a 'work' site; infection with _the_ teaching urge; could be, by graceful texts of P.D. Ouspensky; it happens when people _are_ but also when they are _not_ e.g. bloggers, writers, teachers etc., i.e. & so on down the scale. Symptoms stronger if such had the privilege of enjoying erudition of Gurdjieff, or had their understanding nourished by Nicoll's Commentaries' unmistakable feel. Maybe during childhood. Maybe some are to experience the symptom, _yet_... time is relative.

Here the ways part. One's got to choose. Submit to the public opinion and you end up a murderer. Side with the worldly authority, bureaucratic rules-procedures/police/prison/military supported authority and in one way or another you end up a murderer. No more development for you. It's the same if you feel or be of the opinion that the agency of repression has greater power, or right to cripple an individual, or something. Now you really have something to cry over. (For this is precisely what is not true. What is true is that stupid, evil, blind, computer-supported injustice has no power over usually far greater number of individuals who are aware of the fact and act accordingly. Machines are not aware of the fact. There's huge amount of mechanical suffering but no tragedy. But, some are aware but do not act accordingly and there you have it all, the whole drama.)

Take this byway if you want to stop before reaching the Aim, just before the last chapters of the (choose one of the four) Gospel, making it having never even heard of the Work a preferrable alternative. There's also a suggestion of destroying your chances for some time to come. In the extreme case you will clearly see who or what is the real king, and eventually declare it. No, baby. Won't help either. The machine has seen the truth and 'chose' to remain a machine (possibly a machine that is converted to worship of extraneous superbeing or a machine that contemptuously declares that there is injustice in the world, to name two optimistic versions). It's suicide in the machine, of the machine itself, more precisely, final overruling of that-in-the-mechanism which is not mechanical.

Both choices are clearly depicted, but people don't seem to realize that the Gospels are addressing them personally. They are, and they have something special and intimate and practical to tell you, in any case if you, because of the magnetic center, wish to become man #4. [Something that even I, W.H., couldn't do even if I tried. (Well, I don't try and don't intend to.) Such is indisputable value of the Bible! Even I, His Enlightened (well said, for I am enlightened -- and so are you) Majesty (what is so magnificent about me remains a mistery to my keen sense of observation, but there must be a reason, I keep telling myself) W.H. cannot etc. etc. etc.]

Also, probably, Pilate went 'inside' himself, to consult Jesus [who, at the time such 'consultations' take place, is already taken care of and typically appears on the scene ten thousand times stronger than usual] and was given an answer without words, in silence (in which often the Truth is best heard), and fear of God befell him, then turned to the 'outside', where ordinary fears and threats were roaring. What he did is written down for us. Noumenal world said to the phenomenal world Follow Me, outer world said screw you. He saved his life but, in fact, lost it, as we saw. Or, he saved his ass, some could say; [not me, though, I am never so vulgar, I take care always to behave decently. Improper, regrettably wild mode of expressing oneself is not necessary, and it is not profitable as well. It is shocking, scandalous, we're deeply concerned how some people all too often seem not to pay due measure of attention to these matters. THIS NO NEED!!!! indeed! I so sad how such people stupid! Though, wait, why, lo, and behold, there's more than that at the same time, what the fuck, I must say, the point of the story is not a dilemma of choosing decent vs. indecent behavior, is it.]

(Note. Religious expression "fear of God" has to do with certain depth of self-remembering.) [Note. Having bracketed out the worst outbursts of folly, [[IS IT SPRING'S FAULt?????!!!]] I can now entrust this blog with further care for this entry.]
