I thank you for that warm reception it’s
0:15
a very interesting that our subject this morning should deal with conserving
0:20
energy resources because I just ran out of some so I’m going to listen to tender
0:27
gate to my lecture and see if I can move myself as I go along if you can’t hear
0:34
let us know and we’ll raise the microphone I’m trying to save myself from laryngitis this morning we do have
0:42
an interesting theme and that has to do with the conserving of the basic energy
0:47
resources of the human being Paracelsus Mahorn Hine is the result of
0:54
he studies in Constantinople received from the atom physicians and philosophers the astronomical concept
1:03
that there are three suns in our solar system the one that at the small end is
1:09
the one we see there are two others making a triad and the planets revolve
1:14
around the entire group a one of these thumbs one is visible and two are
1:20
invisible one provides energy to the forms and bodies of things and the other
1:27
to supply energy to the invisible parts of nature not only of nature around us
1:35
but human nature within ourselves the human being has according to this
1:41
concept three basic sources of energy one of these sources is his spiritual
1:47
son the divine principle of universal energy which is disseminated throughout
1:53
all time and space the second is a kind of soul energy that it develops the
2:00
various faculties were parts and members of the human personality the soul energy
2:08
has disseminating processes the planets which revolve
2:15
about the Sun the planets become the differential use of thought emotion
2:21
vitality all kinds of specialized forms of energy usage and finally also energy
2:30
depletion the third source of this energy works upon the physical terms of
2:37
things and it’s so more less represented by that great battery which we call the
2:43
planet Earth to the ancients the earth was a reservoir of energies
2:48
it was the container upon which all energies converge to be transformed into
2:55
the processes of firm building the energy of the earth is physical it has
3:02
to do with the growth and structure of physical processes in nature if
3:08
therefore may be regarded as the source of nutrition nutrition being basically a
3:14
dissemination of physical energy over the field of its own activities physical
3:20
forms in life also the physical energy takes charge of the actions and
3:28
locomotions of things it has to do with the growth of plants it has to do with
3:34
the gradual development the form and their maintenance throughout nature and
3:39
the highest form of this energy of course is interrelated with some of the
3:46
higher plans in the processes of generation or the reproduction of pieces
3:52
another point that is I think very interesting to consider and that is a
3:58
part of the solar rays reaching the earth by a bunch from the surface of the
4:04
Moon so the moon becomes a kind of subsidiary source of energy but this
4:13
energy is a peculiar and particular kind through the
4:18
old arabs and persians the lunar energy was the source of psychic phenomena in
4:26
other words it is the source of that kind of energy resource that he used in
4:33
magic sorcery and many types of esoteric disciplines and doctrines the tendency
4:40
no evidence of the lunar force is to be dissin degrees it has a tendency to
4:47
break down more than it can produce and also to lead into fantasy and phantoms
4:55
the moon is the magic mirror of antiquity in which all the processes of
5:01
nature are more or less mirrored and in terms of magic sorcery metaphysical
5:09
activities of all kinds now these types of activities result in a combination of
5:16
circumstances the activities themselves call upon energy resources the
5:24
activities be called upon under such conditions are not part of the straight
5:29
growth in nature therefore it is necessary to recognize a conflict
5:36
between the natural processes of growth and the processes of psychic phenomena
5:42
now this does not mean that this phenomena is not genuine it means however that is it is peculiarly subject
5:50
to fantasy it is nocturnal it has to do with the strange creatures of dreams
5:57
fantasy magic and to a certain degree degree psychology psychology has really
6:05
somewhere around the line to pause and solve the mystery of the effect of the
6:10
moon of from the psychological integration of the hue this is a very important point but they
6:17
get comparatively unnoticed yet if you go through the old mythology to go through the old imageries you find very
6:25
often a little crescent and it tied into the hair of the god shiva or one of the
6:31
other issue be it is not so good because it is a human principle but because it
6:37
is a principle a fascination a principle that was caught captured by the Greeks
6:43
in the goddess Diana the Huntress and in many other religious simple symbols and
6:49
systems now the human being being as he is a composite of the elements of the
6:56
solar system is constituted very much like the solar system in his principles
