Reminisenses from San Cugat

in my first "Beginners & Intermediate" course with Robert Fripp, he gave an exercise for call the attention. Before he begun to work with the beginners circle that week, he kindly ask to us to put our attention in what it is in front, behind, above and down of oneself, very simple and clear.
But it felt to me, he was asking to consider those coordinates from the point of view of oneself as a center, and this was hard for me to do, because i do not recognize myself clearly, nevertheless i do recognize the characters or faces of myself but their are not my center and this exercise felt as wasn't an ordinary question, is very practical, but this words are leading to look and consider what is really happening in those coordinates that he gave to us. As a result, i think that this exercise is very wide and useful to look into and out of oneself.

the sitting gives me the chance to observe, to realize about the thinking flow. The exercise is basically to scan my body, beginning gradually with the head and moving towards trough the rest of the body. With the time the perception is leading me to a change which sometimes is extending out, to normal situations, which are governed by the ordinary flow of life. As a result, the practice its leading me to see my ordinary state of being, this is giving me a ground to work and to search more into myself.
