Every 
          man is born bearing within him the image of his polar being.
          As he grows, this image grows within him; 
          It takes form and is filled with life and colour.
          Man is not conscious of it. Yet it is his ALTER EGO,
          The Lady of his dreams, his Princess of the Vision.
          In Quest of her he must eternally go.
         
          In Her alone, he will find a perfect echo of Himself:
          Of the most intimate, inexpressible movements of his soul, For in their 
          union, the limit between the I and the Thou is obliterated.
         
          Since she is his Singular, his Legitimate Spouse.
          And Silence will then be the depositary of the fullness of their Love.
        To live 
          in the True, with all lies excluded, is the prerogative of the Cycle 
          of the Spirit: Light without shadow.
        We speak 
          here about certain human beings who have attained or who are about to 
          attain the Second Birth. The text leaves no room for ambiguity:
         
          Lie 
            not to one another: seeing that you have put off the old man with 
            his doings and have put on the new man, that is being renewed until 
            the knowledge after the image of God: where there cannot be Greek 
            and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave 
            and freeman; but Christ is all and in all.
        
        This is 
          only addressed to those who are on the Way in their relations between 
          themselves. 
        He who 
          reaches Love would not know how to lie. But to triumph over lies requires 
          an esoteric culture which is inaccessible to ordinary man.
        This highlights 
          the important problem of lying.
        The struggle 
          against lying is long and drawn out. It is first of all a struggle against 
          ourselves, against our spontaneous tendencies, and against that mechanicalness 
          that makes us revert constantly to lying.
        Useless 
          lies to others are far less harmful than lying to oneself - and easier 
          to master and heal. Lying to oneself sometimes takes on finely shaded 
          forms that necessitate total and sustained attention, together with 
          methodical and persistent efforts. 
        to eliminate 
          useless lying to others does not demand continual effort: one must simply 
          watch to see that it does not slip into conversation. At the moment 
          when it is on our lips a simple effort of attention is sufficient to 
          stop it. That is why in struggling for truth, it is recommended to begin 
          with this type of lie.
        But, we 
          easily understand that lying to oneself, or the struggle against this 
          kind of lie, is not perceptible from the exterior. 
        When we 
          stop lying uselessly, this will also be unnoticed by those around us. 
          One can say that in practice, the struggle against these two categories 
          of lies does not alter man's relations with other men in any way, although 
          it is very effective for the person who undertakes it. We can therefore 
          begin it without delay, as long as we do it discreetly so as not to 
          draw attention to ourselves, and so do not provoke increasing pressure 
          from the General Law [of accident and mechanicalness which will try 
          to circumvent these efforts; i.e. The Predator's mind/Matrix.]
        [...] 
          As for efforts at suppressing lies to oneself, they entail quite different 
          and important consequences. Such lies grow deep roots. In this domain, 
          paradoxical situations sometimes arise, some of them of such psychological 
          subtlety that it is difficult to draw them out of the shade. 
        Here we 
          must mention the question of marriages where one of the partners, having 
          realized that this union is an error, persists in trying to convince 
          him or herself of the contrary. If he is of an affectionate nature, 
          he will redouble his amiability towards his partner as if truly toward 
          his polar "other." The absurdity of the situation reaches 
          its limits if the other partner reacts by adopting a corresponding attitude 
          - without any sincere or spontaneous glow of tenderness. 
        The danger 
          from the esoteric point of view is that, by mere force of habit, such 
          a situation takes on for one of the partners, or even for both of them, 
          the value of true love. this kind of lying to oneself can go on for 
          dozens of years with people who are amiable and of good faith, and they 
          entail tragic disillusions in the end.
        The man 
          who starts to struggle against lying to himself must be forewarned of 
          these difficulties, and of the possible collapse of some or all his 
          greatest values. 
        All should 
          know that true esoteric work only begins after the individual has passed 
          through a general bankruptcy and has had his gods helplessly thrown 
          to the ground.
        We have 
          indicated the absolute necessity for anyone who aspires to esoteric 
          development to cure himself as soon as possible of this deep-rooted 
          habit of lying to himself. 
        We shall 
          now look at this problem from another angle: that of the objective results 
          which man obtains when he is able to stop lying.
        This work 
          takes time, demands the courage to face disillusion, and needs self-confidence 
          and faith in the self. As the seeker advances, he feels a new sentiment. 
          