7:03
he if we can completely studies magnetic field and the entire or expector behind
7:10
the body we will see that we are in the presence of a little solar system as baby pointed out the whole solar system
7:18
is located or is epitomized in the human structure therefore there is a spiritual
7:26
source of energy in man which corresponds from the first of the three invisible Suns there is a mystical or
7:36
vital force a secondary some invisible corresponding to the soul in this man is
7:44
also equipped then there is the physical stunning man by means of which all of
7:50
the body functions are maintained within his own structure which is in the same
7:55
way as in the solar system itself this three suns in man or the heart the brain
8:02
and the reproductive center and these are the principal administrators of energy the result for a psychic field
8:10
associated with the solar plexus which again becomes the counterpart of the
8:17
more influence all of these factors taken into consideration would form a
8:23
very interesting study and it’s more or less of a pity that modern thinkers
8:29
haven’t recognized the dramatic importance of trying to investigate the
8:34
invisible locked within the visible and yet at the same time fully aware that
8:40
the visible is suspended from something they cannot see too many learning persons simply discard the possibility
8:49
making the parallel which might be of the greatest value in solving human problems actually a problem this morning
8:57
is essentially how are we going to use these energies we have therefore three
9:03
legitimate forms of energy that we have to use and one doubtful form we have a
9:09
spiritual energy which of course actually is available to us in only one
9:16
way and that way is through the complete harmonization of the structure which of
9:23
which we are composed spiritual energy can only manifest on its own level therefore it can only manifest in
9:30
organisms in which all factors or circumstances that are contrary to
9:35
Spirit have been overcome or eliminated therefore it becomes a pure supporter of
9:41
man’s most vital invisible and unknown factor his own spirit the Spirit is not
9:49
only the source of his life but it is also the central point from which the
9:55
energy of his life is suspended therefore the spiritual Sun being the
10:01
highest manifesting through a triad of energy factors becomes the source of all
10:07
energy and is related to a cosmic and space energy in this largest and most
10:13
abstract field now these secondary is the which you might call the
10:20
energies these have to do with the mind with the development of the body with
10:26
the laws and rules governing knowledge with the expansion of arts and sciences
10:32
and the supporting of ideals convictions integrity and here is where we have one
10:39
of our major difficulties we have within the individual the possibility of losing
10:44
these energies as he himself chooses to use them as a result of that these
10:50
entities are often in conflict and where this conflict exists it becomes a major
10:55
factor in the depletion of the rare physical resources of the individual the
11:01
conflicts between attitudes then become one of the major sources of the
11:07
depletion of the energy which maintains the human being on the level of the
11:13
human being it is asked therefore very important that each individual reconcile
11:19
the parts of himself he must reunite it’s not a family relationship he must
11:27
get away from the push and pull of conflicting pressures which are due to conflicting ambitions attitudes and
11:34
emphases on the various levels of his skills his ideas and his integrity there
11:42
the individual whose convictions are not supported by his conduct for instance is
11:48
found to be in trouble he is bound to delete his energy resources he destroys
11:54
them he creates toxins in them he puts them there could be a water can be
12:00
polluted it’s there the most important that the individual shall overcome the
12:07
negative pressures of his own mental emotional focus now many people that
12:13
they are making quite a project out of becoming spiritual they hope very much
12:18
that they’re going to be able to transcend the limitations and problems of day living very many of these people however
12:26
not doing too well one of the main reasons is that they have not placed a
12:33
proper censorship upon their own conduct individuals who are seeking spiritual
12:39
integrity and spiritual values cannot compromise the ordinary affairs of life
12:45
the individual who is still seeking power seeking life seeking superiority
12:54
desiring of to join a kind of spiritual aristocracy where we see is better than
13:00
ordinary mortals this type of person is not gaining anything from his efforts to
13:05
be spiritual no amount of discipline no amount of dedication can overcome
13:11
weaknesses of conduct the main in the main point always is to build conduct to
13:18
