Reason, reading and Zaha Hadid

At times when reading I feel a pressure at the front within my forehead. I can ignore that pressure and read on but these days I don’t. In session 12, to do with what Seth calls his first lesson class he points out the benefit of a regular schedule and recuperation. Later on in talking about wires and planes he says

‘With feeling alone, although it is the basis, you would have an inconsistent, very precarious framework. Reason is the form that disciplines and upholds these frameworks…

How is reason being used in this sentence? I have never thought of reason as a form.
Reason seems to be an equivalent to a conceptual energetic holding pattern. Reason also seems to be a ‘doing thing’ not a thing that is. Is reason as a type of action? I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I know this is not how I have thought of ‘reason’.

Somehow it links to ‘how do I ground my practise’ and ensure the process is vibrant? The holding-grounding pattern I woke was ‘anything that furthers art, anything that can be applied to art will be grounded, used and useful, but that I am unlikely to persist with the exercises in their own right if I cannot apply them to some area I am interested in.

Which led to the next question, would I do an exercise as an end it itself for the experience of it, the response is yes but why would I want to and most likely I would not persist to a point of competency and break through.

Later on Seth says to Jane

‘In any case I wish you the best of luck in whatever experiments you u would like to try….

[And]

‘. I’m of the opinion that small ritual tends to emphasize data in the mind and to set it off to advantage, in the same way that good cuisine is set of by fine food.’

Even reading and mentally engaging with the material and filling in a journal or blog is my type of practise. ‘Not sure though how that of itself fits into the continuum of practise if I avoid application and there have been months when I couldn’t be bothered.

Yesterday evening I went to listen to Zaha Hadid give a lecture at the Architectural association
http://www.designmuseum.org/design/index.php?id=104

The venue was packed and I realised that entrance to the lecture hall was by ticket only even for members. The security man and woman assured me I would not get in without a ticket and I watched them firmly turn others away. I stood outside the building and began affirming that someone would show up with a spare ticket. I was still affirming when Miss Hahid arrived .I was able to reach out and ‘touch her psychically’ (that was useful but a different story) and in she went to the hall. Still I had no ticket.

Then I realised I had associated form ‘getting a ticket’ with essence ‘getting in to listen to the lecture’ no wonder I was standing outside getting frozen waiting for this ticket to materialize from framework whatever.

My immediate impulse took me back in, past the security guards and down the stairs to the lower floor of the building where I was alone but for one person standing at in front of a panelled door. I whacked him in his heart chakra with my energy and winked at him, he smiled back and opened the door where upon I found myself in a large air-conditioned room where the lecture was being relayed from the hall above on a wide plasma screen. It must have been the directors dinning room. Needless to say I settled in to a very comfortable seat and enjoyed the lecture away from the teeming masses above.

To be frank what use is conscious creation if it doesn’t allow me to creatively by pass common every day obstacles to my value fulfilment? As Zaha’s energy seemed to say back to me as she passed ”you really need to get yourself into gear and get in, I have things to say you need to hear” I suspect she is Sumari.
