Engineering

Dietary Exercise Suggested:

A diet of taste and an apothecary of invention.

This exercise best permits portions of food which are extremely small and differing from one another - with great variety. This may be experienced throughout a day for an entire month at a time.

Commentary:

With this dietary exercise we come to examine the many, many foods available and experience combinations which are both nutritiously wholesome as well as quite flavorsome – enjoying foods in their most natural state, broiled or steamed, baked or tossed; combined or sauced, contrasting the uniqueness of each.

The object is never to repeat one dish in a week (not even the same sandwich for example, or daily cereal) and always to keep the servings remarkably less than what you are accustomed to (approximately half, to one third of the size), although you may of course eat other foods depending upon the needs of your hunger.

There is to be no plate mixing – i.e. not to have a variety of bites on the one plate, but rather that the one food chosen is eaten singly, with an interval of at least ten minutes having passed before going on to the next.

In a lesser exercise a party can set a buffet meal to be experienced in a similar fashion, tabling as many different fruits and vegetables as is possible (but not necessarily in very large quantities), and depending upon the time given to the dinner being taken into account also (six serves an hour maximum).

Our sensing through taste is primordially keen. As infants it is as though we are absorbed by our food, and not it by us! Through the soulic perception of the child the nourishment which comes to it is sucked or gulped and later to be mushed, and this nourishment entwines the child to itself – whether it be the milk of a mother, or later, the substance from another kingdom. There are spirit-arms embracing the infant coming from the highest-most aspect of the food taken in.

This is because the very nature of that food responds accordingly with the nature of the child, during the interaction of digestion, assimilation and absorption. It is the Christ-likeness that responds out from the child which draws the embracing forces back into it during this process … providing that it is a ‘live food’ which is being fed, quite naturally. (‘Live food’ denotes that which contains its natural fluids, without having been dried and reconstituted back again).

This lessens with age in respect to our abilities of calling forth the highest of aspects from that food which we take in. A man may well go on to poison himself, if it is that his own consciousness is marred with an evility that shall attract and extract much of the same from those substances he consumes.

Everything interacts – it is not just a case of what a fruit or vegetable may do for us, but much more of a question of what we do to it, and then how it reacts within us as a result.

The first understanding we may arrive at when consuming singular portions at intervals (which, by the way, we recommend for infants as a regular diet, yet with a daily repetition) is one of recognizing certain properties within the foods, and within our own responses as well. If the palate is confused then the overall impressioning shall be confused also.

Questions:

• What is the difference between the combining in a single recipe and the combining on a plate?
• What is the difference when the combining occurs in the stomach anyway?

The soulic forces which are characteristically expressing themselves in this world, circulate, aspirate, permeate, only in fluids. Within the body the first soulic interaction occurs within the saliva in the mouth intermingling with the substance placed on the tongue.

When we combine food in any given recipe the mixture is taken into the mouth at the one time (for the purpose of this exercise that is) whereas, if we are to eat different portions from the one plate concurrently, they shall be markedly changing – unless one put a little of each on to the fork and then shoveled it in all together (which some people do instinctively – children for example will mash all of the food in the bowl together and eat it that way).
 

Also, from this introductory idea you can see that the emphasis here is on the activity within the mouth, rather than the combusting later to occur in the stomach’s performance. All the way through there shall be parts of the material absorbed or discarded, however the transaction which is vital to the very etheric qualities as imparted in the food occur in the meeting of the tongue, the saliva, and under the tongue (rapidly passaging the body), whilst the vaporous activity travels up through the sinus passage and through to the pineal region as well. 

What is not to be seen or measured physically here is the reactive process entered into between the consumer and the consumed. As the very nature of the substance begins to penetrate the auric membrane of the consumer there are immediate decisions to be had as to whether or not these vitalities and their characteristics are desirable, or compatible, with the nature inside the individual. These decisions are first met with and dealt with in the mouth.

All along the digestive pathway there are reactions to this substance which encourage our own ‘inner’ discrimination and tolerance. Substances which are assimilated via the skin or directly fed into the veins deny the individual the response/reaction and invocatory powers which would otherwise be experienced through the mouth and out through the south pole of the trunk.
 