bring the energy field into balance and to conserve all resources so that energy
13:24
is available for the highest possible purposes so that this energy is
13:29
available almost completely for the unfoldment discipline and growth of the
13:35
higher nature itself whereas where most of this energy is Phillies in bickering
13:42
and conflicts in the personal life and on the personal level of action there
13:47
cannot be very much essential spirituality floating around now the energy that’s getting into the troubling
13:54
to travel is largely emotional energy it is the energy of the second son it is
14:01
the energy of the emotional mental being there for very long live that we return
14:07
the individuality it is this type of energy that is the person as we know it
14:12
today and it is this person that is in trouble and this person remains in problem as
14:19
long as he attempts to advance his personality and his personal purposes
14:25
without consideration for his integrity people come to me quite frequently with
14:30
these problems one of the most common of course is the individual who was trying desperately to be spiritual and has
14:38
kindly come to the conclusion that by some circumstance membership or something of this nature it’s finally
14:44
found that superiority he has finally found what others think in vain and that
14:50
is the possibility of a unique attainment in spiritual growth he is
14:55
going to be better than other people wiser no wonderful he’s going to have a strange superiority over everything else
15:02
in other words he is bound toward an achievement of spiritual aristocracy he
15:10
wishes to be an heiress aristocrat in the celestial kingdom this is not
15:16
possible it is a deadly mistake and a terrible waste of energy the Zen people are not wiser in this
15:26
they realized that energy that is held in suspension and therefore is not
15:32
motivating any destructive action is the most important energy of all the energy
15:38
that we use is mostly abused but the energy that we hold in a transitional
15:45
state we hold in a suspension is available but not necessarily used until
15:52
it is needed so all energy should be stored not wasted but when the time
15:58
comes when it it should be used it should be used fully and adequately we
16:05
need all available energy with which to grow we need all available energy to
16:10
serve our brother man we don’t own so little in this world that our energy is
16:17
not to be directed upon our possessions but upon the improvement of the society
16:22
to which we belong all selfishness ends in a short circuit in the energy fields
16:30
only buddy every abuse of energy has its comic consequence and kamar is largely a
16:38
matter of compensation for abuse whereas
16:43
if the individual does not break the rules he does not have to worry about the karmic reactions but comic reactions
16:51
are always punishment for broken rules and we need to bear this in mind
16:58
constantly because in an effort to misuse the purposes for which we were
17:05
intended we get into very serious complications one of the most uncomplicated thinkers
17:12
in all time I guess was Confucius Confucius was perfectly aware of what
17:17
constituted a superior person this superior person was a completely self
17:26
disciplined person but he was not disciplined in a way that showed as
17:31
disciplined he wasn’t unkind to himself he did not flagellate himself literally
17:37
or symbolically he did not become a dis an austere detached antisocial character
17:45
the Confucian superior man was a perfectly adjusted person not a person
17:52
who was subject to various types of / discipline or over self-control
18:00
Confucius enjoy life he regretted that other scholars did not rise to cooperate
18:07
in the Reformation of China but he did what he could and he became notable for
18:13
a very sincere superior kind of living and the recent regimes in China he was
18:21
cast aside as ancient and I lived and not one in the last five years however
18:28
he has come back to become probably the ideal of Chinese character namely
18:34
perfect poise integrity long sympathy everything under control nothing getting
18:42
away no temper fish no outbursts no revenge’s no hatred no bickerings no
18:52
slanders no effort to revenge or retaliate for real or imaginary wrongs
19:00
but quietly and serenely to live according to the three principles to do
19:07
this is therefore to conserve all resources to the greatest possible degree we will not waste energy if we
19:15
control ourselves without it being necessary to use energy to control
19:21
ourselves this is the difficulty we’ve put an iron fist on ourselves we lock
19:27
ourselves with a tremendous effort of the will as in the case of trying to break a bad habit but the energy that we
19:34
use to get over the bad habit is almost as detrimental in York usages as the habit was the thing is that we relaxed
19:43
away from anything that is not right we do not fight for a certain attitude we
19:51
right we relax away from that which interferes with that attitude and it is
