(Due to a misunderstanding, the “box” was not here tonight for trance mediumship, so the board was used.)

Are _____ and _____ twin souls?

YES, THAT IS VALID.

How will whales reincarnate if they become extinct?

THEY WILL NOT, OF COURSE, BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR CYCLE IF THIS HAPPENS. THEY WILL HAVE THE CHOICE OF CHOOSING THE LINE BETWEEN TERRESTRIAL OR AQUATIC SPECIES, OR FINISHING THE CYCLE ON ANOTHER WORLD. THERE IS A DIFFICULTY HERE, AS THE LIFE THEY HAVE LED SO FAR HAS NOT PREPARED THEM FOR LIFE ON LAND HERE. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO CHOOSE ANOTHER WORLD.

Have any humans made the transition from human soul to whale soul?

SOME HAVE, THOUGH NOT HERE, BUT ON OTHER WORLDS. THE CURRENT FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL SHOULD PROVE [to humans], BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE OF THIS SPECIES.

Seems as though they were not smart enough to see that the early whaling ships were a threat, and should have knocked them out in the beginning. There is no sanctuary for whales and they choose not to run.

BY AND LARGE, THEY CHOOSE NOT TO FIGHT, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU MEAN. THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY PEACEFUL, AND NON-AGGRESSIVE.

Is there any connection between the spread of the teaching and the ten lost tribes of Israel?

ESSENTIALLY, YES. THIS PHRASE WAS ORIGINALLY USED METAPHORICALLY DESCRIBING THE LOST CIVILIZATIONS KNOWN BUT GONE IN THE EUPHRATES VALLEY. ALL OF THESE HAD, TO THEIR INTELLECTUAL LIMITS, ACCESS TO THE TEACHING PASSED TO THEM, OF COURSE, IN THE TONGUE OF THE TIMES, BUT SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME. THE TRUTH OF THIS, OF COURSE, BECAME LOST IN LEGEND. IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATURES OF REASON ON THIS WORLD, THIS HAD A VERY LITERAL MEANING, AS EARLY MAN DID FORM TRIBES, BECOMING NOMADIC AS THE FOOD SUPPLY STEADILY DECREASED. MAN BECAME DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, SOME EVEN CROSSING THE BERING STRAITS ON THIS CONTINENT, AND THESE SOULS, OF COURSE, WERE PHYSICALLY LOST TO THE OTHER TRIBES.

Are the Golden Tablets of the Mormons valid as being left there by God or whatever?

THIS ENTIRE BODY IS FOUNDED UPON MAN’S ETERNAL GULLIBILITY. THIS IS, OF COURSE, ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF MAN’S EFFORTS TO COMPLEXIFY THE NATURAL ORDER. IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE MYTHS LIMITED TO THE MIDDLE EAST; THEY HAD TO EXPAND TO THIS CONTINENT.

What is the preponderance of soul levels in Salt Lake City?

THE AVERAGE LEVEL IN THIS AREA IS SECOND LEVEL YOUNG, WITH A PREPONDERANCE OF PRIESTS.

I would like to ask about my friend, a fifty-two year old divorcee who has made four previous attempts at suicide, and just finished another attempt. She refuses to receive any help. Is there any way that I could reach her? (She had a Mormon Temple marriage, which to her means they are married for eternity.)

THIS LADY, OF COURSE, HAD GREAT EXPECTATIONS OF THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE, OF COURSE, AS HER CHOICES WERE MADE FROM PERSONALITY. THESE EXPECTATIONS WERE LARGELY UNFULFILLED. SHE MADE THE BAD MISTAKE OF NOT CHOOSING AN ALTERNATIVE COURSE FOR HERSELF — THIS, BASED UPON EXPECTATIONS THAT HER MARRIAGE WOULD BE THE ANSWER. SHE WOULD NOW LIKE TO DIE, AS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE AROUND. HER BELIEF SYSTEMS ARE QUITE TENACIOUS, EVEN THOUGH SHE TRIES TO DENY THIS INTELLECTUALLY, AND NOW SHE IS LOST OUT ON THE GOAL OF HER PARTICULAR DOGMA, AND THAT IS FRIGHTENING.