The child in utero is not obliged to make these discernments before his incarnation, and when born into this world goes on to delight in the findings of most mouthy engagements – in sensing their holiness because of that of his own. He will try this method with objects as well as food – trying to divine their characteristics – which will or will not be successful, depending upon whether or not the substance encountered is of organic origin or chemically/synthetically contrived.

As an adult he will lose something of his differentiation (as well as his powers of high invocation) and he shall forgo his single-mindedness through this lively experimentation. The consciousness itself becomes somewhat fragmented and he begins to attempt many tasks at the one time, not only is this apparent in the diet, but also when one tracks the thinking alongside the activities effected as well.

The consciousness itself is never interrupted out from being itself – the flow has eternal origins and persists onward likewise – but what is meant by ‘fragmented’ is to say that it is called hither and thither by the many undertakings the individual has bought into at any given time. It becomes episodic, rather than concurrent, and the reasoning processes themselves are given over to a preferred cross-referencing with the intuitive faculties, or to the lower animal. This of itself is not unhealthy, and yet the ideal lies in the individual being able to exert his reasoning uninterruptedly when choosing to do so at any given time. If a person is given to ‘flighty’ thinking which dashes its way subjectively too frequently to allow for anything else, there will be tensions that shall arise inwardly, spiking the thinker into yet more sporosis (sporadic intermissions). The effect is compounding.

Reason, however, alleviates this and draws the thinker away from their subjectivity and out into the world at large. It is the nature of reason to be freeing, rather than restrictive, for it is as one continuum, a wave that shall take our former selves into the oceans beyond our usual range and carry us into further capabilities than ever before arrived at.

The other benefit to be had in this exercise is in that we may begin to awaken simply to difference. The properties of engineering entitle this, as its magic in the world is determined by effort, exactness and differentiation. It is by differentiation that we learn not only what something is, but also what it is not – being the testing of certain reality and the discovery of that which will lead to a more reliable effort and exactness in our work within the world further along.

Physics: Weaknesses Transformed into Strengths

Characteristic Weaknesses Transformed into Strengths:

Virtues are natural to Man, and when desired, when called upon, when prayed for sincerely, deliberately and needfully induced, their messengers will beckon and their characteristics shall be grafted to our being. The weakness shall be restored into that which it was originally destined to become, as follows:

Undisciplined behaviour denotes a chaotic happenstance which contradicts the general patterns of growth and of equanimity within those patterning predictabilities. This disrupts both the major and the minor universe connected to the man who suffers the internal chaos.

When transmuted though, it becomes a form of diligence (as distinct from specific discrimination or focus) … it is the quality of application repeatedly born and the stubbornness for which this too is required! Chaos is a stubbornness likewise, which, when turned around may be useful in enhancing the very life flows which it sought to block or conspire against. The stubbornness which is at the root of undisciplined behaviour may assist the very applying of self when redeemed.

Perceiving evil and good to be the same … pertains also to the stubbornness examined above. All beings have the ability to identify even the simplest of relative goodness and evilness subjective to themselves. The problem of a person maintaining self-consciously that there is no such thing – that rather a sameness prevails over internal and external circumstances and their effects – then it is a matter of ‘blockage’ and fixedness within that fellow as well. 

A man’s moral wellbeing eventually commands his properties of incarnating. If he denies his own morality (and each soul has morality most naturally) then he or she causes certain death within those parts of themselves they do deny. This may mean a death to the consciousness itself through stupidity or cretinism when reborn, or death to the forces which would otherwise invoke a proper health. 

When this inner situation is reconciled to life once again, we find that the individual can go on to develop adamancy and religious righteousness. Both qualities can be dangerous of course when poorly applied without the proper discriminatory reckonings – however, it is interesting to find that the fellow who might argue solidly against the higher reasonings uses the same forces to defend their existence later on in their development! This is of itself understandable and probably a good example of an inverted perception that has been corrected, finding its more cordial expression in the world.

Assuming occultism to be the same as esotericism is risky in the sense that one does not necessarily offer the discrimination of the other…or the ‘warmth’ perhaps, as better understood.
 