19:57
like stark forties and a statue he was he told his friends that he got a barn
20:04
block of marble and then he cut away that part of the marble which didn’t belong and didn’t seem to work very well
20:10
when he got all through trimming the marble we had the statue now it made
20:16
much this way of taking the rougher granite of our own natures instead of
20:21
trying to dream all the time about the great artistry we are going to achieve
20:27
if we just rip away the parts that are not necessary if it’s Schiphol ways and
20:33
mistakes you can just simply quietly go about doing the things that are right if
20:39
we remove that which is unnecessary unreasonable unfair
20:45
dishonest or dishonorable just removing these things one at a time when we get
20:50
through the statue in all its beauty stands revealed to us the real self is
20:56
that which is revealed when the not self is overcome and the not strife has
21:03
overcome not by fighting it but by outgrowing it by living above it not
21:09
restrain and effort but with a very gentle quiet way of doing things it is
21:15
perfectly possible to be true to yourself to fight the good fight so-called
21:21
and to live a good and enlightened life without a great mass of conflict I know
21:29
for instance that in families now there are tremendous conflicts in which
21:35
individuals resent each other in which the family situation is falling apart
21:41
and the hard feeling is abroad in the land in almost all homes the only
21:48
answers of the situation is that all this bad feeling does not add up to anything the only answer to it is that
21:54
each individual must ultimately come to the point where he recognizes the need
22:00
to conserve energy by wasting none of it on distinction and therefore in a quiet
22:05
and pleasant way he adjusts to that which is necessary and he quietly steps
22:10
aside against that which is unnecessary he does all that it is suppose he should do
22:17
he does not walk out on our duty he does not avoid a responsibility he does not
22:23
reject the lesson but he accepts all of these things quietly and with dignity
22:28
this was the code of Francis the fish and it is a very difficult code to Excel
22:33
but it is also the code but in the weak energy restored energy is saved energy is
22:43
guarded by this type of thing know the if next phase of the energy is or every
22:49
attitude that we have has sometimes of a reflex on the body itself every tempest
22:55
it does much more than upset us emotionally it upsets the body chemistry
23:00
every mistake that we make in the personality every act of violence every
23:07
joining into riots into violence against society everything of this kind
23:14
accomplished is no good primarily but also damages the person who is guilty of
23:20
it now people will say well there are a hundred thousand people that don’t like something and are fighting it probably
23:27
true but the moment you join that group you will begin to destroy yourself and
23:34
each of those in that group is destroying themselves rather than achieving their ends and if we look
23:40
around us today to see what violence is producing we see that it produces nothing but violence and that violence
23:47
in our personal lives whether its intellectual or physical produce nothing but the stress so is all of these
23:54
emotional pressures jealousy and vanity and self-centeredness and rejection of
24:01
the common experiences of life mistakes of this kind interfere with helps they
24:07
begin to break down the body chemistry because the body itself like the body of
24:12
the solar system is an outlet it means for the expression of energy and when
24:18
the body is corrupted the flow of energy is disturbed the moment the flow of energy is disturbed various types of
24:26
obstruction arise and wherever obstruction arises in the human body dust that’s in obstruction is tension
24:34
tension arises from the misuse of energy and wherever it exists it must in every
24:41
possible way be relaxed now most people who come talk to you about these things
24:46
they yes they would be very happy to relax the energy get rid of the tension and do all these things if other people would
24:53
agree with them everyone would be able to live beautifully if somebody else
24:58
wasn’t interfering but there is always a person or a circumstance that is nagging
25:04
and this consequence forces the individual to build up these defences of
25:10
pension and stress this is entirely erroneous the more tension there is on the outside the more
25:16
need there is for complete internal passivity of peace now peace also
25:22
suggests a number of other things one how to where to find it well that’s
25:28
securing itself pretty much these days there’s no place you can go there is no
25:35
place where you can be sure that peace is going to stay very long there is no
25:40
security in human society today perhaps the first lesson this teacher this is to
25:46
get over the idea of escaping now we do still have certain monastic escapes that