The question remains, is there anything _____ can do to help this lady?

UNFORTUNATELY, THE LADY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. YOU COULD, OF COURSE, TO SATISFY YOUR NEED TO AID IN YOU [sic], TELL HER WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE ALREADY. YOU KNOW THAT THIS WILL LARGELY FAIL, OF COURSE. THE LADY IS BLOCKED FROM SEEKING AN ENDURING HUMAN RELATIONSHIP NOW, AND THIS TOO STANDS IN HER WAY. SINCE SHE HAS A CHIEF FEATURE OF MARTYRDOM, SHE IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT TO PENETRATE. HER SUFFERING IS SO SPLENDID AT THE PRESENT.

Would a hypochondriac be a martyr or what?

THIS SYNDROME RUNS THE GAMUT, AND PERMEATES THE CYCLES. IT IS ALSO ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE ALIENATION ON THIS WORLD, AS OFTEN IT IS AN HONEST PLEA FOR SOME ATTENTION, EVEN THOUGH THAT ATTENTION MIGHT HURT OR OTHERWISE BE UNPLEASANT. IT OFTEN TAKES THE FORM OF AN UNEDUCATED PERSON’S REACTION TO SCARE PROPAGANDA; ALSO A NEED FOR PUNISHMENT OF FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN NICE; ALSO THE RESULT OF IMPRINTING BY AN OVER-CONCERNED PARENT. REJECTION SELDOM TAKES THIS FORM, AS THESE SOULS TEND TO REJECT ALSO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE; RETARDATION OFTEN DOES, HOWEVER.

______ says she has never asked for her past lives, and would like to have some information.

THE LADY KNOWS OF ONE LIFE IN WHICH SHE WAS A COURTESAN AROUND THE FRENCH COURT. JUST BECAUSE IT ENDED BADLY, IT CANNOT BE DISCOUNTED. THE LADY HAS ALSO BEEN ON THE SEA TWICE, ONCE UNDER THE UNION JACK, AND ONCE UNDER A PIRATE FLAG, BOTH TIMES AS PURSUER. THE LADY HAS ALSO BEEN A RUGMAKER IN WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS IRAN. SHE HAS BEEN A TEACHER. SHE WAS IN GREECE AT THE TIME OF PLATO, AND IN BABYLON AS A NOBLE LADY EARLIER. THIS LADY HAS BEEN A TEACHER THREE TIMES.

Do the names “Iolantha” and “Stavros”, which came through automatic typing, signify anything? I feel I may have had a life in Greece.

IT IS TRUE THAT YOU HAVE HAD A LIFE IN GREECE, E., BUT THESE NAMES ARE THE NAMES OF TWO FRAGMENTS OF YOUR ENTITY NOW ALIVE IN GREECE, ONE IN ATHENS, AND ONE ON THE ISLE OF CYPRUS.

Could I be told more of my life in Greece?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU WERE THERE TWICE, ONCE IN THE SIXTH CENTURY BEFORE THE COMMON ERA, AND AGAIN IN THE EIGHTH CENTURY OF THIS ERA, BOTH TIME AS AN ACTOR.

Were there snakes involved?

NO.

What is the SRG of my friend ______: Second Level Old Sage, Intellectual part of Moving Center, Cynic, Stubbornness, Stagnation, Submission?

YOU ARE MOSTLY RIGHT. THIS IS A FIRST LEVEL OLD SAGE, A CYNIC, BUT NOT IN STAGNATION, IN GROWTH. THE CYNICISM IS BY FAR HIS STRONGEST OVERLEAF. THE CHIEF FEATURE OF STUBBORNNESS SOMETIMES ALLOWS HIM TO PURSUE SOMETHING THROUGH GROWTH. YOU ARE RIGHT: THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE MET THIS MAN. THERE ARE NO RIBBONS, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN CLOSELY ENOUGH ASSOCIATED FOR THE RECOGNITION TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE. THIS MAN HAS NOT BEEN A PRIEST — THAT WAS NOT THE LIFE. THIS WAS IN THE EARLY PART OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY IN WHAT IS NOW YUGOSLAVIA THAT HE KNEW THIS MAN.

