My nickname refers to the head as the center of intellectuallism in opposition of the heart as the center of... what isn't intellectualism!

But before I go further, as you might have already read, english is not my 1st language, so it will may be difficult for me to tell you exactly what I'll try to mean, but I'll try...

An author I discovered this summer, Douglas Harding (the 3rd way, The Headless Way) made me realise how we don't look at the world as we think we are. Do you really feel that someone inside your head (you!) is looking at what stands before himself through two little holes?
Douglas shows you with very simple exercises that you are not where (what, who) you think you are!
Never in all the spiritual books I read, the concept of vacuity and emptiness was so simply explained..! It was a very concrete revelation. Douglas insists (and demonstrates) on how we perpetuate a big, very big misunderstanding about (what we think is) ourselves...
Sentences like "Blessed those who are poor in spirit"(Jesus) or "To find the the way, you have to lose your head (Lao-Tzeu) really take all their meaning...

But meaning means that there is a seperation between the thinker and what is thought. That separation = not living the moment. And that necessarily means a distance, a process in which time is involved... and perceived by the mind (the head), doesn't matter if it takes a few seconds or many days.... Let's take a short cut: more there is time, less there is love.

The Nomanhead is not ruled by time because he leaves behind all what he learned from what society, family, himself told him what to think. He can totally embrace the moment. Not being ruled by time (your historical, social, logical... past) allows to live in the moment. And a moment that is not ruled by time = eternity. Eternity isn't a present that always last but a lack of time perception where the "action" of "being" meet at the same intersection... By the way, even if my nickname is Nomanhead, you can tell that I still think a lot...
I guess that's enough for tonight... We'll have to talk about dualism and the problem with words...
All you Zaadzters, i invite you to show your disagree or your agree with this. I wrote that blog quite fast and I must admit i'm not rationnaly sure about everything... certainly a good sign... ( :
And go check the web site of my friend Leonardo de Luca. He's a very good teacher!
Good night, bonne nuit!