25:53
retreats in places of this kind and somewhere in the midst of the distant mountains we find the Hermits who have
26:01
left society to cultivate their own reattachment but for the most part all
26:07
of these people have weakened themselves by these attitudes there is no way of
26:12
gaining a position in life where relaxation is available without personal
26:20
effort there is no relaxation unless the individual makes the changes within
26:26
himself if he makes these changes within himself relaxation is possible wherever
26:31
is there’s a little story about the Tibetan priests who do their meditation
26:37
of the surrounding a great Bell at guns all the time to disturb them and they don’t even hear
26:43
it you do not actually shut out the
26:50
sounds around you or the pressures you simply solve them by by dissolving them
26:57
in quietude wire – doesn’t mean to accept what you do not believe or
27:02
compromise anything required to give you the perfect calmness with which to make
27:08
the simple decision of right and wrong the simple solution of the problem without dramatization or emotional
27:15
ization comes as the result of internal quietude an internal quieted is the
27:22
thing that helps to protect energy resources within yourself without this
27:27
internal quiet ode your energy resources cannot be adequately preserved now
27:33
another problem that then comes along of course is that the body that its energies has a few remarks to make and a
27:41
few contributions to this problem today for example we have more people health
27:46
conscious in this country than probably ever before in history and I think it is
27:51
safe to say we have more sick people I read that long ago that we have 80
27:59
million people in this country reducing of whom 40 million are doing it wrong we
28:06
have people who are doing everything they can possibly do but what are the motives the motives to various forms of
28:16
Health have to be very carefully considered unless the motive for
28:21
reduction is more than merely cosmetic it is really very much a mistake because
28:29
the real reason of all things is to protect and preserve health and that
28:36
which is not necessary to the protection and preservation of health is not a worthy occupation for the health seeker
28:44
all kinds of extreme methods are being used mostly in an effort to compensate
28:51
for extreme the Inquisition we have people who have followed up to 200
28:59
different diets some of them of course we will never know what happened because
29:04
they didn’t last through the $200.00 around the middle of the list they
29:10
passed out but of course having passed out they issued no affidavit or made no
29:16
statement to discourage others they just all kept on going the problem with
29:22
health began is energy preservation and protection the purpose of food which is
29:29
of a derived largely from the great battery which we call the earth the
29:34
energy of food is to maintain and protect life any form of nutrition which
29:43
does not essentially fulfill this need is not necessary or advantageous many
29:51
people eat all kinds of things that make them miserable in an effort to accomplish some cosmetic result this is
29:58
not the answer if the person understands life if the
30:03
person comes into direct contact with the rules of the game naturally and of his own accord
30:13
keep those rules but if they are forced upon him by others or is lured into them
30:19
by ulterior motives then this is not true so in the matter of maintaining the
30:25
physical health begin the physical health depends upon the quietude of the
30:32
body and the fact that the body does that which it was created to do the body
30:39
has a purpose if that purpose is fulfilled the body is happy but if the
30:46
body is made this object of too much concern it becomes embarrassed and
30:52
begins to result in defects of health the body should be left very quietly to
30:59
the fulfillment of its own needs and on one occasion Plato referred to a young
31:07
dude in the Athenian column colony Alcibiades he said here we have a red
31:16
dagger in a jeweled sheet we have a body
31:22
that is just the body of a pump a body that is full covered with the finest
31:28
fragments in the greatest jewellery and which has the great pride in itself and inside it is nothing there is nothing
31:37
there but surface now this is something that ultimately will destroy the body
31:43
because surface alone leads to dissipation the body is a useful purpose
31:48
it is there for us to use if we abuse it
31:54
we suffer if we use it we gain a great deal of help and cooperation from it but
32:00
the body is not to be intended as the ruler of the life the body is not to be
32:07
taken as proceeding in authority or in purpose all the rest
32:13
existence we are not here to be servants of the place we are not here to devote
32:19
all our waking time to trying to develop muscle abroad we are here to use the
32:26
body as we would use a good vehicle if we have a good car we will keep it up
