Q. Can you tell us more regarding this Work?

A. No. Since your interest is not genuine. Even God could not tell you something if your interest is nto genuine. But I'm going to try to, since some of your readers might actually understand what is being said. It is like clearing accounts. Just think of the bank robbery or something you see on TV. Voila! There's nothing left on the accounts. You have zero point zero. This Work is like purification. Have you ever applied to some So and So in the Matter Such and Such? I'm just asking because people like you are extremely fond of using phrases such as rite of passage and reality test and so on without having a notion of what they meean. Now imagine if you can that your application is rejected. Now imagine this being repeated several times through the years. What comes about? You are so loaded with phrases, you should know. Purification, of course. Big purification. Purification comes about. The person in question is being purified.

I think this is the point. Like Moses, you have to befriend the rock of obstacles by hitting it with a stick, until the water flows. The water is well known purifying agent. Passive, as it were, but pre-eminently - ouch, I almost said pre-adamitically - effective. Thus NEW CHANCE is created. By means of purification, that is.

A. You are a well-known writer in Work cir-

Q. Bullshit. Just stop, now. I'd rather be dead than well-known writer. Personally, I have other needs. Beyond personal sphere, what has to be done is to create a new chance, a new possibility, a possibility that didn't existed before or was hidden or blocked. For one example among many, creation of a small, not too ambitious working group would be highly recommended. An then you should see these smart-face rites-of-passage taking their tail between the legs! You could only see their backs, I'm afraid, while they crawled away, as if you mentioned Devil to a Christian. But let's rather go back to the issue.

Q. Thank you for this captivating interview.

A. You will know you have been talking too much when you won't be able to rememeber what it was that you said. Weng-Lin-Yuen, for example, puts it succintly: Ten thousand things, he says, borrowed their name, he says, from the Great Mother, he says.

more on nuts&bolts of the teaching

(All that stuff about non-considering seems to me to be about not being internally affected by what people think (about you; about what is, after all, not their business etc.); at least if you can get near to that it must mean a big accomplishment. No intensification of effort alone, it seems, is sufficient to tweak it all up to the required degree, though. Change in the framework of ideas themselves is necessary. Ideas about what people know, and about what people are.)

The thesis that I, it seems, began to develop here, almost unwittingly, is that the Gospels are in high degree embodiment of very advanced level of teaching.

Personally, it was all motivated by notion, brought to me, as I believe, by my conscience and consciousness (quite distinct from mere self-picture), by the notion that I am quite ignorant (I think in this connection about one person, Ignorant, from Bunyan's Pilgrim) and, despite all endevour, simply stated, stupid, in short, a fool. Even more than that, I knew myself positively guilty of what is best described by the verse, I don't know the exact wording: hast thou seen a man who thinks he is wise? There's more hope for a fool than for him.

Later it popped up that that was indeed the centre-of-gravity of the whole business (in case you will had been just gotten jumped on the chair of thine again, Watson: of the matter), and that it was indeed the stone which breakes everything that it falls on, and the rock that will beware the house that's built on it, in, say, the storm.

Now the word that you will find in literature just beside the 'truth' is appearance, and phenomenon, and the like. And in the same breath it will be added something like, things are not what they appear to be. Special case of it would be that people are not what they appear to be. May have wolf's garment, but be a sheep. May be a wolf, but in sheep's clothes.

Then there's this approach, or method, that by certain authors that (that's my bet) most readers here know virtually nothing about, which we find so interesting and which says of itself that it is psychological, using this expression, it seems, in a very special and at the same time widened and deepend meaning. Following this method, we do not anymore ask primarily, what is truth, but certainly, how can the truth come about?

It further says that it comes about by the desire to know, and it speaks of things that may most probably hinder such desired development. Personally, I think that the terror that I felt, like, what, am I going to live and to die a FOOL? is one form that the said desire may take. In any case, to die like a dog seemed a preffered way to such, that's why I use 'terror' to describe it.

