Do we need Lucifer? 

"I just said that I’ve fallen out a bit with Lucifer...after what you’ve told us over the last few weeks, it doesn’t seem that he’s necessary at all...I don’t need Lucifer. That’s the thing I’ve been thinking of lately."

"When you identify with your gross material body, you are identifying with the slowest beat that there is where you are. It isn't the only beat there, it's the slowest one. It is identification and the need for gross material experience that causes this focusing on the slow, because the slow is easier to learn first. But riding on it, there's another beat, and riding on that a very, very fine beat..." 

"First a physical body, then a spiritual body". (St Paul)

What is freedom? 

Freedom is NOT the absence of all constraint. 

Rather, freedom is "...a gathering together and appointing a periphery to one's being, and a definition within that peripheralised zone of one's fundamental unique idea of one's own being contribution to Cosmos, and then following that with all the power of your trine nature, thinking, feeling, willing...".  

"Is it possible to be unsatisfied if you can do that?"

Talk given at Parklands (Manchester, UK) on 29th May 1977. 

Eugene responds to an audience member's question regarding the 'Bardo Thodol', or 'Tibetan Book of the Dead'. 

In terms of our being, the Bardo refers to the intermediate zone between life and death. It is the realm of dream.

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960s. 

We begin with a question from the audience: 

"...effectually, we have to work from the conceptual apparatus that we have, and this appears to be slower than the emotional apparatus. In other words if we get involved in a situation that we conceptually decide we can do something about beforehand, but it already precipitates itself before the concept can get a hold of it. And I was wondering, what was the method of attacking it, to stop it?" 

In his response, Eugene articulates why serial thinking is slower than our immediate awareness, and the processes involved, referencing the 'three-part man'. 

Ultimately, our goal is not to learn how to inhibit our response to a stimulus, but rather to become 'transparent' to the stimulus, so that it passes through us.

The talk begins with Eugene reading a question from the audience - Are we ever tried more than we can bear? 

It is a common view amongst theologians that we are never tried more than we are able to bear the trial. How is this so? The key is to avoid looking backwards and acting based on the conditioning of your past experience. 

You must respond with immediacy to the stimulus presented. Only then can you be free of your conditioning and ensure an adequate response in the here and now. 

"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit".

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, on 13th June 1963. 

Eugene is asked a question about the lack of power. The question is, "How do we consider impotence on the three levels of being?" (i.e. the drive or will centre, in the belly; feeling, in the chest; ideas, in the head.) 

"We are going to consider how we deal with impotence on four levels of being. The three-part man is tied together on the spinal cord as coordinator. We will write in will, feeling and thinking on the three levels of being, coordination on the spine, and we will pro­ceed to examine what it is that causes impotence on any of these levels."