        He will 
          sometimes feel bitter regret as his beautiful dreams vanish, but at 
          the same time he will feel himself more and more liberated.
        His growing 
          sincerity towards himself will establish an atmosphere of truth in his 
          inner life. The law proclaimed "you shall know the truth, and the 
          truth shall set you free" will apply to him in its fullness. 
        The word 
          "free" was deliberately chosen to contrast a state of slavery.
        After 
          each operation of inner purification, painful though it may be, the 
          seeker will feel more and more fully a profound gratitude for being 
          freed from this absurd slavery. 
        Having 
          reached a certain stage in internal liberation, the individual will 
          understand the full value of the magical power expressed in the word 
          Freedom.
        The acquisition 
          of Inner Freedom is the sine qua non condition of further success 
          in esoteric work. 
        This elimination 
          of lying to the self enables one to observe the work of the lower centers 
          in the self objectively. This observation is commenced from this "command 
          post" of impartial observation and judgment of the individual who 
          has overcome the lies to the self.
        When our 
          interior world is thus purified by these rays of the "B", 
          when we have ceased to lie to ourselves, how then are we to act towards 
          others?
        This problem 
          is far from easy.
        It is 
          written: "the kingdom of heaven is forced, and it is the violent 
          men who hold it." 
        If we 
          remember that the kingdom of heaven is within, and NOT outside us, then 
          we begin to understand that some force or even violence must be employed 
          INTERNALLY to retake our own fortress.
        This is 
          very often necessary to eliminate the roots of Illusion within us, the 
          mother of lies to ourselves. 
        Thus 
          we see that the test at the fourth step is decisive. Until lying 
          stops, man drags along the defects of his past: lying, weakness, self-pity, 
          inner compromise. 
        Generally, 
          it takes time, the opportunity and the possibility to rid himself of 
          his baggage before committing himself to the fourth step is met. 
          Many individuals, because of the weight of their past, waste time and 
          allow many opportunities which present themselves to go by. 
        But, on 
          the fourth step, the balance sheet must be drawn up and accounts settled. 
          Man, poor and naked, is accepted at the second Threshold, but 
          only on condition that he is consistent and pure.
        The essential 
          is that he be consistent, meaning that he contains within himself true 
          Love, which can only be revealed by the cessation of lying to the self.
        Everything 
          false within him will be burned by the flames of this blazing sword.
        All of 
          these steps happen more or less together in many combinations. They 
          are distributed unequally according to different personalities, and 
          driven by the force of our Desire to be free.
        In stepping 
          onto the Staircase, to approach and then cross the Second Threshold, 
          man adopts a new attitude towards himself: from this point on, he takes 
          his fate in his own hands.
        During 
          later development, the Individuality becomes progressively integrated 
          with the higher cosmos.

        Cassiopaeans:
          Q: (L) Let me ask this one before the tape runs out and we take a break. 
          What is the "ultimate secret" being protected by the Consortium? 
          
          A: You are not in control of yourselves, you are an experiment. [...] 
          
          Q: (L) Yes. Okay. How "long", and I put long in quotes, because 
          we know, as you say, there is no time, but how long, as we measure it, 
          have the Grays been interacting with our race? The Grays, not the Lizards, 
          the Grays, the cybergenetic probes? 
          A: No. 
          Q: (L) What do you mean, "No"? 
          A: Time travelers, therefore, "Time is ongoing." 
          Q: (L) Okay, recently I read a couple of books Jan gave me, "Knight 
          in Shining Armor" and "Replay". Both of these books described 
          time travel. 
          A: No, not finished with answer. Do you understand the gravity of last 
          response? 
          Q: (L) They are time travelers, they can move forward and backward in 
          time, they can play games with our heads... (T) They can set up the 
          past to create a future they want. (D) They can organize things so that 
          they can create the energy that they need... (L) They can also make 
          things look good, make them feel good, make them seem good, they can 
          make you have an idea one minute, and then the next minute, create some 
          sort of situation that confirms that idea... 
          A: When you asked how long, of course it is totally unlimited, is it 
          not? 
          Q: (L) That's not good. If they were to move back through space time 
          and alter an event in our past, would that alteration in the past instantaneously 
          alter our present as well? 
          A: Has over and over and over. 
          Q: (D) So they do it over and over and over, constantly? (L) So, at 
          each... 
          A: You just are not yet aware, and have no idea of the ramifications!!! 
          
          Q: (L) We're getting a little glimmer! Yeah, I do, a little! (T) The 
          ramifications of being able to move in and out of time and manipulate 
          it the way you want (Jan/Laura) And the ramifications of what they're 
          doing to us; what they are doing to us and what they will do to us, 
          over and over. (Freddy) What did it say about over and over? (L) So, 
          in other words, our only real prayer in this whole damn situation is 
          to get out of this density level. That's what they're saying, that's 
          what it sounds like to me. 
          A: Close. 
          Q: (L) Because, otherwise, we're just literally, as in that book, stuck 
          in the replay over and over and over, and the Holocaust could happen 
          over and over, and we could just, you know... Genghis Khan, Attila the 
          Hun... over and over and over again. (T) We're stuck in a time loop; 
          they're putting us in a time loop. (J) Are we in a time loop? 
          A: Yes. 
          Q: (D) I have a question about... there was a... (PAUSE) Mankind has 
          found it necessary for some reason or other to appoint time for some 
          reason or other. The only reason I can see is to have a means of telling, 
          like in verbal or written communications... 
          A: Control mechanism. 
          Q: (T) Is there a way for us to break the control mechanism? Besides 
          moving to 4th density? (D) That was part... 
          A: Nope. 
          Q: (D) When 4th density beings communicate it's telepathic, right? 
          A: Yes. 
          Q: (D) Okay, since time doesn't exist, how do you communicate about 
          happenings? 
          A: Rephrase, please; clarify. 
          Q: (L) What she means to ask is, if you're communicating telepathically... 
          (D) On 4th density.. (L) And time doesn't exist, how do you communicate 
          about events as one happens now, as opposed to later and the next thing 
          happens, and the next thing happens... (J) How is it sequential? 
          A: Translate. 
          Q: (D) Translate? Okay, let me explain what I mean. I mean, we talk 
          about 1907 something happened... 
          A: That is how it is done. 
          Q: (T) Translate is how it is done. You translate the experience? 
          A: From 4 to 3. And vice versa. 
          Q: (L) So, in other words, it's almost like making movies. (J) Are linear 
          thought processes part of it? Is it being linear and non-linear? 
          A: Part of 3d illusion only. 
          Q: (L) So, in other words, if you're a 4th density being, everything 
          is more or less happening, excuse the term happening, everything is 
          simultaneous, and if you wish to discuss or communicate or have any 
          focus upon any particular aspect of this unified dimension, then what 
          you do is you kind of extract it out, project it into 3d... 
          A: Close. 
          Q: (L) ... like a movie. 
          A: But you will not understand fully until you get there.