Concerning the above, we are given an advice to transform impressions as they come of themselves and it is said that self-remembering does it. Like most everybody else, I also did jump and said: how is this self-remembering? Where is it? How can I get to it? Gimme this magic pill! Later it showed up that it was indeed magic, but no more of that (because I am trying hard to gather my thoughts and don't want distractions for the time being.)

Yes, there this guy Jesus comes along. Of him it is said he did actually know a lot of things. (Of course, he could also perform wonderful works, but knowledge alone is appealing enough when you get into the above state.) He didn't need to be told anything because he himself knew what is in people, it is said. He knew of one man there that he will be with him in paradise on the same day. He didn't seem obsessed by proving that he knows, but he did have an interest to show things to people (I know, Father, that you hear even before I speak, but because of people I say...)

Why am I writing this? I mean, I, W.H.? Because I realized some things and am very excited about it, while enjoying royal privilege of perfect piece, rest and balance. In short, I could enjoy my royal privilege of perfect peace&balance, but then I exercised my royal privilege to disturb the mentioned enoying of my said royalty to tell you about it. But to be as honest as I can, I'll tell you the whole truth, how it really was. It was that I was enjoying this royal peace like a stream of perpetual and increasing knowledge, quite aware that such is the form in which usual, typical luciferic temptation appears, could appear, I must say, only if I allowed myself to combine the royal status with the usual stupidity of mine. So, I was on guard, as it were. Then my royal wish to tell you about it disturbed said peace and balance, and I excercised my royalties to maintain that balance. In short, went to my computer, which is almost in the next room of my royal station, and am now writing about it so my joy may be perfect, as John said, and Jung, I guess, added that perfect quite possibly also signifies: complete. I describe it as disturbance because some idiot might easily stand up and say, eh, Wh, bragging as usual, and I exercised my royal privilege to take that risk.

And what is it that I found out? I found out that Jesus, the sacrificial sheep, the meek and blameless idiot, and a speaker of blasphemy and proclaimer of the lunacy of the cross, and so on, was really a priest of the order of Doesn't Matter, and a World Conqueror as far as knowledge&experience and ability was concerned, and a King, fully exercising his royalties which in the Kingdom of his, where everybody is a King anyway, primarily mean to indulge in deep tranquility which only wisdom can give, thereby granting such King mastery over himself.

That means, if I may guess a little, that everything was knowingly enacted on the scenes, and that the whole drama, real drama, was just what His royal appetites longed to be faced with, the right challenge for him. Why did he did it? I can only speculate here, but I think he was moved with the royal wish of his to tell others about it and possibly help enfolding of the kingdom in them. He would have gladly lead them on the way, but when others 'saw' that what he is leading them to is everything but bliss, he was left alone. I say 'saw' because it seems to me that their own perception must have played a trick on them.

I could now stop but one thing seems curious to me because it is the same in the Gospels and in my own observation. In fact, in the Gospels it is much more developed than what I myself got to know. I said to know, without quotation marks, because it seems to me that It is even so. I remember some instances in my life when I said to some: I know you better than you know yourself. Later I grew terribly asshamed of my 'wisdom', and with reason. But now I have got to know what some people's 'master' commands them to do. Their 'master', their 'god', whom they possibly love, tells them to kill, and they kill daily. That's why the Gospels say that those who will kill them will think that they serve God. I couldn't identify the god they serve YET, "yet" indicating that I have some desire to do so, but the Gospels are much more advanced. They say clearly, for example, that by their fruits ye shall know them. And for a fruit to grow, you might HAVE TO wait a little, you know, a must without a caveat. Jesus said directly something like, I know you, you are murderers and liars, and now he says something mysterious. Your father is devil, and satan, he says. The father of all lies, he says. This, Watson, is a veritable mistery to unravel. Even God the Absolute seems comparably easy to solve, compared to that. Just look at something to be afraid of, I mean, somebody who was not afraid of all the contempt and death the archterror, be afraid of those who murder your soul, not your body.

