an egg with butter and salt, and after the egg is
there anything in the world lovelier than fresh
warm bread and a mug of sweet golden tea?”

G.I. Gurdjieff taught that man takes in three different types of ‘food’, ranging from gross to subtle.The grossest form is food and water, taken in through the mouth. A subtler form of ‘food’ is air, taken in through the nose. The most subtle form of ‘food’ is sensory impressions, taken in through the senses. In each case, the organism must ‘digest’ what is taken in, such that it can separate what it can use from what it cannot, transmute the usable into energy, and excrete the unusable.
Through the senses we acquire information as well as sensations, which are related to the senses in a more than etymological way.The wider meaning of the word senses refers to not only the range of feelings, not simply what we experience through our senses but also the sentiments surging within us. For instance the feelings for love, the sense of beauty.