        Mouravieff: 
          The life of man is a film. It is certainly difficult for our Cartesian 
          minds to grasp this concept. Our three-dimensional minds are badly adapted 
          to ideas and facts which touch on the domain of the eternal.
        Incomprehensible 
          as it may seem, our life is truly a film produced in accordance with 
          a script. This film goes on continuously, without ever stopping, in 
          such a way that, at the time of his death, man is born again. What seems 
          absurd is that he is born in the same place, at the same date where 
          he was born before, and of the same parents. So the film goes on again. 
          Each human being, then, is born with his own particular film. this represents 
          the field of action in which man is called to apply his conscious efforts. 
          
        The repetition 
          of the film is not reincarnation, although these two notions are often 
          confused. Exterior man, who lives in the system of the Future-Past cannot 
          embrace in a single moment the ensemble of his film, nor even the part 
          that contains his immediate future. To do so, he would need to enlarge 
          the slot of his Present.
         It thus 
          happens to him that, faced with certain events, he will feel that he 
          has already seen or lived those events. Some see in such phenomena the 
          proof of so called reincarnation. In reality, phenomena of this sort 
          are the result of a casual and temporary surge of fine energies in the 
          organism: the slot of the individual Present then enlarges for a few 
          moment, and some significant facts of the immediate future slip into 
          the waking consciousness. In this way, the impression is created of 
          a return of another time. In a certain way this is true, although the 
          impression of having lived before is only caused by mechanical unfolding 
          of the film. 
        By reincarnation, 
          we must understand a phenomenon of a very different order. Although 
          the theoretical film revolves integrally on the plane of possibilities, 
          meaning in eternity, the film of the exterior man clings to the plane 
          of realization, that is, of Time, but only to the extent strictly necessary 
          to satisfy the ends of the Ray of Creation.
        True reincarnation, 
          on the other hand, occurs entirely in time, and belongs integrally to 
          the domain of the Real, well understood as part of the broader frame 
          of Manifestation. The human personality is not a reality in the proper 
          sense of the word, but a possibility. It plays a role in the film to 
          which it is attached, from which it will not disappear until the moment 
          of the Second Birth. At that moment, it will cease to be a Personality. 
          Because of its indestructible union with the real "I", it 
          will be transfigured, and so it will become an Individuality. As long 
          as man lives in the wilderness, self-satisfied and immersed in lies 
          and illusions, the film will unfold with mechanical inflexibility, and 
          the Personality will remain entirely unchanged.
        These 
          circumstances start to change the moment man crossed the first Threshold. 
          This passage can be compared to the conception of the future Individuality. 
          The Staircase symbolizes the period of gestation, and the crossing of 
          the second Threshold represents the second Birth, the birth of Individuality. 
          As man becomes more and more integrated with his "I", growing 
          his Individuality, he becomes progressively integrated with the Cosmos 
          and acquires "gifts" appropriate to his individual nature. 
          Simultaneously, he progressively participates in real, objective existence, 
          which finally characterizes his being.
        This is 
          liberation from the bonds of the film. 
        It is 
          only at this point of evolution that true individual reincarnation becomes 
          possible. 
        True reincarnation 
          is not mechanical; it is done consciously, generally to accomplish a 
          mission.
        Cassiopaeans:
          Q: (LC) Well, if that's the case! I want to ask about past life relations 
          between us. I'm sure there is. 
          A: Be specific. 
          Q: (LC) Are there any specific past life connections between any of 
          the women in this room? 
          A: Who? 
          Q: (LC) Well, let's start with Laura. Do I have a past life connection 
          with Laura? 
          A: Before we answer that, we wish to hear from you what you perceive 
          a past life circumstance to be. 
          [..] How do you perceive the reincarnation process to be? 
          Q: (LC) I perceive it as you come back with people you choose to come 
          back with, and that you choose people that you are karmically connected 
          to. (I) I see it a little bit differently than that... 
          A: Aha! We have a variance! 
          Q: (I) I think that when we die and go to 5th density, that we make 
          pacts with people in each incarnation, so when you come back, it is 
          coming back to fulfill that pact. (LC) Yes, that is the way my line 
          of thinking is going. But, when they asked that question, I was thinking 
          that you have people you come back with because of closeness. Somebody 
          may be your mother in one life, and there is a love bond, and then there 
          are other people that you come back with because you have to resolve 
          something to let go of that person rather than to get closer. 
          A: This is partially correct. But, there is more to it than this. For 
          example, one can incarnate on various planes of existence, not just 
          the one you perceive currently. And, one may actually reincarnate on 
          more than one plane concurrently, if one is advanced enough to do this. 
          
