the arms upward and around in a circle to be brought back
to the liver and pancreas areas over which the eyes are placed once
again. The left arm is brought forcefully to the side and above the
head with the eye facing forward and the right arm is brought
forcefully down in a straight line with the eye to be placed below the
waist. In this position the trunk turns and the full extension of the
arms is obtained. The trunk turns slowly to the other side and the
right arm rises above the head and the left arm lowers to below the
waist. In both positions, the eyes look at the arm that is behind the
body. When the arms are brought back to the front, they teeter up and
down three times before they regain their normal balance. The hands
are then brought back to the liver and pancreas areas with the fingers
pointing out but still holding the seeing eyes which are looking
upward to the ceiling. Then all the fingers are extended and the left
and right arms shoot out, back and forth, up and down, laterally, and
then they crisscross each other. Then the hands rotate at the wrists.
The two hands are brought under the axilla and out while stooping the
trunk with a deep inhalation. The hands are kept about a foot and a
half apart, the trunk and head move to the left as an exhalation is
made. An inhalation is taken when they go back to the frontal
position. An exhalation is made as the trunk and head move to the
right. A deep inhalation follows as the head and trunk go to a normal
position while the hands are retrieved to the area of the liver and
pancreas. An exhalation accompanies the massaging of these two areas.
The hands grab the liver and pancreas, so to speak, and a deep
inhalation is taken. The air is expelled from the lungs as the hands
are lowered to the sides of the body.
