The Eugene Halliday Podcast

Talk given at Parklands (Manchester, UK). 

"We are all Sons of God, but we are not First Sons of God. There is One Son that is the first Son..." 

"Who is Jesus? Jesus is that original One-ly-Begotten power of the infinite Fatherpower and He is not other than that power self-manifested, so there is no division whatever between Jesus the Son and God the Father."

"Now this is very peculiar, that inside the one being...there can be a variety of minds. There can be a ‘pattern-mind’ [i.e. higher mind] that sees all, there can be a ‘time-mind’ [i.e. lower mind] that sees the thing it’s chasing at the moment, and there can be, in between those two, any number of lesser and greater levels." 

Eugene discusses these different minds, highlighting the importance of applying a governing concept as a permanent reference centre for being, one that will continue beyond death. 

Of course, for those who believe that death represents your total annihilation, then "...eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die." However, if this belief turns out to be wrong, you risk spending eternity as a lost soul. 

Proceed with caution; do not waste the opportunity you've been given.

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".
