Calisthenics October 1982 LOGOIC ACTION SOUNDING --- BROTHERHOOD ASPECTS --- PARTICIPANT ASPECTS SURVIVAL VERSES YOUR REASON TO BE ON EARTH COMMITMENT -- HOLOGRAM To begin I want to explain a few things: Logoic Action: We have spoken of the Christ. As you know, Christ is understood in different ways, depending upon your education. There is Jesus, known in Christian religion, this is the personal aspect. For those who have studied a bit deeper you have Maitreya, who is a kind of Christ figure. But there is a definition in the Bible that is somewhat different, and this is the one that we use. In St. John, chapter one, it is said: "In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through Him all things came to be and no single thing was created without Him". In this respect the Word symbolically represents the creator aspect of God. This is the way we use it, and the application of it has different levels. Traditionally speaking a Logos is a term used to describe the "intelligence" or "spirit" whose body is the planet. So, the Word is neither a person nor a being in the Hierarchy, however high. The lowest aspect of the Word (and I do say lowest) would be the being whose body is this planet. Sounding: I have spoken of sounding the Word. This kind of action is completely unknown to all of you. The sounding of the Word is done by those who are in relation with the Planetary Logos, or possibly the Solar Logos, possibly something utterly different (which I am going to try to show you later with the hologram). Brotherhood Aspect: The term "Brotherhood" is used, usually, to designate those who have shown abilities that are sometimes translated as initiations -- those who take things seriously and who come together to work. They have some awareness of what is happening on earth, and they have a grasp of the fuller (usually called "higher" life). This does not mean that they leave their human condition to go to heaven, no, they bring heaven to earth and express it here. Participants Aspect: This covers all those who come to these groups who can help to cycle or make operative the changes we bring down to what is called "soul level". We leave it to each one to bring it out
through the person and possibly to spread it around -- this is what I call "cycling". This does not mean preaching or missionary work, it means you bring out the ability and awaken it in others. But t; do this you have to stand behind what you do. It's not what you say that is important, it's what you do. We come into a period where you have to be able to do things, not grasp, believe, or understand. Jesus said: "You will do the same things and still greater ones". It implies a serious change of position -- doing things instead of discussing them or dreaming about them. When we are here and we work together something happens in the fields around you and the socalled "higher" aspect in you is activated. Little by little you will understand that it's not a matter of mind, you can do it with or without the mind. But this has to come out actively in life and this is your task. There won't be much change in your person as long as you don't do it, but as soon as you start moving then you will see the changes. Survival vs. Your Reason to be on Earth: I want you to become aware of two points: The first I call "survival". Survival is what you do to get food, shelter, and clothing. You can have a bare survival ability, or you can have a better survival ability so that you can make things a little more comfortable than with just the bare necessities. Then, besides survival, there is your reason to be on earth. This is a lot more serious. Average people do not care about their reason to be on earth. They think in terms of survival, making life nicer and nicer. You have those, for instance, who want to make money. It's a goal of life for quite a few people. So, in case you don't know in which category this is, this is what I call survival. Now some people can put their money to a use that goes beyond themselves, so this is more than survival, and maybe (I say maybe) their reason to be on earth expresses through this means. Or you find people who are dedicated to some kind of social work. Most dedication of this kind belongs to the category of survival. When I speak of your reason to be on earth, I mean something else. It means changing the quality of life for mankind, and not just survival-wise. It involves helping man, as being, to come out as creator. Man was made in the image and likeness of God -- meaning he is basically a creator. Commitment: The Statement of Purpose speaks of "a readiness for commitment". When you touch your reason to be on earth, and you are mature enough to respond, then obviously you are committed. You cannot express your reason to be on earth (your task) without being committed. We have the need to stress commitment, and also responsibility, because in the society today no one wants to take any responsibility. In the spiritual life, if you are assigned a task to do, you do
it, with no questions asked. If you accept a task then you do it, your acceptance means that the full responsibility is yours. o You cannot say: III am tired,or "I am not well today", or "It's too much for me". Once you have accepted you begin and that's it. There are people who have this kind of commitment in their lives, but as far as others go there is a lot to be learned. In science when you do an experiment you have facts in front of you and you have to subject your whole personality, your thoughts, your hopes, your emotionality, your whatever, to those facts. If the experiment does not go in the direction you had hoped it would go you have to bend to that. In spirituality it is worse. When you first begin to work you have some leeway, but when you are really professional there is no leeway and you have to do it whatever the cost. Sometime I try to stress the point that spiritual work is more demanding than science. Most people don't understand that because they have been trained to seek spirituality as a refuge or an escape from the hardships of life. Actually, spiritual work might ask all the sacrifices you can make, including your life. If you want to measure: In the past, what is called the fourth initiation was asking the life of the initiate. He had to ask for a cause and lose his life for it. Jesus is a typical example. You also have people who do it in ordinary life. I remember a young man in a flood who went to rescue one person, then a second and a third, and when he went back for the fourth he did not come back. The need to rescue was greater than his consideration for himself. This has to be learned; working with no desire for personal reward of any kind. You work for the sake of the work, or with whatever connection you have, or with whatever is higher. There is one more thing I would like to say before we go on to the hologram. The mind is very simplistic. You have people who say: "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are", or "Tell me what you read and I'll tell you what you are". This sometimes works surprisingly well to describe a personality, but it does not work to describe what is behind -- the whole of it. We can only speak in terms of analogy with the known, and it takes daily work for a very long time for your mind to face and live a situation in which there are no projections whatsoever of known elements. As an example: We are here together in this room and the first thing you notice are the people because you are used to seeing in terms of people and things. Now suppose we adopt the view of the new physicist, i.e., that the particle is a result of the dynamics of the whole -- that's already a lot better. Of course you may not be used to following dynamics, so I'll give you an image of what it means: In Zen training they use the proposition of the bottomless pit. You drop a stone into the pit and you follow the movement of the stone. If you follow sufficiently, the pit disappears. If you continue to follow the movement of the stone, the stone disappears. The stone is gone, the pit is gone, but you still follow the movement.