Was I there too?

YES, YOU WERE THERE.

Were we associated?

VERY DEFINITELY. THE THREADS ESTABLISHED THEN PERSIST NOW, AND ARE THE SOURCE OF SOME OF THE PRESENT CONFLICT.

I have a strong feeling some of my past lives were in the Middle East. Comment?

EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, HAS LIVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST; YOU IN TURKEY, IN WHAT IS NOW ISRAEL, AND THEN IN SYRIA, PALESTINE, IN TRANSJORDAN, AND IN TYRE.

It has been said that I was a runaway slave, and also an Indian whose chief is now my son. Was I a runaway Indian or what?

YOU WERE BLACK THEN.

Runaway from where?

FROM A COTTON PLANTATION IN GEORGIA.

Could I have more information on past lives, please?

NOTABLY YOU WERE A SCRIBE AT THE COURT OF PTOLEMY SOTER. YOU WERE OLD ENOUGH THEN TO REMEMBER ALEXANDER. YOU WERE AGAIN A SCRIBE AT THE TIME OF JULIUS CAESAR, AND AGAIN IN THE SECOND CENTURY OF THIS ERA. YOU HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE SEA THREE TIMES, ONCE UNDER THE VIKING EXPLORATION, WITH DeLEON, AND AGAIN IN THE EARLY FOURTEENTH CENTURY AGAIN UNDER THE SPANISH FLAG.

I would like to hear of some of my other past lives.

_____ HAS BEEN A TEACHER FIVE TIMES, TWICE AS A TUTOR, THREE TIMES IN ORGANIZED SCHOOLS, ONE OF THESE PHILOSOPHICAL. _____ HAS BEEN A LIBRARIAN AT THE TIME THIS WAS A COVETED PROFESSION. _____ HAS ALSO BEEN A CARPENTER BEFORE, IN THE MIDDLE EAST. _____ HAS ALSO BEEN A SAILOR AGAIN (he was in this life), THE SHIP’S CARPENTER, AND SOMETHING OF A POET, WRITING LONG LYRICS PRAISING THE SEA.

When was I a ship’s carpenter?

THIS WAS IN THE SECOND CENTURY OF THE COMMON ERA.

Wasn’t he ever female?

YES, HE HAS BEEN FEMALE FOURTEEN TIMES. FEMALES HAVE BEEN LONG REPRESSED ON THIS WORLD. NOTABLE FEMALES HAVE BEEN CHRONICLED AS THEY HAVE COME UP.

There was an offer by Michael to weave a tapestry of past lives. Are they ready for that now? Should we ask specific questions?

THERE IS NO NEED TO ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. WE WOULD THINK YOU WOULD EXAMINE YOUR VARIOUS REASONS FOR EVADING THIS PARTICULAR QUESTION. IT IS AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON. WE HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT THOSE OF YOU NOW ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE LIVED WITHIN THE PAST THREE DECADES, AND EVEN PERHAPS MOST OF THOSE WHO LIVED IN THE PAST FIVE DECADES, AND ALL THOSE WHO WILL LIVE AGAIN IN THE NEXT TWO DECADES, HAVE ALL LIVED DURING WHAT EACH CHOOSE TO CALL THE “CARDINAL POINTS” OF THESE CYCLES. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU HAVE LIVED DURING THE CENTURIES IN WHICH THE MOST SWEEPING CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED: PHILOSOPHICALLY, SPIRITUALLY, CULTURALLY, AND SCIENTIFICALLY. FIVE OF YOU WERE PRESENT IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA IN EACH INSTANCE WHEN THE INFINITE SOUL MANIFESTED ON THIS WORLD. THOSE FIVE KNEW EACH OTHER WELL, AS THEIR LIVES WHERE INTERWOVEN AT THE TIME. ALL OF YOU HAD ACCESS TO THE WORDS THEN, AND AT THE TIME OF THE LAST MANIFESTATION [Jesus]. ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE OCCULT BROTHERHOOD IN THE CRADLE OF ITS EXISTENCE, THREE OF YOU BECOMING INITIATES BUT NEVER ADEPTS. ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN, AT ONE TIME, ASSOCIATED WITH THE EDUCATION OF YOUTH AT A TIME WHEN THERE WERE SWEEPING PHILOSOPHICAL CHANGES. ALL OF YOU HAVE THIS IN COMMON. YOU DID NOT LISTEN. WE HAVE MORE.