32:31
because we need it in the old days we had a horse buggy we fed the horse well
32:36
so that it was properly courage and stables in order that it might fulfill its purpose but gradually in this modern
32:44
world we have developed the the famous paint sign model saved the surface and
32:50
you save all most people kill themselves trying to save the surface so use the
32:57
body but decide how to use it and they recognize that in the conservation of
33:03
energy that the complete of the cooperation between the body and the
33:10
person in the body is necessary to energy conservation we have to plan our
33:18
lives I suppose ahamed was one of the best life planners that we know he
33:25
divided the 24 hour rule of the 24 hours of the day a 24 inch rule into three
33:33
eight-hour sections when you gave to the world to help and to carry on his
33:39
ministry in order that his Labor’s might be of service to God the second heat was
33:46
in the second eight hours he devoted to his family to his personal happiness
33:53
from growth to enjoying the reasonable and proper pleasures of life and the
34:00
third eight-hour period he gave over the sleep relaxation and
34:07
rest now this is not a bad type of division we would have many more healthy
34:14
people if we have the three divisions of time eight hours today we have very little at
34:20
that problem at the eight hours of work we had a little work done not long ago by some trades people who came in to
34:28
work we didn’t have to worry about the Nova lurking I can assure them they were
34:33
working by the bay they arrived at 10 o’clock in the morning and left at 3 in
34:39
the afternoon certainly this gave them plenty of energy to do something else with they
34:47
did not have to work from dawn to dark as we used to in the older days they did
34:53
not have to go out milk three or four cows before breakfast they had a great deal of time and eight hours devoted to
35:00
business transaction to career to employment is almost an
35:06
actual law today anyone works more than that gets overtime
35:12
so these hours for work or for service
35:17
or to go out and do the things that help others or to variously contribute to the
35:23
well-being of the community these possibilities fit well into the entire
35:28
period now the eight hours of sleep this is a little different but if you still
35:34
mostly abide by it and while we are asleep we don’t waste very much energy
35:39
but they sleep we also have a breaking down of the wear and tear of the bay and
35:46
if the working hours have been well used the sleeping hours will be reasonably
35:51
efficient sometimes we have difficulties everyone has them but for the most part
35:57
we’ll be able to keep that eight hour span pretty well the work is right
36:02
because the using the energies is given to us for work the rest is right because
36:07
we’re using it to relax and restore the energies the big problem is the remaining 8 hours here we have the 8
36:15
hours to do as we please here are the hours of self-improvement rest relaxation study pleasure
36:24
family friends children and I would say that this group of eight hours is a miserable condition at the present time
36:31
our idea now at eight hours of happiness and applied pleasure is television here
36:40
we sit and watch murders for eight hours and also occasion they get a brighter
36:46
moment from a commercial also if we are
36:52
not doing that we are doing all kinds of lists for useless things we are going
36:58
out drinking too much we’re keeping up a social life that doesn’t mean anything
37:04
we are possibly indulging in the narcotic culture all perhaps we are
37:13
simply sitting around fussing reading the newspaper worrying about the world
37:19
and very largely ignoring the better
37:24
type of life we not giving the children proper attention we’re not giving the family appropriate attention nothing is
37:32
falling apart now this is where the part of our psychic integration which
37:38
corresponds to the seven planets or the soul section of man Strayer nature a
37:44
spirit soul and body it is the soul structure which is the part that is
37:50
giving us the great trouble here we have conflicts we have confusions we have
37:56
ambitions or the roving common sense we have a gratification of sensory
38:01
perceptions without end we have a tremendous struggle for luxuries we are
38:08
afraid to economize we want to try to maintain a level of economics and is
38:13
falling apart underneath us and we are not doing anything with that is our
38:19
period which is perhaps one of the most important of our entire life we make a
38:25
living in one eight hour period and throw it away in another we work hard
38:32
something and when we got it it’s no good to it so we have to take this psychic area of our eight-hour period
38:42
and try to see what we can do to use it to reorganize our energy resources to
38:49
keep ourselves from wasting the energy that we ought to be building up we in
38:57
order to live and then we turn around and lay over conely to eat everything