With esotericism learned we would hope that an individual might also come to a greater compassion, empathy, and true purpose amongst humanity, because of his learnings. The findings of occultism are not ‘people’ orientated necessarily. The view is not subjective and inner (coming from our inner projections or their inner qualities) but moreover concerns the form and function of the spiritual instead of the motivating spirit and soul within.

This is why occultism alone can lead to affiliations with beings which are actually contrary in their politics to that of the evolution of Man and Christ’s own example. This is not really a redeemable problem as such, but has been noted as a weakness nonetheless. 

 

Fatalism is a psychosis of the soul. It occurs when materialism has engulfed the ego’s perspective and proves itself correct. The physical world, at the present, is flawed. Fatalism recognises this truth and exaggerates it to the consciousness, forgetting the permanency of the spiritual worlds and their supporting strength. When transversed within the consciousness it becomes one of the greatest revelations to be had- often referred to as being ‘born again’, as the fatalism itself has died its death, and the soul within once again resumes its recognition of its unerring tolerance to life eternal.
 

The Knight of Physics cooperates with the Lord of All Reasoning – knowing the true purpose of both Manifestation and Quiescence to be that of Supreme Love. He is intimate with Life because he perceives its wondrous combinings and conspirations. He is faithful to record the truth, as it is, and with talent to serve both the greater and lesser marvels throughout. He is chief observer to causation and deliverer from Chaos.

Chapter 7- Physics: Exercise 2

Exercise 2

Tools required:

• Honey
• Small dish
• Glass Jar (with lid)

Take one portion of your honey and place a thin layer of it onto your dish. Leave it outside (preferably away from the wind) and observe several times during the day what happens to it – the life that is attracted by it, fed and sustained by it. (Hopefully some ants will find their way there.) Every two days or so you may need to put more out on the dish.

The remaining honey keep in a glass jar and also place outside. This jar is to be kept in direct sunlight, but brought inside the house at night time. Eat a portion of this honey (a teaspoon will suffice) once or twice a day (providing you can tolerate the sugariness) and make a note as to whether or not there is a difference in your overall sense of wellbeing in health and mind. It is important to have both the dish and the jar out at the same time.

“Quotas” – The Ark-Arc

Tools required:

• Empty writing book
• Pen

Seek out twelve favorite quotations and write each one on every other page of your book.

On the page opposite to each quotation, write down exactly how you yourself have experienced this to be a truth … what events and reasonings have led you to experience the profound nature of this insight?

Chapter 7- Physics: Recommended

Activities Recommended:

• Diary-Tree Keeping
• Balloon Blowing
• Acts of Love
• Orienteering (and Treasure Hunts)
• Homoeopathic Gold

Diary-Tree Keeping:

Similar to that of a family tree mapped out, we can record key events in our day-to-day, month-to-month happenings, displaying the progression of events. Being both a ledger and testimony to those preceding circumstances which contributed along the way and into the present, we can make tracks along the differing branches of these outstanding and connective events and so begin to find the sense of them.

The more detail we can retain may help us later to understand that supporting frame from the past into now; and also we are formularising a coherent perspective on what and how and where pivotal changes occurred in relation to the previous circumstances.

Many opportunities are already made way for, awaiting man in the future, and the soul can recognize these opportunities as they present, perceiving with a readiness the ‘design’ as was laid out even well before birth.

Concurrently there are decisions and consequences arising right out of the current consciousness for which new designs or improvisations may be achieved.

The physics of one’s own karmic circumstance, of the cycles in our lives, of the little and larger miracles also – all of this in the combining is marvelous to explore in this retrospective reckoning.

Keeping a record of various sequential event lines, as branches to your own tree of life, will help in this understanding.

Balloon blowing: All of life is contained within spheres.The sphere is the most profoundly fundamental solid inherent in the nature of physics. Manifestation is fed in impetus and design from ‘higher’ worlds, and one realm permeates another via the central-most point of its spherical containment.

The sphere being the mystical doorway to higher life (even though the circumference has no opening to be found) is remarkable for the actual portal of entrance is determined by that circumferential skin, by its containing aspects and form, therefore calling into form also that central point within.