          Q: (L) Are you suggesting that ... 
          A: Yes, we are! 
          Q: (L) I was thinking it, but they didn't let me finish. For the record, 
          I was thinking that we are all part of the same soul unit here. 
          A: To an extent, but you may not yet understand what exactly a "soul 
          unit" is in that sense. And of course, there is more than one sense 
          for this as well. The "trick" that 3rd density STS life forms will learn, 
          either prior to transition to 4th density, or at the exact juncture, 
          is to think in absolutely limitless terms. The first and most solid 
          step in this process is to not anticipate at all. This is most difficult 
          for you. We understand this, but this as also why we keep reiterating 
          this point. For example, imagine if one of your past lives is also a 
          future life? [...]
          Q: (P) Now, I just want to say that I think that we have all of us here 
          traveled back in time to change the way things are now. We inserted 
          ourselves into this time period to wake up and see what is really happening. 
          This is 3rd density thinking, I know, but it is the only way I can describe 
          it. We looked back on the way things happened, the way the world is 
          now, and we have come back to change things. We have come from the future, 
          to wake up now, because we didn't wake up before. (C) Maybe that's our 
          "past life/future life" connection here? (P) Right, we all agreed to 
          insert ourselves in this time line.... (L) So, we ARE from the future... 
          (P) Because the world is going in this direction, and SOMETHING had 
          to be done. That's what I see. (I) Yes. We all decided to come back, 
          but there was a strong possibility that we would not be able to wake 
          up and link up. And that's why so many things happened to attempt to 
          keep us from getting together. (P) Not just that, things happen to keep 
          us from waking up period! We've all been bombarded with stuff all our 
          lives. (I) Yes, and when we started waking up, and realized that we 
          HAD to come together to "link" to DO whatever it is we are going to 
          do, there has to be all kinds of things to prevent it even! [Laughter] 
          (S) I would like to ask a question about synchronicity... 
          A: Wait a minute... someone said something a short while ago that is 
          surprisingly close to the truth. Now just a moment... reflect please. 
          
          Q: (L) P*** was saying that we have come back from the future and inserted 
          ourselves into this timeline... 
          A: Yes. That is close to being totally correct! 
          Q: (L) In terms of reincarnation, that we were talking about a few minutes 
          before that, we are possibly incarnations of ourselves incarnated at 
          different levels. This just happens to be one of the levels of reality 
          that we are occupying, but there are other selves at other levels thinking 
          and doing other level stuff, and these other levels are perceived by 
          us as the future... 
          A: Maybe for some of you, but let us not get ahead of ourselves. 
          Q: (P) The C's say that they are US in the future. So, we, being THEM 
          in the future, some of who they are in the future, have come back as 
          us, to do what we are doing, to undo what is happening on Earth... 
          A: Close, but more complex than that. It would be difficult for you 
          to completely understand at this point, but let us just say that you 
          are close. 
         Mouravieff: 
          It is important to grasp clearly the difference which exists between 
          the film, a mixture of possibilities, and reincarnation in time, which 
          belongs to the domain of the Real, and to understand the meaning of 
          this difference. 
        At the 
          time of the second Birth, that is to say, by crossing the Second Threshold, 
          man escapes his bondage to the film, and enters the domain of redemption. 
          He is then admitted into the sacred brotherhood of living Beings. These 
          beings are an unshakable force: those who are part of it are no longer 
          subject to illness or sorrow. Death loses its hold over them. They have 
          overcome the world.
         In theory, 
          the film in which man is born and in which he lives can go on until 
          the end of the world, on condition that he is happy, satisfied with 
          himself, attributing his virtues to himself, and blaming others for 
          his mistakes and misfortunes. Properly speaking, this kind of existence 
          cannot be considered as human; it could be described as anthropoid. 
          This term is justified in the sense that exterior man, immersed in self-satisfaction, 
          represents the crowning achievement of millions of years of evolution 
          of the species from its animal ancestors, yet from the point of view 
          of esoteric evolution, he is a possibility which has not yet been realized. 
          
