A Postural Zoom-Room Information Gathering Plan

I’ve been obsessing about eyes these days.

Six hours a day on Zoom for successive days and even weeks will do that for you.

Today’s experiment – get yourself a postural Zoom-Room information gathering plan. What exactly is that?

Well, I hope you this week’s Daily on dog-pooing?

(Go to the blog at the link below if not)

Like dogs – like all mammals – we have countless automatic behaviours that require no conscious intention on our part. This is a good thing – if all information buzzing around our system entered our consciousness, we could not manage, not a bit.

That’s the first part – automatic is good.

UNTIL IT ISN’T. 

(That’s the second part).

Eyes are dumbfounded by Zoom (or any screen showing perspective).

When our eyes first approach a blank screen, there is no conflict. Our eyes “know” that we are looking at a “flat-screen-at-a-fixed vocal-length-away”. And it is easy to focus on a “flat-screen-at-a-fixed vocal-length-away”.

Then suddenly that black screen transforms into a breath-taking view of the Grand Canyon.

What do your eyes do now?

Your eyes believe in the Grand Canyon being there. 

Everyone knows that a scary movie tricks our senses into believing we see something that is not there. What is there is a “flat-screen-at-a-fixed vocal-length-away”, but we believe it is Freddy Krueger with razor-gloved hand.

Or that we are looking into the Grand Canyon.

At that moment, your eyes no longer “know” that they are still looking at a “flat-screen-at-a-fixed vocal-length-away”. Your eyes try to respond as though they must adjust to a focal length that would be appropriate if seeing the actual Grand Canyon in real life.

Your eyes require conscious intervention. 

You need a Zoom-Room Information Gathering Plan for your eyes.

Which means for your whole Self, given Alexander's Discovery.

There’s a lot to unpack in those two sentences.

The whole idea about “making plans” is a variation of Alexander’s “secondary directions” for the FM book-reading fans. (Are there ANY    ?)

In specific terms, you need different plans for different situations…

1. Alexander co-ordination plans (favourite of the droids)
2. Replacement plans (for all-of-you while zoom-rooming vision for instance)
3. Turnaround plans (bless you Katie)
4. Back-pocket plans (whenever THAT happens – whatever ‘that’ is…)
5. Activity plans for anything (performers, musicians, yoginis etc)

There’s more on the list, and each one has a different story attached to it. 

This is all part of my grand two-course summary of my life’s work with Alexander's Discovery – ThinkingBody. In two 10-Lesson course – each with several videos – I pack it full of every idea, insight and method I have used in my 51 years of studying Alexander's Discovery. If I die, this contains just about all I learn in that half-century of study.

And available just for now at a price that is too low to write down here.
