Lesson 6: The Human Machine
- The human organism is a machine controlled by:
- External influences
- The multiple “ego”
- The external influences cause infinite changes in human psychology
- The succession of the “egos” depends on external circumstances.
- In this way, some egos appear and some other egos disappear.
- The human machine has no real freedom.
- All movements, actions, words, ideas, emotions and desires of the human machine are caused by external influences.
- Whoever wishes to stop being a machine, has to start by admitting and understanding his own mechanicity.
The 5 Psychological Centres
The Human Machine has 5 Psychological Centres
| Centre | Base | Functions | Poles | Speed |
|---|
| Intellectual | Brain | Thoughts, Notions, Reason | Concession / Contradiction | 4 (slow) |
| Emotional | Solar plexus | Emotions, Feelings, Moods | Pleasant feelings / Unpleasant feelings | 2 |
| Kinetic (motion) | Neck | Motion, Habits, Imitation, Speech | Movement / Rest | 3 |
| Instinct | Coccyx | Instincts, Organic functions, 5 Senses | Pleasure / Pain | 3 |
| Sexual | Sexual organs | Reproduction, Revival | Attraction / Repellence | 1 (fast) |
The Balance of the Centres
- When we abuse a centre we exhaust its vital values (energies) and life is reduced.
- In order to save the vital values, we have to switch centres when a centre is tired.
| Centre | Education (training) | Abuse |
|---|
| Intellectual | Good readings, Good discussions, Reflection, Meditation | Excessive reading, Quarrels, Many hours on computer |
| Emotional | Good music, Objective Art, Healthy Socialisation, Prayer | Disharmonious music, Television dramas, Emotional outbursts |
| Kinetic | Walking, Healthy sports, Physical-Esoteric Exercises, Handicrafts | Excessive work, Excessive athletic activities, Competitive sports |
| Instinct | Contact with Nature, Healthy way of life, Training the Senses, The key S.O.L. | Violent spectacles/movies, Violent sports, Extreme sports, Hunting |
| Sexual | Chastity, Transmutation, Revival | Lust, Animal passion, Perversions |
The Superior Centres
- We also own two superior centres:
- Superior Emotional
- Superior Intellectual
- These centres can only be used by the inner Being, not the “ego”.
- These superior centres are already fully developed and operational, but we do not respond to the messages that they send to us, because our consciousness is sleeping and our 5 centres are in disorder (in a mess).
- Often, our inner Being show to us some dreams via these centres in order to guide us and train us internally.