        If we 
          envisage the problem of esoteric evolution from the point of view of 
          the film and the different parts man can play in it, it is clear that 
          this kind of evolution is impossible as long as the film can always 
          be considered as turning in the same circle. People who perform in such 
          a film are those we have called anthropoids, puppets, the dead who, 
          in the words of Jesus, "believe themselves to be alive." 
        Esoteric 
          evolution starts when man, by his conscious efforts, proves capable 
          of breaking the circle and transforming it into an ascending spiral. 
          The spiral represents an intermediate state between the position where 
          the human Personality is found to be trapped in the film, which revolves 
          mechanically in a way hardly separated from the eternal plane, and that 
          of the perfect, free Individuality, who is able, if need arises, to 
          reincarnate consciously in Time. 
        This is 
          an intermediate state in this sense, that the film definitely departs 
          from the plane of the eternal, from the plane of possibilities. The 
          curve of life, which for exterior man does not in practice differ from 
          a circle, transforms itself into a spiral and does not end - as it did 
          previously - almost at its point of departure: the distance between 
          these two points now marks a definite progression in Time. 
        The film 
          in the form of a spiral belongs to human beings who climb the staircase. 
          Complete disengagement of the film is produced at the moment of crossing 
          the second threshold. If man is able to do that successfully during 
          a single life, so breaking the circle for the very first time, he does 
          not return to it. Such a case is very rare: it is the lot of the just. 
          
        Generally, 
          this liberation requires several lives; several revolutions of the spiral. 
          As a general rule, each revolution occurs in Time, and consequently 
          can appear to be a reincarnation. In reality, it is nothing but a return 
          to exterior life. A pseudo-reincarnation like this is neither conscious 
          nor personal: it is the actors in the film who return, and they do not 
          remember any previous experiences.
        However, 
          a change is possible as soon as the conscious efforts of man increase 
          the effect of the Time factor by enlarging perception of the Present. 
          In a film which unfolds in a spiral in this way, the contents of the 
          play change; they change in two ways: first in each life, that is, during 
          each revolution, and also from spiral to spiral. The composition of 
          the cast, the circumstances, and the scenery all change. Two elements 
          however remain permanent: first, the general aim, to reach and cross 
          the second Threshold; then the absolute condition for crossing this 
          Threshold, that all the karmic debts which have been accumulated in 
          the present life, as well as during previous spirals, must be neutralized 
          and liquidated. 
        Before 
          the Second Threshold, every drama must be played out to its denouement. 
          The work is hard and difficult because man constantly makes mistakes. 
          