With the inflation of a rubber balloon and the consideration of those spaces within (or of a ball or a bubble for that matter) we are given a conceptual model which says most loudly to our inner knowings ‘PHYSICS!’.

It is for this reason that babies love their balls and balloons, heralding them into their incarnating splendour (auspicious for birthdays as well); and why clairvoyants ‘see’ within their crystal spheres, gazing through to the adjoining higher realms.

Acts of Love: Whilst we can incontrovertibly say that acts of love should underpin every undertaking qualifying every subject so mentioned here, and not mentioned here, it can be understood here that the purpose to all of the universal principles is Love in Principle and Love in Action.

Hereby we can consciously embrace this most perplexing of subjects within the esoteric impulse that gives it reality and life further on throughout its expressions of being. We can incorporate this in our thinking and so find that the very actions and consequences arising out from ‘acts of love’ that we knowingly perform, bring together dynamic events (distinct from the mundane or soon-to-die happenings).

This is something we can experience the results from firsthand, observing that the process is affected by the quality and tone of any given intention and subsequent act. We can go on also to find that the glamour of any activity is given to a much higher rank in status when it is the love for something or someone which has inspired it.

Can love be contrived? No, most certainly not. The spiritual worlds and life itself reflect only genuineness – of course. However, when we set about to consciously find goodness and do goodness we ordinarily invoke a love. When we look for ways to be loving we are answered quite instantly. It has the fastest action, the keenest refraction and the strongest persuasion – when sought for.

This is not to say that we should ever go against ourselves and try to love or be loving to something which upsets us in the process. It is damaging to both the true self and that which we may ‘force’ a pretence with, should we try to go on with something our heart simply hasn’t at this time, the strength for. Love does not defer discrimination, it enhances it and sometimes may challenge us to higher reasonings, and differing determinations, from that which we have previously lived and sought for or felt obliged to.

So, specific only to your inner governings – in freedom, in decision, and with consciousness – for the sake of the goodness within and without us, in deed and about us – may we love well.

Orienteering involves the skill of trying to find oneself in relation to the terrain about you, and in relation to the plan of the terrain (which may or may not match up to the practice when entered into!)

Once again we are tracking our progress, only this time we are achieving this in the physical world – making very real at every step the plain understanding of this practical undertaking.

Provided that one does not get lost in the wild and hypothermic with anxiety, the benefits of orienteering on one’s own are in the performance of relying on yourself: to find these bearings and maintain them, to follow the predesignated courses and establish how they go and how the map itself may ‘come alive’ with this experienced detail you find yourself running free in.

Also, one can take just a simple walking track and carefully study the map of this before beginning out, looking carefully for the hills or views indicated which lie around the route – try to imagine the distance beforehand, etc. Then, with careful planning decide what may be advantageous to take on this walking track (hats, water, stick etc.) There is a particular joy experienced within, when a plan is executed by the self. It streams from that soulic attitude that loves the repetitive story, that craves to habit (in the higher notations), and is satisfied to see a vision attempted and fulfilled. 

 

The happiness of the treasure hunt is also a soulic experience. The emphasis is on the mutuality of the event shared and the excitement of possible finding. This too reflects our life’s course. With the example of orienteering we have a reality of predestination. The paths we are led to have been predesignated, but until we actually do the trek we have no real way of understanding the experience from the map alone.

With the example of the treasure hunt we have the reality shown to us of possibilities and futures unknown. Yes, it is true that the treasures (the possibilities) are limited to what has been hidden before us, yet this is true of life also, and even within the range of free will are we limited to only certain possibilities. However, the accent is on both wonder and mutuality. Mutuality changes an ego’s planning, and their karma and draws the one great ‘wildcard’ in any destiny.

Great souls of the past have often combined themselves amongst the mutuality of others given to a certain race for example, and in consequence have changed completely the route that they might have taken, if they had only preferred a personal path of development in and out of the world.

It is through a love of fellow men (individually or collectively) that our fixed karma becomes less fixed. We are involved in their karma also, and according to the wildcard of love, we are open to possibilities that hitherto had not existed for us.

