Anatomically, the elbow, or Olecranon is an outgrowth of bone of the Ulna. Upon it are tuberosities and liagments that fit it on the humerus. The humerus is directly connected to the scapula, which bone mass is situated on the back. If we are only going by the bones, a shoulder in general is misleading. What makes the shoulder, in the minds of everyday people, are the muscles that are positioned over the bones to create a bulky connected mass. The joint connection of humerus to scapula, and the out growth of the acromion that grows out of the spine of the scapula, which the clavical touches. The life in the muscles connects all these things, the long part of the tricep, which has its connecting points in both scapula and the thick tendon which connects the triceps to the elbow and it extends the lower arm at the elbow. of course the attention can be moved from shoulder to elbow, there are direct connections of the muscles. Deeper into the bone, it is different.

@@CirrowProductions there is some variation, but a book was recently released by Joseph Azize called "Gurdjieff Mysticism, Contemplation, & Exercises", in it he writes about the "Morning Preparation" that he was given by his teacher Mr. and Mrs. Adie, who were direct students of Mr. Gurdjieff. He gives the full exercise that were preserved. One highlighted similarity was the affirmation of digesting a quality of food from the air, which is specific.

@@ras9272 .. Joseph Azize is a credible student of Gurdjieff. In fact he’s one of the most qualified to teach both Gurdjieff philosophy & exercises.

Reflect on the Octave of Food, the Octave of Air and the Octave of Impressions. Notice how they form a unit and are intimately connected. Food creates the physical body. Mr. Gurdjieff said that we should not get identified with the physical body (Kathryn Hulme "Conversations with Gurdjieff") because it really belongs to the Earth. Air is connected to emotions and Essence. Mr. Gurdjieff also said we should not get identified with Essence because it is not our Essence but human Essence (ibid). Think of a drop of water temporarily removed from a glass of water to which it will return. Then there is the Octave of Impressions which leads to the "Real I" or the real self. That which is truly ours. Octave of Food - physical body: Earth Octave of Air - emotional body-Essence: Humanity Octave on Impressions - intellectual body: our Self In reverse: for myself, for humanity and for the Earth Herself.

The Toronto Hypnotherapist this is a distortion of the work. the voice is someone with egoism and not seeing. go do something else. yoi sound fake.

Thank you, William P.

@@willmurray222 , the voice is that of a hypnotist. If you recall, this was a specialty of Mr. G.

@@willmurray222 Be quiet Murray, all you have to offer is a criticism.

La sensación es a menudo difícil de sentir. Solo imagine la sensación mientras sigue las instrucciones de Allan Clews. La detección aparecerá eventualmente. No se desesperen. No te rindas. Las meditaciones guiadas de Gurdjieff de Allan son un regalo del cielo y deberían ser extremadamente útiles. ("Deseo YO SOY") ("DESEO SER")

Le agradezco me de estas recomendaciones. Voy a tratar de ser guiado por esta meditación. Le daré mis resultados más adelante. Muchas gracias.
