At the beginning of a lesson on 16th July 2001, MB praised the way MC allowed self to be directed up as body moved downwards from standing to sitting in a chair.
MC: I may be good at working out strategies to allow movements, but am I making any progress in getting to the root of holding?
MC discussed spiral asymmetry and anger and aggression probably linked to suffering testicular torsion in infancy...
MB: Holding is a way of not expressing it. You need a way of letting it go.
MC: I used to enjoy karate training. What kind of way?
MB: This work is a way!
MB used the phrase "sidestepping it," which brought to mind tbe similar phrase "by-passing" used by Nelly Ben-Or.
MC: It goes against the grain for me to sidestep or by-pass.
MB: That [recognition] is part of the solution.
Footnote: In retrospect, sidestepping it seems to be a practical corollary of the Buddha's teaching of emptiness. If anger does not exist as a thing unto itself, there is ultimately nothing to square up to.
