一枚拥有三个面的硬币 - Ido Portal Movement Culture
'My Body'. One facet of an unknown coin....
‘我的身体’ 一枚未知硬币的第一面
These words and the way we use them is very revealing of our concept of 'self'.
'My body hurts', 'I don't like my body', etc all point at some extreme and basic dissociation in our perception of ourselves, one that is deeply ingrained in us.
Further, that dissociation in our culture and history produced methods and systems that are supposed to 'help us with our bodies'. From various training modalities, to spiritual 'body work' to modern medicine, such approaches are the commonality.
这种说法以及我们的措辞方式很好地印证了我们对“自我”这概念的错误理解。‘我的身体很难受’，‘我讨厌我的身体‘，等类似极端的说法，以及将‘自我’和自己身体区分开的想法已经根深蒂固。此外，这种‘区别对待’的想法在我们的文化和历史中制造出各类方法和体系来‘帮助改变我们的身体’。从训练体系到心灵洗涤到现代医药，这种模式早已成为常态。
Yes, one can target and effect the 'body' layer but the effects will never be contained within that layer alone and will manifest in unpredictable ways in other areas of our 'being'.
Since the body is 'targeted', our awareness of either wanted or undesired effects in other layers is often weak and we eventually drift in some direction or alternatively receive little benefit from some irreversible & immense investments and manipulations.
当然，我们是可以单独来看待改变‘身体’这个层面，但最终效果往往会渗透到更深层次里，无征兆地穿透进我们‘存在’的方方面面。但因改变‘身体’的唯一目的，让我们对于更深层次中本应向往或意外的结局变得意识薄弱。最终导致我们无知地改变航向，反而从那些无法挽回的愚蠢操作中贪图小利。
These are the common and disappointing longer term results of 'targeted body work' which is attempted with the body layer alone/mostly in mind - surgeries, body targeted therapies & training modalities. In the short term, at times, one can receive some benefits and hence such methods are useful in emergency situations where the long term is not on the map at all but otherwise... Results will vary from unpredictable to harmful while relapses and reoccurring issues are common. Deceiving us, AN EFFECT is often confused with the DESIRED EFFECT.
这些都是以‘只改变身体’为长远目标而发生的普遍并令人失望置顶的结局。单纯只为了改变身体这个层面 - 手术，理疗类以及训练体系。在眼下，这些方法看似都有不错的收获，很适合紧急情况，而不包括长远计划。然而，类似的结局会导致无法换回的伤害，就算愈合伤疤也会不断隐隐作痛反复折磨。欺骗我们貌似达到了最初目的，但真正的价值却离我们渐行渐远。
In order to truly go through a needed transformation of some deep issues, one must stop conceptualizing one self as in possession of a 'body' to be fixed or even as some kind of a collection of unrelated layers that must be resolved one by one. The totality is bigger than the sum of its parts, but we are not fully aware of all the parts anyways.
想要经历真正所需的内在改变，我们必须放下区分对待自我和自己身体的想法，把身体当作一个‘外在物体’需要被修复的思想，又或是一层层堆积出来的非互相关联的产物需要被逐一瓦解。一个整体要远大于它零件的总和。再者说，我们连它的零件都还未一一理解透彻。
There ARE ways to approach that totality. There has always been such methods around us, employed successfully, humbly, honestly.
正确看待这个整体的方法数不胜数。我们身边一直都有类似的例子，被成功贯彻着，不卑不亢，非偷工减料。
Tomorrow - a post of the other side of the coin. Stay tuned.
明天 我将来展现这枚硬币的另一面。

"The mind" - another facet of an unknown coin*
“大脑” - 一枚未知硬币的另一面
The concept of having a separated 'mind' that exists on some plain unaffected and from which we perceive and conduct ourselves is another false idea most hold, consciously or not.
‘大脑’是单独个体的这种想法在我们自我认知和行为层面又是一大误区，不管你是否意识得到。
The mind cannot be separated from our sensory experience nor from the physical body as these and other various layers interact and work together to produce, among many other things, the sense of self. We discover daily more contributions from the gut, the microbiome, etc...
大脑是无法逃离我们感知和肉体而独立存在。这些不同身体层面互相作用从而产生了我们生命的体验也包括了自我感。我们每天都在肠道，微粒体等互相作用方面有新发现。
Attempting to 'fix the mind' is hence a 'mosquito's fart attempting to hold back a tornado'. A person with certain make up and 'character' will also for example exhibit certain movement habits and tendencies, certain dynamic posturing, certain tonality, etc...
‘修正大脑’的想法就好比一只蚊子放个屁想要阻挡龙卷风的威力。一个有‘个性’的个体会通过独特的动作习惯，体态以及身体特征等展现出其独到之处
So, in order to transform certain innate behavior, 'mental' habits, etc one must be able to properly target other collaborative layers of our being, beyond what we perceive as our 'mind' alone.
