Much has been written about various techniques that help us feed the brain, and they all work; however, I believe that one of the most effective and that contains more attributes and excellence, is reading. The surprising thing, and that I have experienced personally, is that those documents that I considered that they would not give me anything – a manifest prejudice – also had important information for what I had been doing at that moment; as if something or someone was directing me towards that document – or text – that I had prejudicedly considered “had” nothing important and interesting to me.

This observation of re-considering readings, by labeling them as “not acceptable” refers Carl Gustav Jung in his studies on the phenomenon of synchronicity, of which I have been a staunch studier. My conscience and my reasoning constantly tell me that I should not waste my time reading that book “anyone”, but from my own experience I know that my unconscious has placed me in that position of “yes read” and I always pay attention to it, and I invariably find one or several answers to what I am looking for, to the themes and topics that I am investigating and analyzing. Such is my belief that I have about the existence of that phenomenon of Jungian Synchronicity that motivated me, years ago, to write a couple of books on that theme: “Synchronicity. A predictable phenomenon”, 2007 (*); and “The synchronicity in the Ancient Maya”, 2009 (**). So, I have no doubt, that reading is a means that allows us to get in touch with synchronicities, and these leads us to find answers, that our unconscious-surely- he is certainly tired of trying to communicate our consciousness in other ways, and he has not noticed them -of the answers- for a long time, either because he is unable to hear it, or he refuses to do so.

We must let ourselves be led by what our interiority advises us and not reasoning. If you “decide” to read a book it is perhaps that your unconscious is inviting you to do so. And if you “decide” to read another one that you have already read, you will surely find new answers; these could be more important than those ideas you found in your previous reading.

We must consider the following aspects when we have decided to correspond and attend to the messages of the unconscious, either by the phenomenon of synchronicity or other symbolic languages:

1º. We have to introject into ourselves that truly that kind of actions come from and are generated by our unconscious. We will not be able to hear it if we do not believe in its existence.

2º. Synchronicity is a predictable phenomenon and can also be induced, so that we can cause its generation and its incidence in external manifestations.

3º. Each synchronistic manifestation of the unconscious must identify it, unveil it and rationalize it.

4° To understand these messages of the unconscious, each manifestation of synchronicity, we must analyze and interpret it.

The most important and true –authentic- of our inner being we can know and understand through the different symbolic languages that the individual (and collective) unconscious uses and Synchronicity is one of them. To know its predictability and the different ways in which the unconscious is induced to manifest through the phenomenon of synchronicity, we can resort to my book Synchronicity, predictable phenomenon, or, I will gladly respond directly and personally to those people who request it.

In the immediate future, I will make a synopsis that allows us to act in this regard and I will present it to you in one of the following posts.

So let’s go walk and read.  Read and walk.

The motivational mechanics that I have used to carry out these activities, is to use any of them as encouraging of the others; that is to say, to begin the exercise thinking that at least I will walk 1000 feet and that I will have to take advantage of them to read two pages, and to think that if I can read up to ten of them, the better. This will encourage me to walk a little more. This practice has never failed me, because reading  -which personally motivates me the most-  invariably is the activity that drives me to walk. But for another person it could be the other way around, or the motivating writing. I become so absorbed in reading that I do not feel the time running and when I become aware, I realize that I have traveled a lot more than 1 mile and read more than the two pages that I proposed. With writing the same thing happens to me, although it is less propulsive (for me). At the end of the day, the four activities interact with each other and can be intra-stimulated.

I invite you to read this other writing I wrote on the subject:  HARMONIC DEVELOPMENT

This can be a kind of commitment for those people who are convinced of the need of any of the four activities and do not have enough enthusiasm or motivation.

It often happens that while walking with pleasure, we say to ourselves: “if I am already walking, I will take advantage of it to read some pages”. This self-motivation to take advantage of the time of the walk and at the same time to read or write, generally works and moments after doing so we find ourselves developing these activities enthusiastically and we did not even realize that a long time had elapsed and with several pages of reading or writing. This also happens the other way around:  reading  -or writing or drawing-  is sometimes the activity that promotes and encourages the walk.

You can find more information in this other writing that I wrote: HOW TO WALK WITH ENTHUSIASM?

We must use any motivation that drives us to take the first step, or to read the first word, the rest comes by itself.