Is Michael speaking of those people present in the room this evening, or of the entire group?

WE REFER TO MEMBERS OF THIS CADRE WHICH INCLUDES SOULS NOT IN THIS ROOM.

What about the people who have not been present at cardinal points? Are souls excluded as far as the teaching goes? Who are the five?

THOSE FIVE WERE THE MAN _____, THE LADY _____, THE LADY _____, THE MAN _____, THE LADY _____.

OK. Who were the three in the [White] Brotherhood?

THIS WAS THE MAN _____, THE MAN _____, AND _____. FOUR OF YOU HEARD THE WORDS OF SOCRATES: TWO FROM HIS STUDENT, PLATO, AND TWO FROM HIM. SIX OF YOU KNEW THE MAN, JESUS, IN HIS CHILDHOOD. TWO OF YOU KNEW HIM WELL, BUT WHEN WORD CAME OF HIS TEACHING, IT WAS DISCOUNTED.

We remember _____ and _____ heard about Socrates from Plato. Who were the other two?

THE OTHER TWO WERE _____ AND _____. (Four were) NOT CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, BUT ROMANS WHO WERE IN THE PROVINCE AT THE TIME. (The two who knew him well:) THE LADY _____, AND _____. THE OTHER FOUR (of the six) WERE THE LADY _____, THE MAN _____, THE LADY _____, AND THE MAN _____.

How did we know of Him [Jesus]?

THE MAN _____ WAS NOT A SOLDIER; HE WAS A KING. (A thought pattern was evidently picked up from _____, as she said she was thinking what kind of a soldier _____ is.)

THE MAN J. WAS A SYRIAN. HE WAS IN ALEXANDRIA THE TIME HE TUTORED THE CHILDREN. HE RETURNED TO ROME WITH THE CHILDREN AND THEN HOME TO SYRIA.

Where was I?

