Impressions as food.
In order to survive the human body needs three things according to the book ISOTM. The first being Food/Water, without food we can survive for about a week or so. Without water only a few days. The next source of food is oxygen without it we can only last a few minutes and the last type of food is impressions. In the book it says without impressions we would be dead instantly.
I would like to touch on the topic of impressions as food a little bit more and I have a few questions…
Why do we dream? Is this to give our body constant impressions during sleep or else we would die?
If you have a problem and you need a solution would the best way to think of the answer to this problem be to sit in solitary confinement/ a room with no objects just walls. In other words minimize the impressions so that your mind body is totally free to think about the problem?
Is this why people like drama, and have more than they need because some people like to over eat impressions sort of like over eating food, they are addicted and like to be full of impressions?
Also to me after doing a little bit of this work I agree 100% that our body is a machine but after hearing about the impressions as constant food I feel that our body/mind is constantly distracted making it harder to perform the work, form a single I, find out why we are hear and our souls purpose. Not that it cant be done but it seems that our body sets us up for failure. It seems that in order to be successful at the work we have to OVERCOME a few things. Either that or everything is so simple and we complicate things….Could be totally off just thinking out loud trying to clear up a few questions.