Chapter 7- Physics: Contraindicated

Activities Contraindicated:

• Lying (telling untruths)
• Animal husbandry
• Luciferic Occultism
• Indulging in unreasoning conversation
• Philosophy

The comprehending of Physical logic requires that the individual not only resemble the truth, but become the truth – in all he bears witness to, in all that he represents.

The paradox here exists in the very relationship Physics necessarily holds with that which it is applicable to – that there is such an interdependency, that were one to have Physics in principle but no confiding reality adjoining that principle, one would have only chaos. So whilst we distinguish that Physics itself is quite separate to the Creation which examples it, it is necessary in order to grasp it properly that we may qualify it in a living representative.

Every time a man speaks an untruth he causes a certain ‘death of events’. The realities are dislocated from their source. If the spoken word cannot be reconciled to his own living pictures within, there becomes such a separation from the ‘life’ within to the life without, that that area of reasoning will recede and eventually die. 

Animal husbandry is listed here, not because the occupation itself is hazardous or without worth, but rather that in relation to the Physics within a man’s own esoteric study (where there is weakness especially) it can be detrimental. Let us explain:

There is more than one system of rebirth and renewal within the ecology of the whole, within the various kingdoms we have. Although there is a sameness apparent (i.e. life is life, and new life comes from former life etc.) the actual processes and ‘formulas’ of activity are remarkably differing.

When a man has a weakness within the area pertaining to physics he needs follow those models and formulas which best suggest his own system of physiology firstly. This is because the homogeny which becomes him requires that understanding before he can begin to add to that knowledge with contrasting systems. Those of the animal kingdom hold to too many differences which are not profitable to contemplate – or to ‘take in’ subtly those influences which come by the act of farming the offspring. (Equally, and given this thinking, a vegetarian diet is far more suitable in these instances too.)

We realize that there will be arguments that follow from these statements, understanding that most folk regard our affiliation with the animal kingdom to be so very close as to be evolutionary partners. However (and this being mostly true in one context) simply speaking with practicality, a dentist could no more model a set of false dentures for us by using a cast of any other species other than our own. This alone tells us that design does differ enough to be apparent and unworthwhile to our purposes if we are seriously trying to find the proper correlations.

(Please note: Animal husbandry will be a suggested virtuous occupation under another section in this book.)

Luciferic Occultism is an interesting subject in relation to Physics, namely because there is no real place for the comprehension of Physics amongst it.

Many types of evolving concepts can be listed under in this category, even ‘positive thinking’ for example, as well as the non-thinking cults. However, perhaps one can find this in itself is a useful yardstick for the definition. Obviously the indulgence in any form of nonsensical thinking is dangerous. Men require reasoning for their very health, both spiritual and physical. We are reasonable beings most naturally and throughout, particularly when we account for the reality that all of Nature and her supporting hierarchical beings are as living disciplines of a very defined reasoning – a divinely defined reasoning.

This brings us also to the practice of nonsensical conversation and its deleterious action upon us. It is not so much the humorous unreasoning which departs the more ‘normal’ cognitive responses, but moreover the ‘fuzzy’ remarks, the dependence upon current cliched paradigmical whimsies … the pretence of reasoning and fairmindedness, when in point of fact there is none. Much conversation clutters up the thought traffic, confusing and frustrating that ‘reasonable man’ who craves the sanctity of genuineness, seriousness, determined logic and pertinent discourse.

Philosophy oddly enough, is not directly arrived at by its own route. Those who do not have philosophy developed within them understand it to be but an intellectual playfulness – more of a sophisticated nonsense, because they are without the comprehending of the supporting systems of thought it entails. 
 

The enlightened reasoning which comes of pure philosophy is at the same time lacking sadly in the Physics-deficient, therefore there is not the means to understand the philosophy they may be attempting to enter into.

Under the section of Philosophy you will find that the activities indicated to assist in the cultivation of it are relative to reasoning, rather than suggestive of ‘diving into the deep end’, so to speak. The deep end is simply too deep and too vast without suitable navigation. Likewise with Physics also.

Philosophy and Physics can be agreeable or sparring brothers, who both need to consult constantly their parent of Reasoning, before maturing enough to know their own capabilities well.
