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