        The attentive 
          reader has already understood that following the spiral, or climbing 
          the Staircase, is reserved for human beings who have already absorbed 
          a certain quantity of "B" influences and who thus possess 
          a more or less developed magnetic center. This does not guarantee that 
          they will make no more errors.
         It is 
          true that from the time man first mounts the Staircase he is watched, 
          especially if he makes sincere and considerable efforts. The Esoteric 
          Brotherhood offers him a helping hand. Certain meetings, a play of favorable 
          circumstances, are the forms taken by this help. This assistance does 
          not, however, free him of the need to work on himself and to go on making 
          conscious efforts. In addition, it must be said that often the proffered 
          help is not used, because man does not listen to the advice given, or 
          because he does not grasp the meaning of the favorable circumstances 
          and the possibilities of progress which open before him. He is still 
          more than half a creature of the domain of Illusion, he continues to 
          take frequent impulsive decisions, and often turns against his own avowed 
          aims. 
        It must 
          be understood that as long as a man has not attained and crossed the 
          Second Threshold, he will have to start all over again. He will restart 
          every spiral in the wilderness, he will once again have to discern the 
          Cosmic Solar influences, cross the First Threshold, and climb the Staircase 
          step by step. It is true that no conscious effort is ever lost, but 
          the experience acquired in one spiral only appears in the next in the 
          form of innate personal aptitudes, or vague recollections of people 
          in the cast.
        We should 
          know that, at the end of a spiral (incarnation), a comparison is made 
          between the film as it was conceived at the time of birth and what it 
          has become at the time of death. The balance sheet between these two 
          states is drawn up, as in accounting, by listing assets and liabilities, 
          followed by a profit/loss statement. This will show the result of the 
          elapsed life objectively.
        This balance 
          sheet furnishes the basic elements for composing the film at the start 
          of the following spiral.
        If we 
          could avoid all errors and complications in this new experience, produced 
          as a result of free movements, esoteric evolution would then occur in 
          a harmonious rising curve.
        Generally, 
          this is not the case. Man most often comes to this idea of evolution 
          after he has already complicated the film to which he belongs. 
        But true 
          evolution cannot occur except on the basis of the original film - after 
          all artificially added elements have been eliminated. The latter is 
          conditional on a return to the PURITY of the centers, especially the 
          emotional center which - at least at the start - is the sole receptacle 
          of Cosmic Solar influences.
        Cassiopaeans:
          Q: (L) Are instincts different from emotions? 
          A:Yes. 
          Q: (L) How can you tell the difference between instinctive knowledge 
          and emotional reactions? 
          A: Emotions involve wishful thinking, instincts are "gut feelings," 
          psychic in nature, and are stronger. When it is wishful thinking, there 
          is always psychic instinct seeping through which you can access if you 
          use reason and examine your lessons of the past. 
          Q: (L) Is it also correct that emotion can be used to mislead, that 
          is emotions that are twisted and generated strictly from the flesh or 
          false programming? 
          A: Emotion that limits is an impediment to progress. Emotion is also 
          necessary to make progress in 3rd density. It is natural. When you begin 
          to separate limiting emotions based on assumptions from emotions that 
          open one to unlimited possibilities, that means you are preparing for 
          the next density. 
          Q: (L) What about Love? 
          A: What about it? 
          Q: (L) There are many teachings that are promulgated that Love is the 
          key, the answer. They say that illumination and knowledge and what-not 
          can all be achieved through love. 
          A: The problem is not the term "love," the problem is the 
          interpretation of the term. Those on third density have a tendency to 
          confuse the issue horribly. After all, they confuse many things as love. 
          When the actual definition of love as you know it is not correct either. 
          It is not necessarily a feeling that one has that can also be interpreted 
          as an emotion, but rather, as we have told you before, the essence of 
          light which is knowledge is love, and this has been corrupted when it 
          is said that love leads to illumination. Love is Light is Knowledge. 
          Love makes no sense when common definitions are used as they are in 
          your environment. To love you must know. And to know is to have light. 
          And to have light is to love. And to have knowledge is to love. 
        Mouravieff:
          The heart must therefore be pure, and if not already pure, it must be 
          purified. This is the sine qua non condition of success.
        All the 
          discussion of lying in all its aspects is given to emphasize the absolute 
          need for purifying the heart, and for beginning to re-educate the emotional 
          center in a positive direction. [Remember, the emotions are represented 
          by the horse pulling the coach.]
        This necessity 
          explains the meaning of the words of Jesus: "Except you turn, and 
          become as little children, you shall in no wise enter into the kingdom 
          of heaven."
        This refers 
          specifically to the emotional life. Many have interpreted this as a 
          restriction on the development of the intellect. This is a huge mistake. 
          Intelligence and intellect must be developed and stimulated. The admonition 
          to "become as little children" only points to the need for 
          purity of the centers, NOT the idea of keeping them in a primitive state.
        Paul wrote: 
          Brothers, be not children in that which concerns judgment, be children 
          in what concerns malice, but as to judgment, be fully grown men."
        ***
        It is 
          now time to turn to a possible short cut in esoteric work which can 
          rapidly take us to the second Threshold. 
        This is 
          a possibility offered to Polar beings, those couples described by the 
          ancient Tradition in the myth of the Androgyne.
        On the 
          basis of the preceding analysis, the essential data for the film of 
          any ordinary person can be described as follows: as the hero of the 
          romance of his own life, the subject must necessarily be the star of 
          the film.
        But he 
          can also play a minor role in the film of people who play a secondary 
          role in his own film. In this way, each film gets enmeshed with other 
          films, where the same people are found in totally different situations.
        One must 
          also distinguish between two categories of actors. 
        The first 
          are really part of the cast. A definite role is assigned to them: they 
          are organically tied to the film.
        The second 
          group only appear by accident in the film, drawn into the action by 
          the free movements of the hero. This complexity is further increased 
          because some of the actors who have genuine parts in the film play their 
          roles badly, while others play roles which are not their own. Situations 
          like this are widespread.
        The human 
          Personality is an organism with multiple parts or facets, 987 to be 
          exact. In the ideal case, only realized by polar beings, and the only 
