The Ear Whispered Secrets - Tibet's Great Yogi Milarepa

I've decided that this is the title
of the work I will produce
words and music by anonymous or a pseudonym

Based on the story of Tibet's Great Yogi Milarepa
and other material edited by Evans-Wentz

This idea won't let go
What is different now
is my chronicle
my paper
documentation
if you will

Granted and given
everyone is different
there's a whole bunch who can go from brain fart to sheet music, scores, and screen plays

It's not easy until it's easy

For now it's hard

I live underneath all these skies
all these moments
motions
notions
directions

Scene: Flower Dance (Foundation Training)

Backdrop to master teaching should be
6 flowers demonstrating in part and whole
foundation training
and any other movement philosophy that will sponsor the production

ideally Dr.Stuart McGill of the University of Waterloo in Toronto would accept and provide the speaking role of the offstage speaker and whisperer [through recordings]
McGill would be interested in a legitimate expression of his ideas on movement
they fold into the story

ditto for Eric, Peter and Lance

Gere is the Dalai Lama link
the Dalai Lama is this old guy who may dream of chi's dream
and if Gere tells Clooney to call me to talk
and I talk to a Clooney like person
it could happen

"bring me a thunderstorm
  to right the wrong
bring me a thunderstorm"

scene: training the core the right way

master is instructing student in the curl
as a preliminary says
this is old knowledge
it is always new
look here
[and on the backdrop screen is Dr Stuart McGill youtube video with same title
 possibly throughout using videos/sound track of SM]

sound effects
 breathing as student breathes into the various states of the curl
 image can be cartoon spinal instruction

stirring the pot: scene from unwritten musical "Milarepa"

[training dream]
the power of silence

man and "swiss ball"
he stirs the pot
then "the founder" assisted by stumps, stand, etc
ball can get bigger
screen background can be used for images
 example, planet and moon, in solar system
 bee in flower in field
 butterfly in sky
sound system can amplify breathing sounds with effects
blended with sounds of heart and hearts (as additional cast blends into scene)

the ear whispered secret: the power of silence
silencing the breath
leads to the iron body
the iron body
silences the breath

silent breath can lead to a silent mind

a silent mind
connects with the spirit

Light and Sound

It is easy to say "look inside"
Impossible to say how to look inside

Easy to say "light and sound"

Only master can show light and sound
how master shows light and sound
master will only whisper in your ear

light and sound within common man
ordinary man will not find it

I've heard that there is always in the world
a master
one who can move others to see the light and hear sound
Not so easy finding master

I've heard there is a gateway to knock at
and I've heard to knock
and even where the door is

No one
not even master
can tell you how to knock