As we have pointed out with respect to writing, neither what we intend is to teach to draw nor that skills are achieved that allow to be famous, not even that it is possible to obtain income by this means. However, as in writing, we can also find in these activities that we are good at it, but above all that we are passionate when we develop it, and that would be enough.

When I mention writing or drawing, I do not intend to point out that we can be an excellent writer or a great artist. On drawing what we want to convey is that we can all emit and communicate ideas and thoughts that are differentiated from words and verbal labels. That is, to the extent that we can separate our thoughts, ideas, concepts, knowledge, manifested in our mind as words or oral messages, and only represent them as images or drawings, in that degree we will be fulfilling our goal. Note that in no case have we asked or suggested to draw something that is traditionally requested, when they teach the techniques of drawing, represent objects of reality, the more perfect and precise we achieve better qualification we have in this gift of drawing. However, our role with this integral system is not that.

We are specifically interested in the fact that the images that come to mind can be dissociated from the oral elements, in such a way that they do not become contaminated, and can arise in our consciousness in a clear way, without oral contamination; a total blockage of verbal thoughts and ideas. That is why the drawing that we advocate has no comparison with orthodox techniques.Everything must work exclusively graphically (visual), no oral or verbal issues, or want to represent reality in a precise way, we just have to let out the graphic messages sent by our unconscious, during our walks and draw them as we see them in our mind.Our recommendation is: Draw all the images that you have visualized through walking and reading.In general, the drawings thus made are not very comprehensible, since they are symbols, metaphors and graphic analogies, that our mind is hardly accustomed to this type of communication through these images. It takes time to understand them, but let’s not forget that we must draw everything that comes to mind in graphic images and we will have the opportunity to understand them.The images that we create each one of us in our mind are unrepeatable; our ideas or thoughts are represented with pristine figures, with very special characteristics, specific to each individual. Each one of us is unrepeatable; you just have to take out what one has inside the unconscious.

As I go describing, over the course of days, the different topics that I consider should be pointed out and explained to better understand this integral system, and that anyone who I am interested in this, I will allow myself to expose in the fields of reading, writing and drawing, my own experiences that I have had over the years with this method, as well as the new experiences that I have been having since I started the communication blog.

In the activity of reading I will offer some global and other specific comments on those authors who have been magnificent, as well as those books, also extraordinary, that have accompanied me eventually in my walks. About the field of writing, I will have to point out some texts that I consider relevant in the articles that I write in this Blog, as well as some poems that have emerged during those walks. Finally, I will expose some drawings, images and sketches that have served me later to turn them into paintings or sculptures, works that I will also show. Many of these works, plastic, literary and poetry, have emerged during these walks; but do not be scared, about literary and poetry  I will only transcribe fragments; however, if someone wanted to have more information about a certain work, I will be happy to communicate it immediately.

Each book that is chosen is a good motivation to walk. The exciting thing about this system is that, apart from providing physical health, there is also motivation for the topics chosen to read or, the texts that spring from their imagination and individual creative power. So, the distance and time you spend there is no limit, more than the one you impose. There are no restrictions for it, other than your own physical and mental endurance.

1000. MECHANICIST VIBRATION

Everyday, when I go for a walk, I see people who also exercise with the walk, raising their hands, forming circles with their arms, practicing deep breaths, turning their heads, taking longer strides, raising their thighs, and many other forms that from then they generate the exercise of other muscles of the body; obviously, our system does not oppose this incorporation of exercises, which we can do  -after consulting a specialized manual-  when we have stopped reading and writing; but what I want to point out is that invariably these people dedicate less time than me to their walks, which allows me to assure you that these people walk around 30-40 percent of the time that I destine them, and for that reason I wonder will it be Why do they get tired? They are bored? Someone would answer that is because they do not have the time that I have.  I do not know, but what I can assure you is that I never get annoyed in these practices. The very combination of being able to read, write, draw and walk, generates a state of enthusiasm that keeps me with a high interest going around the park, and of course, producing.

When I get tired of reading, I start writing; when I get tired of writing or my inspiration runs out, I start reading; and when I get tired of reading and writing, I draw or continue walking and I start to contemplate the landscape, watch the birds fly or hear them sing; I start meditating or going over the ideas I just read or write, I think about what I will write later, or I just put my mind in blank. But I never get bored.

The generality of the times I have to suspend the three activities to continue with other more ordinary, because I realize that I already exceeded the time.