THE LADY _____ WAS IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF THE MAN CALLED JOHN [Joseph?] OF ARAMATHEA. SHE WAS A HOUSEHOLD SERVANT. THE MAN _____ BELONGED TO THE PROCURATOR, PILATUS, AND WAS A GREEK AT THE TIME. THE MAN _____ ALSO WAS GREEK, THE BROTHER OF THE MAN _____. THE LADY _____ WAS A RABBI, AND THE MAN R. A SANDAL MAKER ON THE ROAD FROM NORTHERN SYRIA TO JERUSALEM, IN A TOWN THEN CALLED KEPHERHANAN (could this be Arabic for Capernaum?). MANY OF YOU, HOWEVER, HAD NAGGING DOUBTS THAT CARRIED OVER INTO OTHER LIVES THAT KEPT YOU SEARCHING. DURING THE CRUSADES, FOUR OF YOU WERE WITH SALADIN [Arabic leader], AND TWO WENT INTO THE STRATEGIC TOWN BEFORE IT WAS TO BE DESTROYED BY THE CRUSADERS. THE MOTIVATION AT THE TIME WAS MEMORY, AND YOU WERE NOT UNDER ORDERS. THIS AGAIN WAS THE LADY, _____. SOLDIERS AGAIN. AGAIN WHEN _____ LEFT THE CONTINENT HE HAD WITH HIM SIX MORE OF YOU DEDICATED WITH EQUAL FERVOR TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PAGANS, ARMED MOSTLY WITH ELUSIVE MEMORIES. AGAIN DURING THE INQUISITION YOU TRIED VICARIOUSLY TO IMPLANT THESE DIM MEMORIES INTO THE CULTURE. MOST OF YOU HAVE SEARCHED UNCEASINGLY FOR THE ANSWERS, AND ALL OF YOUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TIED UP WITH THIS EXPRESSION OF LOSS SINCE THAT TIME. FIVE OF YOU WERE WITH ALEXANDER [the Great], AND CAME CLOSE TO A VISION OF UNITY AND WORLD GOVERNMENT UNDER A MAN WHO EXPRESSED LESS NEGATIVITY THAN ANY OTHER RULER SINCE THE CIVILIZATION BEGAN ON THIS WORLD. FOUR OF YOU SERVED UNDER THE LEGIONS OF ROME, AT THE TIME WHEN ANOTHER VISION OF PEACEFUL WORLD DOMINION WAS TAKING PLACE. HISTORY, AT LEAST THE WRITTEN CHRONICLES, OFTEN LACK MUCH IN THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE WHICH THEY CHRONICLED. ALL OF YOU NOW HAVE THE CHANCE AGAIN TO HEAR THE WORDS, AND BE A PART OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE LOGOS; ALSO, A CHANCE TO SIT AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER. ALL OF YOU ALSO NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A MOVEMENT TOWARD PEACEFUL WORLD DOMINION — THIS TIME WITHOUT THE BLOODSHED OF THE PAST. WE HAVE SAID THAT THIS PLANET WILL NOT BE DESTROYED. THAT IS TRUE, BUT WE DO NOT DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEVASTATING, INTER-CONTINENTAL NUCLEAR WAR. THIS IS A VERY REAL ALTERNATIVE AT THE MOMENT. THE ONLY METHOD OF ESCAPE WILL BE THE CHOOSING OF ONE OF THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES. THIS ALSO CAN OCCUR AT THE MOMENT — NONE OF THEM MORE LIKELY THAN THE OTHER. AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT REALLY MATTER: YOUR COURSE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN, AND YOU HAVE BEGUN TO CARRY OUT THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU MADE BETWEEN LIVES, AND IN THE PAST. WHETHER OR NOT THE BOMB COMES, THERE WILL ALSO BE A PHILOSOPHICAL AND SPIRITUAL REVOLT, AND THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN. THE BOMB CAN BE A TRULY FRIGHTENING POSSIBILITY TO THE PERSONALITY, ESPECIALLY THE ONES NOT INVOLVED. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO THIS ARE NOT ALL ATTRACTIVE, EITHER, BUT ONE CERTAINLY IS. THIS CIVILIZATION HAS NOW EVOLVED TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN, AS A WHOLE, BEGIN TO LOOK AT THE CONCEPT OF UNITY. BEFORE, THIS HAS ONLY BEEN A DREAM OF OLD VISIONARIES, AND NOT A POSSIBILITY. TRUE, IN THE PAST, THERE HAS BEEN ALWAYS BLOODSHED IN CONQUEST, EVEN THOUGH PEACEFUL INTERVALS FOLLOWED, DURING WHICH GREAT STRIDES WERE MADE. IN SPITE OF THE BLOODSHED, IN THESE PERIODS, THERE WAS LITTLE REAL ENMITY INVOLVED. THE MORALITY OF WAR WAS NOT QUESTIONED UNTIL THIS CENTURY. THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU BECOME TRAPPED IN YOUR PESSIMISM, BECAUSE THIS IS THE GREATEST SINGLE STEP THAT YOUR CIVILIZATION HAS TAKEN. IT IS A SWEEPING MOVEMENT, ALSO, AND THERE IS HARDLY A MAN ALIVE TODAY WHO DOES NOT QUESTION IT. THIS HAS ALWAYS MEANT CHANGE IN THE PAST. WHEN THE QUESTION IS ASKED, THE ANSWER NORMALLY FOLLOWS CLOSE ON ITS HEELS. THE POSSIBILITY IS GREAT THAT THIS IS THE LAST GENERATION THAT WILL ACTUALLY CONSIDER ARMED WARFARE AS A SOLUTION TO ANY PROBLEM ON THIS PLANET. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN PESSIMISTIC ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR MAN TO CHANGE, BUT THIS IS TRULY A GIANT STRIDE. THE QUESTION IS SIMPLY THAT IT WAS NOT POSED BEFORE, AND IT WAS NOT OFFERED THAT THERE WAS ANY OTHER WAY. THOSE WHO WENT INTO GAUL FOR THE LEGIONS OFTEN FELT [no] ENMITY FOR THOSE THEY CONQUERED, AND WERE JUST AS AVID ABOUT BUILDING UP AS THEY WERE ABOUT TEARING DOWN. THE SAME WAS TRUE IN THE TIME OF ALEXANDER. THERE HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONS TO THIS, NOTABLY SCIPIO AFRICANUS AND HITLER. THEY DID HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF ENMITY TOWARD THOSE THEY CONQUERED AND DESTROYED. BOTH WERE DISSENBLED [sic] AND “MAD”. TODAY THERE ARE ALIVE TWO MEN WHO COULD CONCEIVABLY FIT THIS PATTERN, AND TRIGGER A GLOBAL HOLOCAUST. THIS IS ONE ALTERNATIVE; THE OTHERS: CONTACT WITH WORLDS BEYOND THIS ONE IS ONE — THIS WOULD PROVIDE THE SHOCK OF WHICH YOU HAVE SPOKEN; SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES AND WIDESPREAD RESISTANCE IS ANOTHER.

