DOUBLE CHALLENGE

Date: 6 February 2024

Duration: 76 minutes at 11:07 PM

Depth:

In the last 2 nights, I haven’t been able to reach the end of the duration that I have set on the timer. Last to last night, I came out 25 minutes short of 88. And last night I was short by 13 minutes on reset 89 minutes.

It’s good to know that last night my attention began saying ‘enough meditation’ only after an hour had passed. The night before that, my attention was done with meditation in 43 minutes.

As I think for possible reasons for the lack of depth in the 2 sessions, I am tempted to go with external reasons. I want to go with the thought that my body required life energy’s presence to balance any temporary imbalance.

That’s the readymade thought I can go along with. However, when I scrutinise the thought, I can see that it’s my attention that isn’t feeling prepared and confident.

Most likely, my attention is facing 2 challenges. It has sensed the onset of a whole new depth of mind. It won’t even go as far as to give me a glimpse of the new depth. Besides, it hasn’t established itself in the depth of mind where it provided me with a glimpse of the ‘seat of concentration’.

In recent posts, I have written about the phasing out of the phenomenon of hearing chakra sounds. Yet, I have heard faint sounds from inside my head in the last few sessions. Also, I continue shaking due to uncontainable spinal energy.

I have first heard a chakra sound in June of 2023. And I have been shaking involuntarily since March of 2020.

  At the demonstration last night, the Jerusalem police had carefully blocked any attempt at seating next to the fountain. As every where else where there are demonstrations they carefully block places where people can sit. When I asked one of Ben Gvir's soldiers why, he said he would open the barrier so that I could sit on the bench. I was impressed until I heard him saying to one of the other policemen to photograph him eto show that  he was  helping someone. I had a lift home after the demonstration but my friends told me that when they tried to go back home along the street they were forced to take a long detour because the police said that there were psychopaths waiting for them along the road. The question is was this really so and why did the police not deal with the psychopaths instead of sending two women in their 80s to take a long detour. We are sure that  just as we are cut off from places where we can sit for no reason other than they can do so. Only yesterday a woman was arrested because she was holding a placard calling for the end to the war and the police claimed that she was demonstrating against the army.

Some years ago I did a course on meditation and did it religiously. Now I am thinking of going to meditation  at Nofim. I am not sure what it is like and this week we are going to the theatre at the time of the course. But next week I intend to go hoping it will help me. It's called guided imagery. 

We went to a restaurant last night with seafood but the music was so loud it was really unpleasant. I find it is more and more a problem but it seems that most people do not suffer from this. 

We saw the London production of "Skylight" ....a simultaneous event taking part on the English stage and at the same time at Cinamateque. It nagged at me and i kept trying to think what it reminded me of and then I remembered....Who is afraid of Virginia Wolff. Which I can't say I enjoyed at the time and I felt the same thing here. The acting of course was superb  but at the moment I don"t need things which are fraught with problems between people.

My sister cries out to me says the sign .....I look at these children and think of the two little ginger headed and wonder if we will ever see them. I hear also that there are people who do not believe that there were really rapes. I just have to remember the first time I saw the horrible picture of a girl being dragged off a car with the back of her pants covered in blood. And how can they deny the hidden witnesses who saw the acts.

And I think of the two  ginger headed children whom I wonder if we will ever see again. and I look at the little demonstrators and thank God that they are here with us.

For those of you who want to know what is going on in the occupied areas....read the two PDFs below. Here in Israel of course none of this is reported on the media. This is a report from Machsomwatch about what is happening in the occupied territories.

/ ECONOMIC SIEGE IN THE WEST BANK ///

In January, the third phase of the Gaza war began, and it included the occupied territories. The closing of all the checkpoints to Israel and the wild and brutal pogroms of the settlers in the West Bank gradually evolved into a meticulous  project resulting in the canceling of the Palestinians’ freedom of movement outside their villages and communities. They cannot reach their grazing and farming lands, hardly get to their supply of food, water and medicine, or visit their families. Add to that the ongoing ban on the living made by more than 100,000 Palestinian laborers who worked with a permit in Israel, and imagine hundreds of thousands of frightened families on the brink of existential collapse.

This is a an integrated in-and-out blockage applied to the entire Palestinian population in the West Bank. It is carried out with both bureaucratic and violent methods - by the lawless violent settlers, the army (reinforced by conscripted settlers) and the civil administration. The government is leading it with the slogan "Oslo is dead" as well as the human rights of the Palestinians in Areas A, B and C together.

We anxiously monitor this economical siege in our centers of activity in the southern Hebron Hills, in the Jordan Valley, in the central West Bank and in the north. We receive desperate calls for help - "we are hungry", "we can't go on like this". Desperation and hopelessness indicate that the flare-up is imminent.

Michal from the southern group, who goes to the southern Hebron Hills, documented one micro-case of many, in which settlers blocked the passage of sheep to pasture land since the beginning of the war, all with the support of the army and the civil administration.

Have you wondered, as I have, how come Hamas has so many rockets......so read this article... and Israel thought they were stupid. 

This is happening while so many in the country are losing their businesses and when some of us serving in the army have been fired from their jobs.

This is great, and reading alongside teaching some climate-crisis classes, I saw it through a lens that I perhaps hadn't when I first read it.

Našla jsem v práci krásnej novej mosaznej šroub. Má plochou kulatou hlavu a nic na ní. Je to vadnej kus. Nedá se nijak utáhnout. Je tak roztomilej a k ni��emu, že se mi ho zželelo a ujala jsem se ho. Občas si připadám jako ten šroub, jiná než všichni ostatní, dysfunkční. Dám si ho na řemínek a budu ho nosit na krku. Dám mu smysl. Je to unikát a zaslouží si bejt víc než jen spojovací materiál.