          effective one from the esoteric point of view, the 987 facets of man 
          and woman are strictly polar. These are the predestined husband and 
          wife whose union will create a true couple.
        However, 
          the cast contains other people, who play roles organically tied to that 
          of the hero, and who are necessary to bring the film in its ensemble 
          to its natural end. these are friend souls, brother souls, sister souls, 
          collaborating souls, servant souls, etc. The Personalities of each of 
          them have a certain number of facts identical to those of the hero, 
          for actors of the same sex, or polar for actors of the opposite sex. 
          In the case of brothers and sisters, the number of identical or polar 
          facets can be as many as half or even more.
        The lack 
          of discernment and of sincerity towards ourselves, the innate desire 
          to find a perfect resonance to the vibration of our soul, and the impatience 
          that follows, all multiplied by the action of the General Law [of accident], 
          induce us too often to contract unions which can only result in absurd 
          situations. Instead of resisting the mirage; instead of waiting and 
          seeking, we slip into imperfect unions, which are a source of suffering 
          both for the partners and their children. In addition, these unions 
          alter the meaning of the film in its ensemble, and so corrupt the personal 
          lives of all the actors in the drama. Lastly, the esoteric results foreseen 
          in the initial composition of the film are gravely compromised.
        It is 
          as a result of considering on the matrimonial plane, or through lack 
          of consideration on the sexual plane, that most of our errors are committed, 
          including those which demand the heaviest payment.
        Even beings 
          of good faith are not exempt from error.
        To confuse 
          a brother or sister soul for husband or wife compounds very complicated 
          situations, especially from the esoteric point of view. The situation 
          is all the more confused when children are born from such unions.
        Life then 
          takes on the character of a perpetual compromise with oneself. the moral 
          and physical health of "accidentally united couples" suffers: 
          with changes in the intellectual center due to cheating and lying; heart 
          disease if the emotional center is sensitive and still aspires to the 
          truth; also diseases of obscure origin, of which cancer is one that 
          attacks the body in its most fragile parts. In every case, the condition 
          necessarily leads to permanent loss of fine energies which, in its turn, 
          brings on accelerated aging and leads to premature death.
        Difficult 
          as are these situations that arise out of our errors, they must not 
          prevent anyone who throws himself into esoteric work from finding the 
          courage in himself to look them in the face and to search for a satisfactory 
          outcome. If the Devil - the General Law - tries to lead us into new 
          errors to obstruct our esoteric evolution, the supporting hand of the 
          Lord is always stretched out to help us. Yet our minds, too rational 
          and too realistic, often stop us from sensing this help.
        When a 
          situation has been entangled by our errors, the Gordian knot must NOT 
          be cut, it must be untied in such a way that the participants, both 
          tied by the same knot, feel only relief at the disappearance of a situation 
          which was simply a source of suffering for both.
        If the 
          situation is resolved, the original meaning of the film and its normal 
          development can be found.
        The ensemble 
          of people organically linked in one film forms a team. In the initial 
          conception of the film, this team must attain a predetermined aim as 
          a result of the way the participants play their roles in the play of 
          life. This esoteric aim is always different from the aims we follow 
          under the influences of the General Law [the Matrix]
        The objective 
          for such a team always has an esoteric meaning in fact, though the Personalities 
          which compose it may be very different. they will share a deep need: 
          a desire to end lies and illusions once and for all, the escape the 
          domination of the [Predator's mind] and, in one form or another, to 
          reach that objective existence in which man finds his real "I" 
          and identifies himself with it.
        Here we 
          must describe the principal law which underlies the formation of these 
          teams. On the material plane, the greatest reward goes to him who commands. 
          On the esoteric plane, the greatest reward goes to him who serves.
        The confusion 
          between these two important master ideas - that of commanding and of 
          serving - sometimes appears dramatic. Even among Jesus' disciples, the 
          question of knowing who was greatest among them tormented them.
        The more 
          evolved the team, the more important the task entrusted to it. History 
          provides examples of the work of teams in all fields. the role of women 
          in teams is particularly marked in crucial periods of the history of 
          peoples.
        [...]Once 
          the First Threshold is crossed, esoteric work will begin to reveal 
          the true meaning of the film. Man must proceed with an impartial 
          analysis of its contents: the role that each of the actors plays in 
          it - and the value of this role - must be passed through a sieve. 
        Gradually, 
          as this stripping work progresses, the positive or negative character 
          of different roles emerges more and more clearly. After this, inappropriate 
          elements tend to disappear from the scene. 
        At the 
          end of this analysis, the film will contain only a reduced number of 
          actors. but all of them are organically bound together, and with the 
          hero, by the contents of the play, as it was conceived from the beginning 
          of these experiences... which are pursued by the real "I" 
          through centuries or even millennia. The play must then be played out 
          to its resolution or denouement.
        The basic 
          task of man, once he has crossed the first Threshold, is to shelter 
          himself from the karmic influences which are the effects of errors committed 
          in his free movements, either in the present life or in the past. In 
          the past, workers used to go to some monastery or hermitage where they 
          were able to concentrate on introspective work. In the present, our 
          times require energetic and rapid methods.
        Our last 
          question is to examine the method whereby the Staircase between the 
          two Thresholds can be climbed more quickly, while we remain and work 
          in the contemporary world.
        This means 
          exists: it is to work as a couple. However, for this esoteric work to 
          be completed successfully by two people, it is essential that the two 
          beings - man and woman - are integrally polar.
        Cassiopaeans:
          Q: (L) Let me ask a question. Earlier they said something about being 
          on the threshold of an experience. And now they say something is going 
          to unfold in front of you. Are the two response "threshold" 
          and "unfold in front of you," connected? 
          A: Of course!!! 
          Q: (L) Okay, he is on the threshold of some kind of experience. Is there 
          some way that we might identify this experience? Is it going to be so 
          outstanding that you can't miss it? Or, is it going to be something 
          that you have to pay attention to or you might miss it? 
          A: What does "threshold" imply? 
          Q: (L) Well, a door. It's a door. Does this mean he is going to go through 
          a door, psychically, spiritually, physically? Going to someone's house? 
          
