There is constant mental, vital, subtle-physical interchange going on between all who meet or live together, of which they are themselves unaware except in so far as it's impacts and interpretations touch them as sensible results of speech and action and outer contact: for the most part it is subtly and invisibly that this interchange takes place; for it acts indirectly, touching the subliminal parts and through them the outer nature. But when we grow conscious in these subliminal parts, that brings consciousness also of all this interaction and subjective interchange and intermingling, with the result that we no longer be involuntary subjects of their impact and consequence, but can accept or reject, defend ourselves or isolate. At the same time, our action on others need no longer be ignorant or involuntary and often unintentionally harmful; it can be a conscious help, a luminous interchange and a fruitful accommodation, an approach towards an inner understanding or union, not as now a separative association with only a limited intimacy or unity, restricted by much non-understanding and often burdened or endangered by a mass of misunderstanding, of mutual misinterpretation and error.

Thus it is clear that life is given to men not for themselves but for serving these Higher Cosmic Purposes, and that is why Great Nature watches over this life so that it may flow in a more or less tolerable form, and takes care that it should not prematurely cease. Do not we also—we three-brained beings of the Earth—feed, watch over, look after, and make the lives of our sheep and pigs as comfortable as possible? Do we do all this because we value their lives for the sake of their lives? No! We do all this in order to slaughter them one fine day and to obtain the meat we require, with as much fat as possible. In the same way Nature takes all measures to ensure that we shall live without seeing the terror, and not hang ourselves, but live long, and then, when we are required, She slaughters us. In the established conditions of the ordinary life of people, this has already become an immutable law of Nature. There is in our life a certain very great purpose and we must all serve this Great Common Purpose—in this lies the whole sense and predestination of our life. All people without exception are slaves of this "Greatness", and all are compelled willy-nilly to submit, and to fulfill without condition or compromise what has been pre-destined for each of us by his transmitted heredity and his acquired being. Now, after all that I have said, returning to the chief theme of the lecture read here today, I wish to refresh your memory about what has several times been referred to in defining man—the expressions “real man” and a “man in quotation marks”, and in conclusion, to say the following. Although the real man who has already acquired his own “I” and also the man in quotation marks who has not, are equally slaves of the said “Greatness”, yet the difference between them, as I have already said, consists in this, that since the attitude of the former to his slavery is conscious, he acquires the possibility, simultaneously with serving the all-universal Actualizing, of applying a part of his manifestations according to the providence of Great Nature for the purpose of acquiring for himself “imperishable Being”, whereas the latter, not cognizing his slavery, serves during the flow of the entire process of his existence exclusively only as a thing, which when no longer needed, disappears forever.

Thus it is that we may find that our religious myths and rites are remnants of narratives – a message in a bottle – designed to explain these phenomena, and that the monotheistic versions, declaring a Final End, or a Judgment Day of a final end, are merely distortions of the myth designed to establish a Control System on our planet. These distortions are beneficial to those who seek power and wealth, who are under the control of archetypal forces of another realm of which our own reality is but a shadow or a reflection. Let me reiterate: I do not mean, here, to suggest that this other realm is “astral” or ephemeral or non-material. I am suggesting that it is an intermediate realm of para-physical, hyper-dimensional beings whose existence and nature has been carefully concealed from us for millennia – for a reason that is not to our benefit.

The war is truly THROUGH us and through everyone – without exception. It is unconscious in most people who “dream to be awake” in their mechanical somnambulistic state of existence, identified with the false mask of the conditioned/programmed personality. Ignorance or denial of this topic is neither a defense nor protection. In fact, it is a “natural” by-product of the awakening process to come face-to-face with these ancient occult forces which keep humanity locked in a virtual reality frequency prison. We cannot transcend what we are not aware of. Humanity was hijacked eons ago by this hyper-dimensional predatory alien force — which influences literally all of humanity. The end-game of this “alien invasion” is a Singularity via Transhumanism and A.I. — which intends to create empty human shells (via soul extraction) for complete possession and take-over. If they succeed, or not, is up to each one of us with soul potential; for the future is not yet set in stone.

The patient should be encouraged to use his mind, through observation and discrimination, to bring clearly into his awareness the irrational aspect of his drives and emotions, and also the possible drawbacks and harmfulness to himself and others of their uncontrolled manifestation… To act on the spur of an impulse, a drive or an intense emotion can very often produce undesirable effects which one afterwards regrets… Therefore, he should learn – by repeated experiment and effort – to “insert” between impulse and action a stage of reflection, of mental consideration of a situation, and of critical analysis of his impulse, trying to realize its origin, its source.

In reality the highest form of compassion may be in withdrawing from a given person any direct physical aid that would spare him a painful lesson, withholding it so that he would never again have to act according to a particular kind of program. The best teachers know that compassion does not prevent pain but allows pain to teach. Of course, carried to an extreme this too can be used in the service of destruction.

[T]he principal pair of opposites is the conscious world and the unconscious world, and when the two come together, it is as if man and woman were coming together, the union of the male and the female, of the light and the darkness. Then a birth will take place.

We see that the world around us is not so great, and we aspire for it to change, but we have become wary of universal panaceas, of movements, parties, and theories. So we will begin at square one, with ourselves such as we are; it isn't much, but it's all we have. We will try to change this little bit of world before setting out to save the other. And perhaps this isn't such a foolish idea after all; for who knows whether changing the one is not the most effective way of changing the other?
