Dance - not to be confused with gesticulation

07/17/2013

These days, people call all kinds of uncoordinated gesticulations and contortions ‘dancing’. Their sensitivity must have become really blunted if they do not realize that such gestures unleash destructive currents both in themselves and in others. For a gesture is more than a simple movement: all gestures are magical. They have the power to act on the subtle planes, connecting us with realms of light or of darkness in the invisible world. You will tell me that people unwind and free themselves from tension with this dancing. They don’t – it’s an illusion. While they believe they are becoming freer, they are actually binding themselves. They are giving themselves up to dark forces that they will soon no longer be able to control. It is so important to practise bringing some harmony into our gestures!
