Chapter 8 – Will I experience the Vertigo of Slow?

There is no reason why you would not. Your mere presence wrapped in the veil of your genuine curiosity contains in itself the ingredients of your own realisation. I am actually surprised that, when discussing the Vertigo of Slow, the first question that comes to your mind concerns the probability of it happening. Well, I guess that with what you already achieved and these self-explanatory words, no additional comment needed then. With intrigue I respect the direction you follow and value the rhythm you set.

Yet, given the unequivocal positive answer I provided to your initial question, I also anticipate what you expect from me now. You won’t have it. Something in the vicinity of the following: sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, breathe in, breathe out, open them, try to relax, stare at the artwork, don’t judge…

You probably want to hear how to proceed to go through such an alteration, how convenient would that be to sense it thanks to a few of my words. Setting up guidelines to enter a different state of consciousness appears counterintuitive to me. We are not here to reach a so-called new age enlightenment, no. I stand by your side, as your companion, not your guide, not your master. Telling you how easily anyone can attain this smug clarity, not today. 

You asked me to solve a puzzle during a previous discussion and the time has come for you to be presented with one yourself and face the consequences of your choices. And these choices, to be clear, were absolutely superb.

The Blue Neon should soon provide us again with the conditions to greet the Vertigo of Slow. Embrace the concept of awe, but don’t expect to be struck yet.

Yours Sincerely,

BLUE