One can view for example the breathing quality, coordination, muscular tonality or shoulder positioning of people who went through certain mentally traumatic events. How can we expect to transform such deep issues without touching these layers as well?! We often fail and turn to chemicals.
所以，想改变天生的行为习惯，顽固的思想观念等，我们必须照顾到身体各个层面的互相作用，这要远深于我们认为的‘大脑’层面。我们可以从一个人的呼吸状态，协调，肌肉特征，或是肩膀的高度来判断一个人经历过怎么样的心理创伤。既然如此，我们要怎么才能忽略这些层面的存在？！人们时常钻牛角尖，把这一切单纯地看成生化。
The mind, just like the body, cannot be isolated in any way effectively. Systems that attempt to address it alone are ultimately prone to fail in addressing deep and overarching issues.
大脑和身体一样，是无法被孤立开的。尝试去这么做的体系最终只会走向失败，无法解决深层次的根本问题。
'To know' has become the center focus of our culture along with its limited brain/mind focused approach yet we have lost the most important 'TO BE' which includes a lot of other layers like perception, the body, emotional make up, etc...
‘知识层面的知道’和大脑独立论已成为我们文化的聚焦点，但我们却忽略了我们最重要的‘存在’这一面，其包含了感知力，肉体，精神情绪层面，等等…
One cannot know his way into 'being'...
人类是无法用知识来解释’存在‘…
Tomorrow, another post on the third facet of the coin. Yes, there IS a third facet and we shall locate it and discuss. Stay tuned.
明天，我们将讨论硬币的第三面。没错，它有第三面，我们会展现出来。

* The coin analogy as it refers to body/mind is a concept I picked up from my friend Rasmus Ölme phd and his doctoral thesis From Model to Module
这个用硬币来比喻身体的概念来自于我好友Rasmus博士和他博士毕业论文 From Model to Module
So far I've pointed at the limitations of attempting to target our 'body' or 'mind' alone and missing the full complexity of our being. I've also mentioned a possibility of a third facet of the coin. But how can there we another face to a coin??
在前两个文章里我指出了孤立‘身体’和‘大脑’的局限性以及我们‘存在’这一本身的复杂性。另外我提出了硬币的第三面这一假设，但你问硬币怎么可能会有第三面？
The answer lies in setting the coin in motion or more specifically - spinning it. As the coin starts to spin, the two facets will appear at the same time! It is a manifestation of the third facet.
这个问题的答案就在一枚处于动态的硬币上，正在旋转的硬币。当这枚硬币开始转动，我们就能同时看到前后两面！这就是第三面的象征。
It is the magic of MOVEMENT that is responsible for that unraveling.
Movement的神奇之处就是它能揭开第三面的面纱
Movement is unique as it naturally allows the aware unification of our being to arise. It does not guarantees it, movement can be also be done superficially and without awareness nor immersion but GOOD MOVEMENT (a rarity, I'm afraid) enables one to slide into a state where body and mind are no longer 'alternating' but collaborate and act together as a unified whole.
Movement的独特之处就是它能自然地提升我们存在感的意识统一性。但这也不是绝对的，movement也会以半吊子的形式出现，稀里糊涂没有深度。但是好的movement理念（可惜很稀少）可以让身体和大脑不再以个体形式出现，而是合二为一相互影响。
Many have that experience of immersive movement while engaging in activities like rock climbing, extreme sports, etc and often call these activities 'my meditation'. Actually, I completely disagree on this matter: such immersive activities are not to be confused with the conscious control and command of our unified awareness as these activities use factors like danger, competitiveness, etc as technologies that 'charm' one into that immersive state yet in our day to day this does not move us closer to live that awareness in other areas and in simple acts of being.
Meditation/Stillness practice has its place, just like I believe it has its limitations. The same is true for the Moving Practice.
许多人都有过心流般沉浸于某个movement体验中像是攀岩，极限运动等。他们通常称这类活动是“正念冥想”练习。但我完全反对这一说法：这种沉浸式体验和有意识地主导我们意识统一性完全是两码事。前者是靠危险和竞赛等作为主要影响因素来诱导自己进入这种心流状态，但这种意识力无法体现在我们日常生活的其他方面以及单纯活着的状态中。冥想/静态训练故为重要，但我认为它也有局限性。动态修行也是如此。
How shall we then apply the Movement approach to resolution of issues and for complete self development?
那么我们应该怎么通过movement理念来解决问题自我成长？
This will be explored in the next post. Stay tuned and feel free to ask question below!
我将在下一个文章里讨论
