AWARENESS IS THE OCEAN FLOOR, THINKING THE SURFACE. SPIRITUAL SEEKER THE DIVER, NONSEEKER THE SWIMMER

“
But I shall transmit their names far down the ages. These names alone will remain in the future, divested of their objects. Who, it will be asked, were Bulkaen, Harcamone, Divers, who was Pilorge, who was Guy? And their names will inspire awe, as we are awed by the light from a star that has been dead a thousand years. Have I told all there was to tell of this adventure? If I take leave of this book, I take leave of what can be related. The rest is ineffable. I say no more and walk barefoot.

Downdraughts and Upwellings Just the mention of a downcurrent is enough to inspire fear in many divers as they visualize themselves getting caught by an irresistible force that drags them into the abyss with no opportunity for escape. The natural response when confronted with a situation like this where you feel out of control is to panic but there is no need. Normally, downdraughts or downcurrents are localized phenomena that occur along reef walls: think of them as waterfalls in the sea. When you encounter one, the first thing to do is get out of the flow by moving closer in to the wall so that the contours offer you shelter. Once out of the stream, relax, exhale, take a few deep full breaths, check your air supply, depth and decompression status, look around you and plan. Look to see where the big fish are hiding or if there is a place where the sea whips are not waving around. It is not a good idea to fight a downcurrent. It is a struggle you cannot win. The oft-quoted tactic of inflating your BCD to counteract its efforts to carry you down is potentially dangerous as the current might suddenly release you from its hold and you will find yourself on a runaway ascent to the surface, which will do you much more harm than the current could do. Unless you have spotted a place further along the wall that seems calm, usually the best advice is to swim laterally out away from the reef towards the blue. If you find yourself being carried a little deeper initially, stay calm and keep swimming, you will emerge from the pull of the downcurrent before long or its effect will weaken and allow you to begin your ascent and return to the wall. Think of upwellings as reverse down currents. The same advice applies. First move into the wall out of the flow, relax, think, observe and act calmly.

Known as “Leni,” Helene Bertha Amalie Riefenstahl was born on August 22, 1902. During the Third Reich she was known throughout Germany as a close friend and confidant of the Adolf Hitler. Recognized as a strong swimmer and talented artist, she studied dancing as a child and performed across Europe until an injury ended her dancing career. During the 1920’s Riefenstahl was inspired to become an actress and starred in five motion pictures produced in Germany. By 1932 she directed her own film “Das Blaue Licht.” With the advent of the Hitler era she directed “Triumph des Willens” anf “Olympia” which became recognized as the most innovative and effective propaganda films ever made. Many people who knew of her relationship with Hitler insisted that they had an affair, although she persistently denied this. However, her relationship with Adolf Hitler tarnished her reputation and haunted her after the war. She was arrested and charged with being a Nazi sympathizer, but it was never proven that she was involved with any war crimes. Convinced that she had been infatuated and involved with the FĂŒhrer, her reputation and career became totally destroyed. Her former friends shunned her and her brother, who was her last remaining relative, was killed in action on the “Eastern Front.” Seeing a bleak future “Leni” Riefenstahl left Germany, to live amongst the Nuba people in Africa. During this time Riefenstahl met and began a close friendship with Horst Kettner, who assisted her with her acknowledged brilliant photography. They became an item from the time she was 60 years old and he was 20. Together they wrote and produced photo books about the Nuba tribes and later filmed marine life. At that time she was one of the world's oldest scuba divers and underwater photographer. Leni Riefenstahl died of cancer on September 8, 2003 at her home in Pöcking, Germany and was laid to rest at the Munich Waldfriedhof.

“
Anyone seeking to draw closer to God needs to curb the horizontal and ascend to God vertically,’ he said. ‘And this means giving oneself fully to God – with all one’s heart, body, mind and soul. There mustn’t be any dark corners.’ Skimming the surface wasn’t an option, he stressed. ‘People often tend to merely skate around the edges of religion, but what they really need is to plunge into its depths like deep-sea divers looking for treasures. Too many people nowadays make selective choices from various faiths – the New Age approach, but never embrace any one of them fully,’ said Nasr. It was true, so many people didn’t believe in organised religion but liked to take the best from every religion or spiritual teaching. ‘The most direct means of communication with God,’ he concluded, ‘are prayer and dhikr.

“
Sometimes we so unnecessarily believe that the thing we can see is best for us. But, it is only because we are not willing to see beyond it. When a diver gets into sea, he deserves the pearl, not the pebbles. If he satiates himself with the pebbles, due to fear of drowning, someone else will take the pearl. You have gotten into this life. Do not get disheartened with the pebbles, you deserve the pearl.

