Introspection

‘When Man is introspecting and thinks deeply, everything in him is penetrated by this silence; his senses are withdrawn, he is in his temple; his breathing is modified, appeasing itself and another rhythm, deeper, rarer, comes to pace, expand and lighten him. This rhythm is a very obscure and acute breathing of the being that ‘makes itself still’. It creates a void that is a call to its pure astral might, a concentration of its spiritual fire. Then, the thinker SEES into this luminosity, he takes back his previously experienced sensibility by him, recasts it in his soul and makes it a precious food composed of pure thought. This rhythm, this deep breathing, is of a human chlorophyll property, a GREEN asexual breathing, occult, that transports Man unto another level of being, under an internal Sun! The thinker, in this fathoming act upon himself, where all of his being is silent, is tree-like and impregnates himself; he is feminine, he is GREEN.’