In this connection I remember how I was always hating people who were 'smart'. Until once I did will have been caught myself, playing it smart against somebody who did nothing further than looking at me, and in a very warm way, I shall say, and I was busy with my own smartness and I didn't even fucking see what was right before me. I say fucking, Watson, because unpleasant it was, indeed it was, Watson. The 'smart' guy was me.

this is a true story.

there was a tree.

the tree has been borne fruit.

when the fruit reach the ground, twenty more trees sprung up, each bigger and more teeming with life and with richer fruit than the first.

strange things happened. but trees grew on.

on higher teaching - further tries

my words will remain, even when this earth and everything will be gone; things like this. Of course not actual written or spoken words are meant because they do not last THAT long.

he on whom this stone falls is gonna go to pieces. Characteristic of higher teaching too. When will it happen is not said, but it will happen. Now, it's not a literal stone, this is obvious. Something about incomparable power of higher class of ideas (Holy Spirit, if I may speculate.)

But this is just by the way.

Will not be forgiven. Of course, it might be, and it better be, but when you shit over the son of man all too often and all too much, it is because you hate the ideas themselves. Just speculating. No one belonging to a school can play a role which opposes the school.

Now to ordinay man everything foreign is a threat anyway. That's why it's no use talking to them. These 'teachings' are 'given' to religious leaders, and to state slaves. And lo and behold, when they eat them, their faces are merry, they are taught to pull faces that way every time they go a-murdering. State people are not so merry, at least not sincerely. They know too well that they are doomed if they go on daily in murder-approving, murder-practicing manner, yet they do it because it is their very job, their very wages depend on it. It will require a lot of hands-washing, and they are worried because no hands-washing will actually suffice in such case. Thus, Jesus is milder to Pilate than to anyone else. (In case you were asking if it is possible to know virtually everything about the methods of the state without practising them - the answer is yes.)

Next, we got the mob. This, simply, people. But, people something healthy, while mob always people plus newspapers, politics, 'culture', some indoctrination, some resentment, economic or matter of 'honor' or 'justice', or nationalism.

But let's take a look at religious authorities. Clearly, these are the initiators and executors of the murder(s) themselves, ok, they might urgently need the state sometimes. "He said he was God," that was his sin. And this is certainly outrageous and unheard blasphemy. I see the outlines of the problem along the following. That we are gods is obvious and nothing unusual, it's a most common and truistic truth that one can think of. Certainly nothing surprising. That esotericism exists because people in general do not know it is plain. That people for some curious reason go MAD if they are told this is apparent, at least to me. That they must be educated in this stage by stage, in intelligent way, and as a consequence of their own seeking and in accord with their own demand, is clear. (That some years ago I thought just the other way round does not change the matter. From 'terribly stupid' to 'moderately stupid' is a line of natural progression of things, and a non-reversible one.) Jesus' teaching was practical, and he certainly didn't come to announce the stupidity he was accused of. That's why he doesn't answer with 'I did say' or 'I didn't say it'.

It is possible to convince oneself that Steiner was not a murderer. The methods are outlined in previous posts. Just the same, Hubbard, he was not a murderer. Spalding, no murderer here. Eckhart, not a murderer. Even the worst of 'em all, notorious Greatbeastly Evilest Man Of England, didn't kill many peole, did he. G., N., O., not murderers, except that G. promised to 'kill' brunette titillations. Which leads to inescapable conclusion about organizatorial dynamics, my dear Watson, which also, as you remember, Krishnamurti alluded to in the familiar devil&truth anecdote. Inclination to truthful, careful and detailed research, these are the first fruits of Science, my dear Watson.

I really have been asking myself for YEARS what in the world makes them so angry. And why do they pull their faces so polite and merry when they are. But maybe I really SHOULDN'T try to understand everything, just like a program you are given and now use without going through its internal build, without figuring out every detail. All in all, that's what it boils down to: when you get connected to certain ideas, you begin to be hated. ALL the instances of these haters (I hope you are not saying: oh, I see, now you identify yourself with Jesus... But in case you do, I say once again that I AM INTERESTED in Jesus' ideas because I have noticed that also today's intellectual and theological world thinks it very strange that Jesus had any ideas... ), and I have seen many instances of them, tries to impress you with how smart they are and how powerful they are.