La censure sous Ceaușescu, vue par Vasile Andru (p. 327-328) : Il y avait une dizaine de procĂ©dĂ©s. Ma gĂ©nĂ©ration les a tous pratiquĂ©s, appliquĂ©s surtout d'une façon empirique selon l'inspiration du moment. Ces procĂ©dĂ©s commencent par un palier lexical-sĂ©mantique, continue avec l'observation de stratĂ©gies de construction et d'expression, l'Ă©criture entre les lignes, le syntagme Ă©nigmatique, l'utilisation de procĂ©dĂ©s Ă©sopiques tels que l'allĂ©gorie et la parabole ou les dĂ©guisements spatio-temporelles et, enfin, divers procĂ©dĂ©s expĂ©rimentaux. Tout cela Ă©tait associĂ© aux stratĂ©gies de nĂ©gociation. En voici quelques exemples : Les mots dĂ©fendus : l'affĂ»t de la censure commencĂ©e dĂšs le mot
 Il existait des listes de mots prohibĂ©s. Lorsque le livre avait reçu le visa de la censure (donc sans les mots refusĂ©s), je travaillais Ă  nouveau le texte avant son impression. Je remettais Ă  leur place certains mots dĂ©fendus
 Le rĂ©dacteur du livre (l'Ă©diteur) devait ĂȘtre un alliĂ© sinon tout tombĂ© Ă  l'eau
 Les codes allusifs : ils ont conduit Ă  une littĂ©rature Ă©sopique. En Roumanie tout le monde a appris ces codes allusifs de sorte qu'ils fonctionnaient au niveau de la sociĂ©tĂ©. Ainsi, l'expression Ă©sopique n'a-t-elle pas isolĂ© l'Ă©crivain, quoiqu'elle ait peut-ĂȘtre isolĂ© notre littĂ©rature du monde entier. Le rĂ©cit allĂ©gorique : je crois que les annĂ©es soixante-dix ont propulsĂ© en gĂ©nĂ©ral l'allĂ©gorie pour deux raisons : la premiĂšre, c'Ă©tait l'angoisse existentielle (poussĂ©e parfois jusqu'Ă  la nĂ©vrose) et la seconde, c'Ă©tait l'ambition universaliste. La tendance Ă  l'occultation Ă©tait associĂ©e Ă  crĂ©er des visions vastes. Cette dĂ©marche cachait tout autant un geste cognitif que contestataire. Le dĂ©guisement romantique : le genre historique nous a permis Ă  nous les Ă©crivains, des renvois au prĂ©sent. En parlant de la maniĂšre dont Trajan a puni les dĂ©lateurs de Rome, il Ă©tait clair Ă  quels dĂ©lateurs je faisais allusion. L'expĂ©rimentation littĂ©raire : avec les proses des annĂ©es 1980 j'ai introduit des procĂ©dĂ©s plus Ă©laborĂ©s - le montage cinĂ©tique, le « relanceur textuel » coupĂ© du contexte. En cela, il ne s'agissait pas seulement de contrecarrer la vigilance de la censure, mais de repenser l'efficience du langage, il s'agissait d'une « revigoration » moderniste. Quoiqu'il en soit, je n'ai jamais misĂ© sur la naĂŻvetĂ© de la censure ou sur sa bĂȘtise. Les censeurs n'Ă©taient pas bĂȘtes, on ne pouvait pas les duper. Ils Ă©taient diplĂŽmĂ©s, c'Ă©tait nos anciens camarades de facultĂ©. MalgrĂ© les procĂ©dĂ©s utilisĂ©s il arrivait qu'un livre soit refusĂ©. Il fallait alors changer la maison d'Ă©dition et il pouvait arriver que la publication soit accordĂ©e Ă  l'une de ces maisons plutĂŽt qu'Ă  l'autre. Entraient en alors en jeu le zĂšle ou l'excĂšs de prudence avec lesquels ces derniĂšres agissaient.

Le service militaire rĂ©unit matĂ©riellement les hommes et crĂ©e une unitĂ© apparente autour d'un critĂšre prĂ©cis : avoir un pĂ©nis "qui fonctionne". BasĂ© sur une idĂ©ologie patriotique valorisĂ©e par les familles, il rassemble ceux qui ont le "pouvoir de baiser" pour former le corps principal de la nation. Il donne l'image d'une piscine dans laquelle des hommes, se situant Ă  diffĂ©rents niveaux de la hiĂ©rarchie sociale et issus de milieux culturels trĂšs divers, nagent maladroitement, mais tous ensemble. Sortir de cette piscine est impossible, tout comme fermer les yeux, s'arrĂȘter ou s'isoler. Les hommes restent, continuant Ă  nager sans savoir pourquoi. Pourtant, d'autres gardent en mĂ©moire l'image d'un chaudron plutĂŽt que celle d'une piscine. Cuire ensemble est un processus de co-construction.

That day, after barely resurfacing from a seventy-two meter warm up dive into the Blue Hole, Mevoli went into cardiac arrest and died. This time, he wasn’t able to bring himself back. When asked to comment on the accident, Natalia Molchanova, regarded by many as the greatest freehold breath diver in the world, said, “the biggest problem with freedivers . . . [is] now they go too deep too fast.” Less than two years later, off the coast of Spain, Molchanova took a quick recreational dive of her own. She deliberately ran though her usual set of breathing exercises, attached a light weight to her belt to help her descend, and swam downward, alone. It was supposed to be a head-clearing reset. But, Molchanova didn’t come back either. And that’s the problem that free diving shares with many other state-shifting techniques: return too soon, and you’ll always wonder if you could have gone deeper. Go too far, and you might not make it back.
