“ALTE SACHEN”: OVERVIEW, QUESTIONS AND more QUESTIONS, PART TWO

7 September 2022

One meditation could be enough for somebody to get an inkling of the inner self,   but a sequence of meditations’ impact and influence on someone’s life could be conclusive. For me, it was. That explains why I am so gay now despite a scary amount of stupid clashes I had with both fortune and people. Sots.  In a twenty-year-long run, I did probably some  2500 sessions. No more than ten could be considered to have been a perfect successful attempt to escape the tyranny of the MIND. Even if races do not exist anymore better to be a born Indian to get there…”THERE” means to hover on the top of a virtual Baluch prayer rug. Unfortunately, I am neither a Swami nor a hovercraft-riding smart private. I am forced to keep a body and soul stance. However, I am proud to inform the eventual reader that I hold my knees and ass in a blessed position, tailor-wise, keep my eyes closed, and religiously respect the hour with one or two spare minutes added. The phone ring announces the end of the ectasis cum torment, the return of sight, a minimum immersion of some milliseconds into Nirvana, and triggers the salute composed of reverence and the whispered formula Ave Teshoolama Magister Maximus.**** I never got any answer, but I felt bliss. That is all.

This particular time after unsuccessfully trying for a while to uniformize my breathing I apprehended with my mind’s eyes the blurred materiality of the master Teshoo floating in an uncertain space in front of me. He was both very near and conspicuously remote if you can accept this slight contradiction. I believe a thin smile hung from his barely sketched lips.

─So, do you know by now he whispered.

─Yes, I do.

─Then what do you know?

─I know that you are not at all a scion of the American African Diaspora and that beyond any reasonable doubt, you are a genuine embodiment of the Oceanic artistic tradition. More precisely I believe that you have seen light in the Philippines.

─You are undoubtedly in the truth. But what made you reach this conclusion?

─The crouching position of your body, the prismatic form of your legs and arms, the chubby geometrical outlook of your feet, and the densely stylized head with discrete minimal organic features seem to support my assumption. Also, some very trustful images coming from areas as remote, one from others, as Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and of course your Philippines added some material basis to my guess.  To make a long story short dear Teshoo even if you are not a lama you are of noble origin. The odds are high that you have been carved somewhere in the Ifugao province of Luzon Island to serve as a BUL_UL, who is a wet rice cultivating deity…The possibility that you have been created for market purposes, please, don’t be mad at me, could also be considered.
