So when we introduce these ideas that man is a machine, it then becomes possible to expand on this idea.

We have been described by Gurdjieff as a three story factory.

Each floor has different machinery which serves different purposes and the factory as a whole should be able to produce fuel for the higher machines by refining the crude fuel which is used to fuel the lowest floor.

So how to produce enough refined energy to realize man's potential (an astral body).

One issue is wrong work of centers, the other issue is imagination and identification. And they are all related.