When asked if any [of the potential world-destroyers] were American:

ONE IS, YES; ONE IS NOW IN CHINA.

I have the impression that within our group, the articulation of the teachings emphasizes the static, the intellectual, and the hierarchical. Is this primarily a distortion arising from my biases, or the group’s, or the languages? Or is this an accurate transmission of the teachings? Please comment.

IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS GROUP, THE PRIMARY CONCERN WAS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BELIEF SYSTEM IN THE LANGUAGE NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN IT TO EACH OTHER AND TO ONESELF. THIS IS A NECESSARY STEP IN THE FORMATION OF ANY GROUP, BUT IN MOST BECOMES A BARRIER TOWARD FURTHER GROWTH, AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES THE BELIEF SYSTEM ITSELF. IN THIS GROUP, THERE HAS BEEN EVOLUTION OF A SORT THAT NOW POINTS TOWARD CONTINUANCE IN GROWTH. THE POSSIBILITY STILL EXISTS, HOWEVER, THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO CONCERN YOURSELVES WITH THE INTELLECTUAL HIERARCHICAL ASPECTS, AND NEGLECT THE SPIRITUAL, YES, BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO. YOU CAN PUT THIS BELIEF SYSTEM TO THE ACID TEST, AND SEE IF IT WORKS. UNTIL YOU DO THIS, YES, YOU ARE STILL TRAPPED IN THE BEGINNING STAGES. THIS IS WHERE MOST OF THE OTHER BELIEF SYSTEMS REMAINED THROUGHOUT THEIR EXISTENCE, INCLUDING THE WORLD’S GREAT RELIGIONS. THE CONCERN REMAINED HIERARCHICAL AND PRIMARILY INTELLECTUAL, AND NEVER GOT OFF THE GROUND SPIRITUALLY. YOU ARE RIGHT, OF COURSE, YOU ARE TRADING ONE BELIEF SYSTEM FOR ANOTHER; BUT THERE IS A UNITY HERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN BEFORE, AND THERE IS A TREND TOWARD INTEGRATION THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF VERIFYING IMPLICIT WITHIN THE SYSTEM.