39:02
gets into trouble it gets too much of everything so in this 8-hour period what we are
39:08
supposed to do is to develop the over self to provide the life with steering
39:15
gear Reviva are provided with negatives provided with opportunities to grow to
39:23
become better human beings and to become more significant human beings in the
39:28
sleeping period we a little better than vegetables we are sound asleep in the
39:34
working period we’re a little bit of the draught animals because we are laboring these are two things that has to be more
39:40
or less handy but in this other part this other third our humanity can take
39:46
over and it is especially important that our humanity does take over if we bring
39:53
to bring wish to bring a solution to any of the problems of modern living unless we make that part that a tower of rest
40:01
and relaxation very important we’re
40:06
never going to get out of the present problem we should use at least a good part of that in quest for basic
40:14
self-improvement we should study we think we should develop sounds this
40:22
8-hour period is the opportunity in our lives to bring something full out of ourselves
40:29
this is the part that is ourselves here is our chance to be ourselves we are not
40:36
John Smith while we’re working we’re not John Smith while we’re sleeping but we’re John Smith
40:43
take hold of our lives and build a personality for John Smith to make him
40:48
an important person to make him gradually unfold the resources so that
40:54
we leaves this world he will be better and not merely older than when he came
41:00
here to go out of this world at the end of 70 or 80 years knowing no more than
41:06
when we entered starting out by wanting to be wasteful and dying wasteful
41:13
actually beginning life full of opinions and dying with the same opinions or others just as bad this is a complete
41:21
loss of life it is a very interesting a
41:26
situation because something was brought to my personal attention little story on me many many years before the war I
41:34
inherited the Japanese husband I inherited him because I kept heading for
41:42
a couple of months to help me then I told him I couldn’t afford to keep him so he said he’d stay without pays it was
41:48
a beautiful arrangement but I was working very hard writing luxury out a
41:53
great deal of the time and my library at that time was in my home for one evening
41:59
I come home and here is I say my house boy sitting on the edge of a fireplace
42:05
in the living room with my choicest books piled up in front of him and a
42:10
beautiful fire burning in the grate I said what are you going to do officer he says I’m just going to burn them I said
42:18
they’re not yours he’s gone burning him well they belong to me you won’t be here to enjoy him and
42:25
he gave me a good subject oh and why it was that if I didn’t ease up a little bit there’d be no the rooster might have
42:32
anything that if you become dominated by some situation that prevents you from
42:38
being able to ventilate your own life you’ll ultimately get into trouble so it
42:45
is very important about eight hours of doing the things that enrich life one
42:52
way I think is to realize that in this area we have the whole field of the arts creative self-expression
42:59
now arts of course here’s where a little spot where I think the luma factor comes
43:05
in that part of the solar energy which has to do with our also bounces off of
43:10
the moon occasionally and produces what we call the bay so we say
43:16
post-impressionism art that you can’t do a thing with alright which does not have
43:22
about within it one bit of psychic life it does not help you to grow he does not
43:29
express any creative conviction and very often is motivated entirely by commercialism where are you’re wasting
43:36
your energy but you have to post your own censorship on this energy and the
43:41
use of it but creative art is very important music is important there were
43:48
the study of philosophy the individual gains a great deal begins even more
43:53
perhaps by spending more time with his children everything is important which
43:59
helps him to grow instead of merely to become richer or more powerful or to
44:07
shorten life by bringing about an impending coronary so the eight hours in
44:15
which we should do as we please and have time is probably the great texting time
44:21
of our it could ever our daily existence if there is anything that is involved in
44:27
the initiations into the ancient mysteries it was a study of time Cronus
44:34
the great god of time with his sickle and his hourglass grow this was a symbol
44:42
of all the bowring time all absorbing time and time finally drawing back into
44:48
itself everything that came from it or instead of us of Cronus that all of its
44:54
fear all of his own children because he devoured everything that existed within the fear of his existence time is
45:02
terribly important to it the time is also something in which we can grow time
45:08
