Smelling: The Key to Enlightenment

The sense of smell has both an outer natural-sense, and an inner, spiritual sense. The inner sense corresponds to the faculty of discrimination. It is developed through the practice of smelling while nose-breathing. This is different from mouth breathing, because the interiors of the nostrils also correspond to the angelic or celestial sphere of Universal Love. The celestial sphere is the affection of good. It is all feeling. Smelling while breathing quiets the mind-chatter and lifts the consciousness to the rational or spiritual mind. In that silence the affection of good shines through the physical body and expands out into the spiritual body. We interpret it as the feeling of knowing, but it is the birth of faith. Not blind faith, because each knowing moment fills our consciousness with more light from faith. Through the sensations of love radiating outwards as faith, aligns us to the spiritual affections of good and truth. They are charity for all, and faith in humanity. This is the affection of the Brotherhood of Mankind. It is the feeling of mutual-love manifesting now during this Age of Aquarius. Each of us can do our part by bringing the energies into balance through meditation and by smelling while breathing.