Most people take this as an intellectual image, but I can tell you that it is not an image. It is a reality, and you can do it -- you can follow a movement without an object. But training implies a lot more than people think. For instance, you might follow the stone, falling through the earth until it's gone. What most people do is simply make a blank on the image of the stone so that it appears to be gone, but they are still following the stone. It takes a long time of training to be able to actually follow the movement.
= ( S ) in text below = ( ) in text below = in text below Hologram: Now we are going to deal with the hologram. Of course, it is not a hologram, but I call it that because the first time I saw it, I saw it as a three-dimensional picture in space (actually it was a void). The hologram represents the whole field of creation. In the upper left corner of the drawing you will recognize the square diagram found in Prelude to the New Man. The square is an expression of the ( ) symbol. If you've a little imagination this symbol looks something like a slice of watermelon. The protective layer around the watermelon is what we call the gap of amnesia. It is what prevents you from living the whole. I also call what is represented by the ( ) symbol the greenhorn condition. It represents the current position of mankind. You will notice on the drawing that there are solid lines relating the greenhorn condition to the square diagram, meaning the greenhorn condition is symbolized here (square diagram) as the whole field in which things happen. There is also a broken line relating the core of to the core of the square diagram. We call this core activity. "Core" means the deepest center in you. But it's not located geographically, it can be in the center of any cell. In the drawing we have three main symbols. The at the top left; the in the center, which contains the same component as the first, plus other aspects, and is the center of gravity for
mankind; and the ( S ), where you have the same components as the first two plus something you find in the greenhorn condition ( ). We call this last symbol the spaceship. Man is to become a spaceship, symbolically speaking, at home anywhere, sitting on the ground or deep in space. These symbols, and ( S ), represent other orders of life. Your real self is in another order of life. So, let's begin and we will use language as symbolic as possible. The symbol ( S ), represents the spaceship condition, and the one building the spaceship is the Pilot. Pilot and God are the same. You cannot define the Pilot by any known reference from the field of creation. It's an absolute discipline. Every time you connect to the word "God" you have a tendency to give attributes. When the Pilot dwells in All-Encompassing Love He is said to be the knower. He is said to be, not he is. And you can be sure that if you don't discipline your mind you will say that He is the knower. From now on, don't do it anymore. If you join the Pilot in the All-Encompassing Condition you don't join the seer, you join the Pilot. When you join the Pilot i n All-Encompassing Love, you don't join the knower, you join the Pilot. When you join the Pilot in All-Encompassing Beauty ( S ), you don't join the doer, you join the Pilot. He is not the seer, knower, or doer -- He is only said to be. Respect that discipline, and please do it seriously. It involves a lot of respecting. You have some dynamics developing when the Pilot dwells at and this gives what is known as the seer. At it gives what is known as the knower, and at ( S )it gives the doer. It also gives the spaceship. Another discipline: We call changes within the small squares and sub-divisions of the small squares in the square diagram changes in dimension. We symbolically show there nine dimensions. The symbols, and ( S ) we call other orders. We restrict the word dimension to a given order, and to make a difference, we call a different order of life "something totally different" or simply "different". This means that none of the references from one order is valid in another order. Now:,, if you want to be precise, I am using language belonging to the order symbolized by ( ). So, for instance, at, which is another order, "none" does not exist, "reference" does not exist, "order" does not exist. These are references belonging to this ( ). order. We play with other orders, whether you are aware of it or not. In order to play the game of the hologram you have to discipline your consciousness, sensory, emotional and mind, to accept and realize that another order, for instance, does not correspond to any of the definitions you know at ( ).. It is only when you learn to respect this, really, that possibly other orders begin to make sense -- meaning you discover them. Remember: something totally different is something totally different. Another point: You have a line going from the center of to the center of the square diagram. This represents what I call "core action" If you want to locate a core action you find it in the
