Human beings have 5 kinds of sense organs for the physical world - Nose:Smell, Ear:Listening, Eyes:Vision, Tongue:Taste, and Skin:Feel. Different people have different fascinations regarding these sensations.. If you've seen the movie 'Perfume', you would know how the sensitivity to fragrance was explored. A particular sensation has a deep impact on our emotions & psychology.. In Gurdjieff's words these are referred as the impression food.. He calls it the third kind of food.. The first one being the physical food that we eat, it combines with the matter in the body and undergoes transformation.. The second one is the air that we breath, which combines with the matter and energy in the chest. and the third food, that arrives through the senses and enters the head(brain), ultimately getting transformed into higher energies.
Strange !! Isn't it? We are eating the whole day ! Anything that we see, hear, smell, taste or feel(hot|cold - soft|rough texture).. and i guess all that we speak, which is also a function of the tongue, becomes the food for others.. Gosh, There's so much to SEE !
This is so thrilling ! We are always holding a camera, a speaker-MIC, a sound recorder, a taste collector and a touch sensor.. All these impressions accumulate in us. They make our life the way it's now ! The response to stimuli shapes our future ! ! It gives a great urge to be observant forever . .. ... Let's Observe together !

Dream becomes nightmare
As a child I used to love English.. I was so much awed by the simplicity of the language. It's quite obvious that everyone is searching for comforts.. and so was I. But I was partial in that love, as I had not considered the fact that writing would also mean expressing into 'words'. Being an introvert and abstract minded, I hardly have sound expressing words for situation and events in my life. To add to this, the gender also deprives me of free flowing speech - I realize that I lack the thought process needed to speak - write.. the logical mind is so trained to analyze, the senses are so trained to collect data and the heart is so trained to respond just fully.. that words hardly arise ! Moreover experiences by far now have been perplexing, leaving me dumb, numb and amazed.
I had never imagined expressing my self would be so difficult, that taking help of the fairer sex also seems in efficacious. One more reason being lack of vocabulary and techniques of expression as well.. also the attitude of speaking brief & smart leaves me wordless. Looking at the tons of information that the mind (left brain) is overloaded with, and the colossal of option that come to the brain (right brain), it is very difficult to decide what to say !
