Energies

We have begun our study of energies as we may observe and develop them within our living alchemical instrument. The energy or vibrational aspect is present in everything in the observable, objective sphere, as well as within our own subjective nature. 

Inner work on being depends on our ability to refine and concentrate the energies that are transformed in our organism.

Says John Bennett, a student of Gurdjieff: "Change in our being is possible because there are different energies of different levels so that our state is always a product of the combination of higher and lower actions. There is always a transformation of energy in us. The pattern of this transformation is what we are. It is our very life."

Our theme this week has been to notice the working of automatic energy. The associated being practice is to observe and struggle with unnecessary tension and movement. 

Can I work to do only what is necessary, leaving off unnecessary movement like fidgeting, gesticulating, giving more force to a task than is needed?