core of whatever,you consider. Core is what gives life. Life depends on. Your center of gravity is located where life is. In case you wonder how it is possible to work from another order of life, I have to remind you of some of the experiences you have had here. So, if I tell you that you have to discipline yourself not to project any known reference from to ( ), I mean learn to face. At ( ) you have something you can handle but at, it is utterly empty. Learn to stay in front of that, refusing to define anything that pops up, because whatever definition you give obviously belongs to the order ( ). If in a given situation you suddenly face something very different, your mind has a tendency to formulate it right away. If that "very different" smells of another order, refuse, flatly refuse,to define it. As soon as you say "it looks like..." you reduce it to what you know, and you lose the chance of living differently. It is a discipline to be respected. Learn to face what gives life. Now one very tempting projection "to be aware". Awareness is a faculty that exists at ( ). This, being very different, we cannot speak of awareness. But you say: "God is All-Encompassing, so He has all the awareness". No, He has none. I told you, the Pilot is not from the field of creation, and if there are functions in the field of creation we call "awareness", we have no right to project these attributes onto the Pilot. But, if you watch your awaring functions very closely you will notice that there is always a certain amount of no awareness that makes sense. Surprising? one day you will learn to work with that. You might wonder why I insist on applying certain logic. Let's take an example from the square diagram: Humanity is in the sixth slice (or column) of time. We have three centers of awareness active. We are on the borderline, and we will soon have five active. We are very close. Right now you experience the mind in the head, feelings in the heart, movements in the basin (legs). You use your head as an extension of the au (heart). Now how do you suppose you are going to make the next step, i.e., the opening of the ma if you persist in locating all mental functioning in the head. You give yourself no chance to discover the presence of different types of functions that belong to the A region. Suddenly you face a practical situation. In your everyday life you do not respect the presence of three centers in the head. You cover it up with the noise of the mind belonging to the heart. It is the exact same problem of respect, of not projecting one order of life onto another. Projection is a feature you have at ( ), after that you don't make projections anymore. I wonder if you realize that with your understanding of evolving and developing and so on, you have a translation in time, one slice after the other. Let's say you approach the time we are now in where you have two new centers opening. if you start living that new possibility, and you persist in minding it or translating it through your mind, you reduce it and you don't take the next step. You can be mature enough to face the big change and miss it simply by the persistence of old habits. Translating instead of respecting the newness, you translate according to what you know.
When we are together you live differently, and the first thing that you do is define points with your mind, and lose what you actually live. Don't oblige it to squeeze into what you already know. This applies to your experiences with us, but it also applies to your everyday experience. You always have a good amount of experiencing that is beyond your usual system of references. you have to learn to respect it. Speaking of projection, in the understanding of evolution, man has a linear idea which would translate as coming from to ( ) and going over to ( S ). It doesn't work that way. The translation goes from to to ( S ). It's a diagonal line that crosses the hologram and does not touch the greenhorn. The greenhorn experience is "used", symbolically speaking, on the level and then the whole translates further into ( S ). I say this for one reason. There is something given in occult law that is terribly misunderstood. Nature built a body for human use and man has to learn to master it more and more until it is fully mastered, meaning the nature support will no longer be needed. What is not understood is that the polarity of the body changes. Man is a spirit being and if he masters the body the body is going to become positive. So much for your dreams of refining the body until it is spiritualized. But don't tackle the mastery of the body before you have an awareness of changes in polarity, otherwise you will be dealing with a nature body. You have to take over, and this is a very serious job. You have to learn to face life. Face life, not dreams, so that when you build the spaceship you deal with a positive body. St. John of the Cross calls it Corpus Christi. It is another polarity. It feels different, it is different. So forget about trying to imagine the condition you live at ( ) and making an extension to ( S ). No, when you build a physical body it builds up from the diagonal movement from to ( S ). Of course, you can also see it differently, you can take the position of the Pilot, but that's another story. For now in your consciousness you just imagine that it is utterly impossible, and as long as you have that bright imagination it is utterly impossible. Something else, as far as discipline is concerned.we have three orders of life and you are naturally tempted to say that this is A, U, M expressed in a different way. Not exactly. In the past we have used three types of music: Paganini for the A, Chopin for the U, and Mozart for the M. We are going to-play Paginini now, but according to the hologram. Remember your references are no good. There is an air of something that is different. Well, see for yourself. (Music) Remember the teaching: When the Pilot dwells in the All-Encompassing Condition He is said to be the seer. And please note that the teaching is "When the Pilot dwells in the All-Encompassing Condition...", it is not "When the Pilot radiates the All-Encompassing Condition...". If you follow what you live, All-Encompassingness makes sense. You don't know how, but you still live it. You will also notice that around the heads, possibly slightly above, you have a hint of an A, but it is not the A you have known. You obviously live the music in a different way, a way that does not deny the A, but rather creates it. So, you cannot say the the A function is symbolized by. No, it is not. The A is an outcome of this function at the greenhorn level.
