6th of August. 2017. Ibiza
I have been walking every day this week in the morning most days, before it gets too hot, just after running. While I run up the hill into the countryside I also remember to “run in different ways of seeing” and I get glimpses of this alternative state of mind. While running I can´t maintain the attention long enough for it to count as the exercise, although I can say I think I have developed a tool I´m now able to access this state consciously.
When I´m in this alternative state of mind “the unknown”, somehow it feels “out of time” and so having experienced it for short amounts of time make me feel different after, like after the experience of a dream. One knows it a dream but it can affect the way we feel after. This is the same for me with this exercise.
During my walks I observe my lack of continued discipline when I´m affected by the surrounding influences I judge negatively. I observe this phenomena and acknowledge it.
