Question: what happens if you cross your eyes for a long time?

Do you really stay that way?

Or does something *else* entirely happen?

What about rolling your eyes up into your head? I’m not suggesting anyone try this, but if there is any pre-existing knowledge of this from people who know I sure would be curious. The cross-eyed virgin mary will be our code symbol. Okay?

Started using your left hand writing, very interesting.

I find ways to put the squeeze on the part of me that is embarrassed about appearing “weird” as for me this is very useful, some recent exercises I have used:

1) Go out and about with a pair of sunglasses on upside down, preferably on a cloudy day. Then, purposely engage people in close up conversation.
2) Skip through public areas like a small child.
3) Invent your own silly walk (think Monty Python) and walk down a well used sidewalk with it.

Initiallly, when I started using these types of exercises, I became quickly, overwhelmingly embarrased, and stopped the activity. Later, I was able to pull back a bit and observe my embarrasment for a while before stopping. Finally, I was able to transcend my embarrasment, transitioning into levity, and able to watch peoples reactions and laugh with them or at their reactions.

Detoxing - I find green juice, made by juicing fresh veggies as a very good detox method. Never tried tea, will have to look into it.

The white guy was clearly thinking. “OK. I need to put my hand here.” Wheras Ali, kind flowed as a unit.

So anyway, getting away from the racial thing. I think your mental conception of your body really does effect how you move. I find I move best by flowing as a unit and not creating a body/mind dichotomy.

Which if that was true, people would be constantly getting African Americans mixed up with people from India. Which no one does.

But anyway, I decided that black people move the best and that white people have the most problems. Somehow white people have become alienated from their own bodies as a group.

Its interesting what you said about control structures of getting people to move their joints certian ways. Looking at older films it seems further back white people were much more stiff, and that since blacks have influenced American culture more and more over time, white people are learning to move better. If there were no rock and roll or no sexual revolution, no 60s I am convinced most white people would walk like that guy “Friday” on dragnet.

I think its some type of group consciousness thing. I am sure people moving differently has changed our culture signifigantly.

I still don’t know if its a hardware or a software thing.
