I do get quite a bit of that action. <br /><br />All sense is touch so I'm thinking that grokking involves the touch of "psychotrons," undiscovered basic particles of consciousness, acting upon an unkown sense organ in the neocortex.Open Trenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354412002318534131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-4181545937307438542010-05-27T16:43:43.053-07:002010-05-27T16:43:43.053-07:00Are the eyes ever off?

Same with the ears..you can turn them off although mechanically they are still working.<br /><br />When you dream, is there dialog? ...or is only meaning conveyed between "characters" and you just think you hear the words spoken? Seems to me you can think thoughts with or without words. Un other words, do you just simultaneously "project" and "watch" your thoughts as you form them.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589423819039764711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-37251376165949474722010-05-27T11:19:08.604-07:002010-05-27T11:19:08.604-07:00GE -

Do you use their products?<br /><br />Years ago, I read two books by Isha (who I guess was Uncle Schwaller's wife ?), <i>Her-bak</i>, and <i>Her-bak II.</i> But I've never understood what the thrust of their writings were aimed at.

Touch, the tactile sense, is of the Earth, that is, of everything forming a material obstacle to the matter of the body. The body of the wind is Earth, as is the body of water, or stone. The senses are aware of an activity only by opposing it with a resistance of an identical nature. Taste is related to water, and nothing, be it a gas or a solid, can be tasted unless it be slightly dissolved. Thus there is a Water principle in everything. The sense of smell belongs to Air because nothing can be smelled unless it be volatile, or made so, as, for example, by heat. And so there is an Air principle in all things. Sight belongs to Fire: nothing can be seen without the radiance of Fire, just as a piece of iron, dark in the darkness, becomes dull red then dazzling white if heated by an invisible energy.<br /><br />The heat of ordinary fire belongs to touch and not to sight. Thus the Fire principle exists in all visible things.<br /><br /><b>Hearing belongs to the quint-element, the Word, which becomes perceptible physically and tangibly through sound. The first four senses pass through the brain; the fifth sense, hearing, passes through the “heart” without speaking directly to the brain. It is the spiritual sense, the door to intelligence-of-the-heart.</b><br /><br />Each thing has its own sound..."<br /><br />-Uncle Schwaller<br />http://www.spagyricarts.com/page13/page13.htmlgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015936407999495181noreply@blogger.com
