To be able to concentrate on reading or writing does not require effort, just take the first step by walking and open a page of the selected book or begin to write the first words, the rest will come by itself.

Taking the initial step and reading the first words generates such a powerful force that we continue to do so, in a motivated manner and without stopping.

Traducido al Español

Once we begin the process, we forget everything and abstract ourselves in such a way that we do not feel time running.

Perhaps what is difficult is only the moment when we have to make the decision to walk and go to the path to take the first step; because later, being in the process we already feel encouraged to carry out those activities. What should we do so that we do not become lazy at the beginning of each walk?

In order to free myself from idleness and laziness, I have used various forms that I mention below. However, my experience tells me that the most important thing that never fails is to place myself on the path and take the first step.

– Believing in oneself

– Self-confidence

– Changing focus or perspective

– Love for oneself

– High self-esteem

– Changing the focus (or nuclei) of attention (or interest, mood)

– Thinking about what I’m going to read

– Knowing that I’ll be able to write

– Feeling good about myself

– My body will thank me

– I’m going to be able to read that document I’ve put off.

– I’ll be able to write the text I’ve been avoiding

– I will finish writing the conclusions of that essay that I have postponed indefinitely.

– Contemplating nature

– Feeling free to walk

– etc.

There are a lot of awareness and good intentions that we make when we listen to our inner voice. In general, we must accept ourselves as we really are; take care of and protect ourselves in all aspects of living; and love ourselves interiorly. Our thoughts must always be positive and self-confident.

The system itself changes the laziness and apathy of carrying out some of the activities that it involves, for the desire to carry out another; that is, it exchanges the laziness of reading for the pleasure of walking, and vice versa; thus one activity always impels to carry out the others.

Let us keep in mind that passion is a response of intrinsic and profound satisfaction of our intimate self, which we give to a positive attitude of that search for well-being and joy.

With respect to loving ourselves inwardly, we must keep in mind that if we do not love ourselves, we will not be able to love the things we do, nor the things we wish to do: we may wish to carry them out, but we will not truly love them. This also applies to our fellow human beings: only by loving ourselves can we love other people.

We have already mentioned on other occasions, that the three activities that give foundation to the system: reading, writing and drawing, generate benefits that are common to them, but also accentuates each one of different degrees and also generate other fruits and advantages .

Traducido al Español

Regarding why and for what we should WRITE while we walk, the benefits that we obtain are the following:

1.-We get to know and understand ourselves better.

2.-Various parts of the brain are stimulated, which have been slow or diminished by not using them.

3.-Reflection is potentiated.

4.- Allows us to move to faraway places through imagination and constructive fictitious.

5.-Renew the conscience and invigorates the unconscious.

6.-We essentially increase introspection.

7.-Increases logical, psychological and imaginative constructions.

8.-The dialogue with ourselves is increased.

9.-Increase all mental abilities, such as creativity, imagination, inventiveness, memory, conceptual thinking, intuition.

10.-We promote states of consciousness at the time of writing.

11.- We induce awareness processes as retrospective acts.

12.-Increase psychomotor attention.

13.-The symbolic means of the unconscious are promoted; symbolic images of the unconscious.

14.-In relation to the imagination, develops the ability to relive mental images and increases the possibilities of combination of images. It stimulates imagination and constructive fictitious.

And dozens of satisfactions more.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM

I would like to emphasize that through drawing, that ability that we have  -much or little-n to represent through graphic images different ideas, conceptions, imaginations, thoughts, sensations that emanate from our interiority, whether consciously or unconsciously, we can in a creative way know and understand what we feel and what we think. This artistic medium allows us to respond, among other things, to what we want to be and what we are in the present moment.

