Sensual Apparatus Behavior
This concerns the spontaneous, rather automatic, behavior of the sensual apparatus, as a whole and as it is divided into various approaches for apprehending the objects which it detects. There are also subconscious detections which are not realized by the knowing self. These operate in a zone which that self is unaware of. These hidden operations affect that knowing self by producing objective registers, or by causing changes of focus for the self, with that self realizing, or being ignorant, of the effects, but acting as suggested by a sense or by a group of senses.
The first observation about the behavior of the senses concerns their quest for objects which they may feed on. To acquire these, rays of searching energies are emitted with an intention to detect, collect, and consume an object. In the process of doing this, the self finds that it is not always successful in choosing the correct item. For instance, if someone is eager to see a red apple, the color red when seen by the visual sense, will cause a trigger to pursue, hunt for, and acquire the red thing. But if the red item is not an apple, if it is a red pepper, then once this is understood, the searching rays will reflexively release the object, and rapidly withdraw from it.
Much of this, the majority of it, occurs with no information being given to the objective self. This occurs so readily that the self has no idea that it took place. This is due to the design of the psyche and the way in which the coreSelf, the iPoint, is situated in reference to the adjuncts which it uses as a matter of course. These may be considered to be functions which have a mandatory relationship with the self, where on occasion these serve the self but otherwise, they have independent operations. The self does feel an enthusiasm or discouragement which is how it interprets the sensual quest.
Be keen in meditation to begin taking notes of these functions, most of which are involuntary. Some are rarely observed by the iPoint, the coreSelf, the objective person. Excitement is the flash notice to the coreSelf about the quest for a particular object. This excitement is a surge of seeking energy which comes from the kundalini lifeForce. Review the following sensual operations.
· Dispersing action to detect and collect sense data which emanates from desired objects, even objects which are new, and which do not have a reference for value.
· Converging on an object with intentions to acquire, arrest and force the object to be put into closer proximity to the self. This requires an in-draw, seizing, action, one of seizing the desired object. If, however, on closer inspection, the object is something unwanted, then the collection grabbing rays of energy will automatically attempt to withdraw, to pull back. If it can do so it will. Otherwise, there will be a struggle as the psyche exerts itself to withdraw.
In the dispersing phase, there is detection, analysis, acceptance, or rejection, with corresponding grabbing or releasing. If there is some doubt, where the self is uncertain as to whether the object is desired or unwanted, then there may be detection followed by further checking and hesitation to arrest the said object.
These movements in the psyche which are part of the grabbing attitude of the sensual quest, should be studied in details both in meditation and in normal perception. The iPoint should become aware of these operations. This perception leads to greater mind control and to development of the divine eye.
