Stuck in the Sensations of the Senses and the Centres - (1888)

At the end of the day what the different "I's" are looking for and what we as the free essence get stuck in, are the sensations of the senses and the sensations of the centres.


If we examine it carefully,  we see that the "I's" produce certain sensations in our centres that we enjoy being reproduced. Especially the negative type of emotions such as sad nostalgia, loneliness, sentimentality, relationship break-downs etc.


The "I's" also build up a lot of structure and meaning on the sensations of the senses. We get attached to these meanings and the pleasure of these sensations.


We can help ourselves to get free by focussing on perceptions, the perceptions of the consciousness that see past these sensations. That is perceptions on realities and values that are much more important than being stuck on sense sensations and the sensations of the centres.


End (1888).