Traducido al Español

Great ideas occur during the process of this system, but with greater intensity when we develop our capacities to draw what we feel and think, what emanates from our interiority. It is not only the fact of drawing, but of giving free rein to that immense capacity we have of representing our sensations and thoughts, through images, which in our western system has generally been diminishing, deteriorating, and generally all our efforts are concentrated in the dialogue with the written letter, whether reading or writing. However, as we release our capacities in the plastic activity of drawing, we give credit to our creative and artistic possibilities. Function makes the organ.

In order to have a different mechanism than the traditional ones for translating these drawing images, I would like to briefly transmit what I have been able to observe and experience through a practice I have called thresholdism, which is a form that allows us to understand two or more elements that are contrasted in this system. The threshold is a portal defined at the limit of transition in which the elements, procedures, ideas, and in our case the information contained in graphic images are contrasted, enriching themselves by illuminating their essential constitutive parts. Analysts (observers and researchers) who could apply this procedure are encouraged and impelled in their creative and interpretative functions, becoming aware of the participation of the unconscious, which in turn is transmitted in this state of transition through the activated threshold.

In my book Tap Tap, Plastics and Poetry I resort to this system to evaluate the Macro-plastic Complexes that I use to determine the parts of each plastic work as to its outstanding characteristics. We can say that two or more elements are enriched for their assimilation, reaction and comprehension when they are contrasted at this threshold; that is, they are placed temporally, spatially and numerically at the threshold within their borders and are analytically confronted in this continuum defined by its “limit dimension” revealing its secondary (PII) and tertiary (PIII) properties. It is a process that begins and ends in a peremptory time; however, it has the faculty to restart again to bring us closer to our goals.

Passing through the threshold is similar to the activity of introducing a special contrasting liquid into the human body in order to observe it through X-rays, that is, the operating system provides us with both quantitative and qualitative analytical mechanisms to know the plastic elements of the whole work, as well as its essential constitutive parts, both basic and outstanding illustrative. Likewise, it has the object of obtaining the relative differentiation between (physical) sections of the drawing or painting, previously selected, with respect to the dominant plastic elements.

As in other writings I have mentioned, if anyone would like to have more information or some extra information about this that I have written in this or in some other, I can gladly provide you immediately all the information that you request.

DRAWING, TO KNOW BETTER OURSELVES

The integral WALK-RWD system reveals a healthy way of living, with pleasure and satisfaction. Like Zen, it allows us to carry out our daily tasks consciously in the here and now; its general objective is to reach an exciting state by any of the 4 activities that it involves or globally. Achieving that passion is its main goal, in the moments that take effect. Each of its fundamental activities (walking, reading, writing and drawing) is motivating for the rest; we just have to start our walk and in a few minutes we will be enthusiastic to continue reading, writing or drawing. In other words, we can live the present moment in a relaxed and balanced way, since that vehement state leads us to carry out those absorbed and concentrated activities, in such a way that we do not feel running time, that is, through the dynamic or active meditation.

At the beginning it is highly recommended to choose those books that we are passionate about since they will be an attraction and a motivating mechanism to walk and to develop the other activities.

Traducido al Español

For reading it is advisable to select the books that have an interest for us, because if we make an effort, we may not reach the necessary interest and see it as an obligation, as when we feel we have to comply with an unavoidable study program.

We must be aware that when we are willing to walk with a broad interest in it, we can select some type of reading that is not so attractive, however, we should be very careful if we choose a book that provokes rejection.

125-INFINITY

The system itself, makes reading and writing more enjoyable, absorbing, pleasent and satisfactory, and therefore , less difficult to carry out those two activities. Performing them, while walking, transforms them   -reading and writing-  into part of ourselves.

For the first walks, we can recommend simple books, such as:

• Books of apothegms, poetry, famous phrases, or something similar

• Those books that we have always wanted to read

• Books that are not complex or difficult

• Books not large, light, few pages. Not like the ones seen in the attached work No. 125 “Infinitos” (watercolor, 43 x 27 in.). This work was inspired by a poem entitled: “A book in time”.

It is the art of being oneself through reading, writing and drawing, while  walking.
