Normally the mind is weak and we are controlled by our emotions, causing sickness and lack of potential free energy.
As Gurdjieff states the West relies on dualism -- whereas he relies on the Law of Three. There is an exception though in the West -- THE TRIODE AMPLIFIER.
To turn your mind into a triode amplifier you first need a PRE-AMP. The I-thought -- without visions and without words -- is the pre-amp grid which reverses and amplifies the weak current that normally exists in our brain.
80% of our brain's energy is used for vision but when we are asleep people rely on sound to wake us. Just as Einstein used the Doppler Effect to develop his theory of relativity -- so too does the phase-shift of frequency create a significant increase in amplitude. That's the secret of quantum chaos Brian Goodwin -- a biologist who authored "Temporal Order of Cells" and is now the inspiration for digital biology at M.I.T. Basically Kirkhoff's Law -- harmonic functions -- apply equally to mechanical and electrical systems.
So back to your brain -- the pineal gland exists between the ears -- in the center of the head. When we hold onto the I-thought we activate the pineal gland as the pre-amp grid, just like a triode tube amp.
So normally there's ALWAYS a weak current between the inner ears -- the grid of the I-thought blocks that current and then amplifies it as a reversed current -- a 180 degree shift.
This is just like how pedaling a bike makes you go forward -- but you can't explain this to someone, they just have to learn how to do it. The first time I was lied to, that I remember, was when I was taught how to ride a bike. The mind or talking and seeing is cheap. We learn through experience.
Einstein liked to use bike riding as a metaphor -- just keeping moving so we off-set the inertia which normally makes the wheels wobble side to side. You can see this by holding a wheel at the axle and spinning it -- you can't hold it because it wobbles side to side.
So gravity is just the velocity and acceleration of the forward motion while the mass causes the inertia. Intensity of energy is actually caused by frequency, not mass as amplitude. So gravity uses logarithmic math while quantum energy uses divide and average statistics but BOTH are dualistic. The triode amp is different -- it uses Gurdjieff's Law of Three whereby the I-thought, as the Pre-Amp, harmonizes the Will and Consciousness.
The amplified current is the kidney energy (will), the spinning of the wheel, is the reverse breathing, activated through the I-thought.
But remember -- the whole system relies on putting that PRE-AMPLIFIER or grid in place.
Gurdjieff emphasized that most Western alchemists just focused on the chemistry - what Taoists call the Jing -- and therefore the energy level was just left at the emotional level.
He said the reason is because the West is too materialistic and didn't take into account that alchemy starts with the I-thought. So will power is driven by the I-thought -- the YI or intention in Taoism -- reverses the desire of what our eyes see, so that the weak current between our ears now, with the pre-amp in place -- the grid of the I-thought, is activated, reversed and AMPLIFIED.
Welcome to your new triode amplifier system -- enjoy it's hi-fi quality! haha.