You will also notice that if we proceed that way the life of the A is tremendously vaster than any A you have experienced. It reminds me of something that Jesus said: "It's not me but the Father in Me". This language is real and symbolic at the same time. You find it again in the relation of the earth to the sun. The sun is represented by, it this is what gives life. The earth is represented by ( ). Or, you are ( ) and is the Father in you -- until you are an adult and then the Father is the Pilot. Do you begin to grasp the discipline you have to exert on your own awareness to not be carried away by the opinions you have. The personality has to be trained and that's just the beginning. You have to bring through and out of the personality that constitution that is positive. We are involved in an action for the spaceship and this implies incarnating as much as you can of that positive structure into the greenhorn condition.we are not there yet, but that's no reason not to work for it. As long as you have a personality there is a dichotomy, meaning you have that veil active around. You have a higher self "somewhere" and so on. You intuit or even live a little bit higher condition, but as long as the veil is as active as it usually is, bringing out something real is a vast illusion. Somewhere else Jesus said: "The Father and I are one". This implies a very serious reeducation of the personal consciousness, and doing it conceptually does not work. To deal with life you have to live it. Okay, so now we will play Chopin. Don't project anything. It's another order of life. It's not the love that you know. (Music) Again, you observe a hint of U in.the head, but what you live is not defined by that. What you live is enormously vaster. Incidentally, for those who have a more mature awareness, recognize what Love is and what it does. This is All-Encompassing Love. You will notice that it is not something emanating from you that you can direct upon someone. It is All-Encompassing and All-Encompassingness is something very different from the reduced image of you loving someone, or you loving mankind. All-Encompassingness is All-Encompassingness. I wish that you understood what I call symbolic language, and I hope that someday a few of you will tackle that more seriously. When you understand the use of symbolism you can, for instance, easily recognize that if we play All-Encompassing Love there is something that responds on the personal level in a certain way. Then, if you tune to another octave you have another kind of response, and on another octave still another kind. You don't stop at one octave. You might recognize one given point at first, and then you see a symbolic relation all through. Then you begin to realize that an action never plays at one point only. If you understand symbolism it gives you the ability to follow different octaves simultaneously and live the relation.
But again, you cannot project. Let's take an example. Try to remember or awaken the U as you once trained it and realize how terribly different it is from what you just experienced. The U function is created by the Pilot dwelling in All-Encompassing Love. If you dwell in All- Encompassing Love the U function will work -- provided you don't define the U. So you can forget the U and simply dwell in All-Encompassing Love. Now we have the third one: When the Pilot dwells in All-Encompassing Beauty He is said to be the doer. In the spaceship you have all three symbols. You cannot separate All- Encompassingness from Love or Beauty. Here you have all three. (music) There is a hint of the M behind the head, but actually you live something else. The M is simply an outcome. I don't know how long it will take you to lose the habit of seeing yourself as a person only. So, I want to show you something. I would like Rick and Chris to go and stand on the podium by Georgette. Now as you can see, these two appear as condensation of the "greater world" that appears in the field around them. They clearly appear as a manifestation of that greater world not as people radiating the greater world. If you would relate to everyone in the groups and to yourself that way everything would be different. Then you would know why you are here. You would know your reason to be on earth. You have to realize that the work goes on and we cannot wait. If you wait for events to show you the way you are going to miss the boat. Events will only show you the way if you haven't done it by yourself (meaning you haven't brought what you had to bring). If you haven't taken the initiative it means you aren't mature. or you might have been mature but you did not show it. Remember, it's perfectly possible to spend a whole lifetime missing the boat. Progress is not automatic. But I would like to speak not of progress but of things to do on earth. The things you do are due to your own initiative, and when I say "you" I do not just mean you personality-wise. You just saw with those two on the podium that there is a presence of another world. It's quite striking. I have told you that we see you differently. Will you finally start beginning to realize that it is true. It's also the time to start acting, not according to what you want to reach, but according to what you are. This is what I call assuming your own position.
