Life - it is the result of the exchanges we make with nature
What we call life is nothing other than the result of the exchanges we make with nature. Life is but a series of exchanges. The most obvious manifestations of this are eating and breathing, and if these exchanges are hindered, then weakness, illness and death will ensue. However, the exchanges we need in order to live are not limited to feeding ourselves and breathing. Or rather, we can say that they consist of feeding ourselves and breathing, but not merely on the physical plane. Nutrition and breathing symbolize the exchanges we also have to make with the different regions of the universe in order to feed our subtle bodies: the etheric, astral, mental, causal, buddhic and atmic bodies. When you understand how you can find nourishment in the universe that suits your various bodies, you will experience your life as a great symphony. But first, you must start by re-establishing communications so that the currents of energy can flow between the universe and yourself. And you can re-establish communications only by working with thought.