Some people DID, perhaps and probably involuntarily, made a lasting impression upon my astonished and thankful observation, to begin with. I would not call them 'haters', though. Bad for the above category, I must say, bad, as they are sure to fail with their desired result, and that is to force me to recognize them as big and true initiates. Crazy, eh? Who am I to... let's just drop it. Dead alley of thinking, will not lead anywhere. Maybe it is the other way round and they must be 'stupid in higher sense' to even engage in such 'evil' stupidities, neglecting what IS necessary.

Here are the results of my observations, which I do not at least understand. If you begin to study the Bible to intimately get to know Jesus' ideas you will fare as if you were Jesus himself. I admit it is crazy. Who am I to...?! Drop it, drop it. Crazy or not, this is the result of my observations.

Good! For it is getting brighter and I can already see that his fate must have been a joyous one. That he was a simple martyr who taught, among other impracticalities and utopias, to be stupid and engage in cultivating 'moral' and 'humble' character (particularly when faced with 'stronger' and 'more influential' people, eh?), is, after all, rather simple LIE, no matter how wide spread. He made himself God and he died because of the church of those days, but lo, he was God indeed and today's church is recognizing this and has put him on a pedestal. (Thank God he is dead.) For the state, he does not even exist, nor does he matter much, if at all. This is the strangest, the most incongruent story I have ever heard, Watson, what do you think? Nothing fits together. Maybe there's further clue in the book. Be it how it will, what we've got here is somebody who does not play the 'game' by seeing through it. And as a doctor it must have rather will had been gotten dropped to thoust hearded ears how 'games' effectively stop development in early years, shan't thou sayesth?

advanced teaching

advanced teaching, definition. What you get at by doing 'base' teaching as given, not demanding more than base (not very fortunate adjective) teaching. In that sense advanced teaching is everything there is and is equal to base teaching and vice versa. Yeah, it does not make much sense (only) defining it. Practically, could be defined by level (just) above you, and is thus different for different persons & situations. Researchers report that they always find it connected to will, and doing, and the like.

advanced teaching, uses. If you have faith, i.e. you believe in the messenger of the Work, or, most important, in what comes out of yourself, through yourself in moments that are typically different than 'ordinary' moments if you believe it. Why is faith, belief, so often talked about? Precisely from opposite reasons than in church. It is stressed because higher teaching is here, yet it LACKS normally present element of compulsion, of disregarding your own discernment/decision. Believe it or not. That's it. THAT why they who DO believe are lucky, for they CAN release potential that is hidden in the higher teaching. If you recognize presence of the higher teaching you are blessed. If you make your aim to remember it often, you multiply your blessing.

advanced teaching, example. There is an Order of Misery. When you Awaken, you won't want to participate in it any longer. You won't tolerate misery in its thousand forms in yourself. That is what those mysterious passages about Negative Emotion in Pompe were saying. There is more to it but I forget. Something about: to awaken from misery = to awaken from sleep. Something about: the key to it is will, and doing.

At first we study many aspects of the teaching. Then, the teaching becomes discernible in greater cohesion and synthesis and pithyfulness. That, then, would be theoretical definition of 'advanced teaching', so called.

Why did they do it?

No doubt one of the things the Sphinx is waiting for, ready to wait another eternity, is that people who approach it do approach it from the standpoint that its builders were cleverer than we are, "cleverer" not in the ordinary cunning sense of the word, but in (Man #8/chair)-ratio sense, etc. , cleverer in the full Work meaning of the word. Once this view of the matter is accepted and to some extent understood, some conclusions are inescapable.

As to the container of the idea itself, the builders chose aesthetically perfect geometry, endowed with manifold mathematical beauty (golden means and so on) which alone could be much expatiated upon. That's why even the cross-section alone produces rather agreeable impression: it can be shown easily that if the pyramid is goldmean-ish as to its surface then the cross-section is goldmean-ish in its sides too. Then, outer side triangles ('walls') will also be goldmean-ish, only in another sense, in their heights.

