 Yesterday morning I woke up and hopped out of bed as usual only to find myself reeling dizzily all over the room. Gradually as the day passed the dizziness and nausea decreased until at the end of the day I was almost feeling normal. This morning I lay in bed wondering, what would my body do today? And I thought, this is the real crucifixion, to be at the mercy of matter. To be this incredible huge Being at the effect of a frail body subject to all kinds of disease and pain, old age and infirmity.

Can somehow this state of not-knowing of which we speak affect our condition of physicality? Do all the endless rounds and attempts at proper eating, sleeping, breathing and exercise change anything in the end?

Or is this crucifixion inevitable and inexorable, relentless and continuous throughout our lives, culminating with termination at the end. Saniel has spoken of immortality but with this dizziness which has manifested again today, I wonder. Being here in this ineffectual, at-effect way is to me a real crucifixion.

Am I at the mercy of my body or of my mind that believes itself to be at the mercy of the body? What is this simultaneity of identities all about? Am I thinking again? Is THAT the only problem? Today my mind reels as dizzily as my body.
