(From a personal message sent tonight):
So I thought to send you a description of that angle of my experience, from what I remember from that night.
As my mind conversed with my body, impulsed and guided by music the mediator and lubricant, all the pending expressions between the two were said out loud. My mind flowed through the music and conversed with the body through simultaneous thought, bodily impulse, and dance, each moment a new stage for the next lines in the dialogue. And saying and saying and saying and saying out loud each one, all they had left pending to say, eventually they found a synthesis, or found themselves with nothing left to say, and then they both felt peace. Peace, mutual understanding, and an unneed to do anything at all.
And then the voice of my soul could be heard... soft and clear, distinct from the relative ruckus that my mind-body duality was engaged in before. I felt then a dialogue, calm and steady and dotted with mental disbelief, between my mind and my soul. A channel of communication was reached via a point of transmission somewhere in my head, and I strove to listen and understand the signals that my soul sent.
I then remembered the life that each of us is in essence, and how that life living through my body is the exact same as that which lived and looked out from all the dancing bodies around me, despite the mental separations with which my mind continues to categorize and feel useful and worthy.
And at the end of the music set, when the speakers sounded with a chanting choir, I felt resonance between this music and the mind/soul connection I felt, and I prayed for the growth of the realisation within all of us about the same life that we all are and share.