One point worth mentioning is certainly that if we think the floor square made up of 4 equal (square) tiles, taking tile side (half base side) as a unit, equations (mostly routine pyhtagorean squaring of triangles) take the simplest form, and the height of the pyramid (straight ray), side height, and length of pyramid's main skew edge (there are four of them main rays of course) are found to correspond to points 3,6,and 9 of the enneagram. Also, whole-number solution 84 (tile dim.), 107 (height), 136 (side height) and 160 (edge) meet the circle geometry pretty accurately, except the exaggerating 160, which, when applied, would give inclination of the slope 51^{o54" instead of usually used 51o51". By "circle geometry" I mean for example how 136/84 enters close, 600ppm-close correspondence to them dimensions of the circle with radius equal to height of the pyramid. It is easy to find this information elsewhere if you are interested. Now if you want - in fact you need it if you want to further pursue the inquiry - some feeling of appreciation of these 'facts', you should spend some time with them pictures and numbers and books on elementary mathematics and calculators and special software and pencil and what not.}

Note that until now we have only considered shape, and, without getting into business of the dimensions of the building themselves, tried to create tools for eventual understanding of the underlying idea: through the mathematics of the pure shape. But, if we decide to begin with The Great Pyramid with the side of 230m, I forget the decimals, we will find, using quite elementary methods developed and explained in previous posts, that source of light (perhaps incoming ray splitting) at the top would well resonate with the edges, emitting violet light, reaching the ground, creating secondary sources, and resonate with the ground square sides at similar violet emittance while taking blue hue. Triangles would be dark in the middle, only the eight edges of the pyramid would glow in violet/blue light. But, if we somehow would be enabled to perceive an octave higher, somehow crossing the blackout area between violet and red, we would discover that side heights - this is where the inscribed cone is showed on the outside - are, without doubt, red. There is tighter orange cone inside it, yellow one, green and so on towards the vertical middle, where greenly colored ray (perhaps the one which at splitting directly hit the earth) represents pyramidical height itself. (Other, smaller pyramids give other lengths and therefore other colors.)

------

It is there to remind us of something. We have become experts in outer clothing, experts of shape and detail. But every symbol, cross, enneagram, pyramid, whatever of this kind, must have been handed on to be connected with idea to burn, as it were, the idea which is not to be forgotten into the mind of the would-be individual. In this Work, perhaps not so obviously, the secret of accessing symbols' meaning is revealed. If symbol has no or wrong or too superficial meaning it is of no use or tragically brings about quite another result than that for which it was designed. Symbols are obviously 'power toys', even for the more adept ones, and the first step towards their unfolding is recognizing that what they mean is primary and not how they look. The very existence of it all means - for those not eternally-stupid - that people are APT TO FORGET and that the higher beings think that this is 1. not necessary; 2. not desirable. 3. Higher being(s) do/did something about it as well.

There is universal symbolics of the four animals, four elements and so on. On the floor, there is sufficient number of 'I's. No Steward/Master/Deputy Steward circle or whatever other circle far away here. Here we are expressly, intentionally shown something fifth. In general, this shape must have to do with the way from Man #4 to Man #5, and relation between man #4 and Man #5. Chambers something connected with Higher Centers. Entire thing in its precision and beauty telling us something about what attitudes when looking at things or doing something are worthy of emulation. About the power of qualitative, psychological approach. About the thing that the big practical principles must be given shortly, simply and gracefully, otherwise they become the limiting factor. Seen as a mountain, it has formidable slope inclination. Must be carefull not to fall.

O. seems to try to laugh out the guys with their almost English inches and royal cubits and astronomical extrapolation of the building right now still travelling highways from Sirius to Orion's double hubblepubble. O. states that he knew to some extent why the whirling dervishes did it but also that it cannot be told. Right. We are lucky he didn't say that it cannot be known.