          A: It does not just imply a "door," but also one's positioning, 
          and a sense of inevitability. 
          Q: (L) Is there something I can do to help? 
          A: Have you not helped already? 
          Q: (L) But, I mean specifically in this "threshold" and "unfolding" 
          experience? 
          A: Yes! And, by the way, Arkadiusz, science is most spiritual indeed! 
          
          Q: (L) Well, considering certain other elements, I was just wondering 
          if our pathways are supposed to now be parallel or diverge... how they 
          relate from this point... 
          A: Seems to us that your pathways are intertwining! 
          Q: (L) The use of the word "intertwining" is curious. You 
          used that in regard to the relationship between EM and gravity. Is there 
          a parallel? 
          A: If you wish. [...]
          Q: (L) One last question: you say "combine energies." Is there any reason 
          why this will facilitate the pursuit of answers? 
          A: Complementary souls. 
        Mouravieff:
          In the "long path," by successive elimination based on long 
          and minute analysis of his film, and after new errors and new failures, 
          man may end by finding his legitimate spouse, a fully integral polar 
          being with whom to unite himself.
        In the 
          "short path", man must begin by a conscious search for his 
          polar being. If found, they can work together on the film which - in 
          its origin - is common to them both.
        A man 
          alone is incomplete. But just where he is weak, his polar being is strong. 
          together, they form an integral being: their union leads to the fusion 
          of their Personalities and a faster crystallization of their complete 
          subtle bodies, united into a common second Birth. 
        This is 
          the redemption of "original sin."
        The system 
          of films is conceived in such a way that polar beings will necessarily 
          meet in life, in certain cases more than once. Only the confused ties 
          contracted in this life by each of them, as a result of their free movements, 
          combined with the karmic consequences of one or more previous experiences, 
          can divert the man or woman from the ONLY being with whom they could 
          from a Micro cosmos.
        If there 
          were no karmic debt, everything would go wonderfully: two young people 
          would meet in the most favorable family and social atmosphere, and their 
          union would represent a true fairy-tale. But this is not reality.
        Obeying 
          the principle of Imperfection, and moved by the action of the General 
          Law, the two predestined beings will commit errors. Deeply buried in 
          lies, they do not generally know how to appreciate the gift they are 
          given. Often, they do not even recognize each other.
        If this 
          is the case, then an agonizing question is put: is there one or more 
          means to detect our polar being, and if so, what are these means?
        To meet 
          that person, to do so without recognition, to let our polar being pass 
          by, is the worst mistake we could possibly make: because we would remain 
          in our factitious life, without light. 
        Must not 
          everything be sacrificed in favor of a union which is the only chance 
          of our life: the promise of return to paradise lost?
        Nevertheless 
          we should beware of the last trap, one we can fall into just at the 
          moment when ineffable happiness seems to smile upon us. 
        We have 
          just said: all must be sacrifices; we have not said: all must be broken.
        If, having 
          recognized one another, the two polar beings triumph over this last 
          ordeal or test, often the most painful, the new life, will open in front 
          of them, as they are then called to be One on earth and in heaven.
        But let 
          us now return to the question of knowing how not to pass by after having 
          met our true alter ago, the pledge of happiness and salvation.
        There 
          is a whole series of subjective and objective clues which assist us 
          in recognizing our polar being. The polarization is manifested on ALL 
          planes simultaneously: sexual, physical, mental and spiritual.
        Two elements 
          must be taken into consideration: If it is correct to say that the predestined 
          man and woman are absolutely polar beings, this polarity is not simple 
          because, to a certain measure, both are physically, mentally and spiritually 
          hermaphroditic beings. That measure, that proportion, is at the same 
          time, sufficient and necessary. It is necessary to permit every being 
          coming into this world to carry within himself the image of the polar 
          being; this image is expressed, in each case, by means of the organ 
          of the opposite sex which exists in every being in a state of non-development. 
          It is, so to say, a part of the flesh and blood of his polar being that 
          each one of us carries within himself. this proportion is sufficient, 
          that is, it is the absolute minimum that will not jeopardize the complete 
          polarity, since the proportion of hermaphroditism in both polar beings 
          is strictly equivalent.
        The second 
          element, which is subjective, is the distortion of our personality due 
          to conscious or unconscious deviations to which the initial film was 
          subject during the course of our existence. Distortions of this kind 
          make it more difficult to recognize the polar being, and can make us 
          less willing to exert ourselves to unite with that being.
        [...] 
          It is the Androgyne who constitutes a true Micro cosmos, not the isolated 
          man or woman. The creation of man in the image and likeness of god was 
          in the form of the Androgyne: this description refers to the joint astral 
          body of two polar beings.
        For man 
          as for woman, salvation in the bosom of the Absolute depends on their 
          reintegration in the Micro cosmos, as Paul indicates explicitly: "neither 
          is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman in the Lord." 
          
        Man and 
          woman are in fact, incomplete beings who - taken apart - cannot reflect 
          in His fullness the image of God who is all in all.
        it is 
          an axiom that every man and every woman has a polar being.
        Nevertheless, 
          not all human beings feel the imperative need to be united to their 
          polar being. Beings who live enclosed in their Personality without thinking 
          deeply - which constitutes the great majority of humanity - enthusiastically 
          involve themselves in a life ruled by material influences, and do not 
          really feel the need for such a union. For them, the polar being is 
          on the same plane as everyone else. The Personality does not perceive 
          anything exceptional in him, and if by some chance an extraordinary 
          impression is experienced, it is instead felt as something abnormal 
          and embarrassing.
        We can 
          speak of couples formed under the influence of the Law of Accident in 
          which the partners have opposite aspirations. At the base of such unions 
          we often find, beside a double error of judgment, the influences of 
          karmic debt, remote or recent. the most intelligent attitude to take 
          on such occasions is to unite the efforts of the couple to unravel the 
          situation to their mutual benefit. Left to itself, the situation will 
          only get worse.
        Very special 
          care must be taken of the children of such a union, as they suffer within 
          the union. Everything must be done to remedy this. As a general rule, 
          we must not lose sight of the fact that, even if it is permitted to 
          the human being to offer himself in sacrifice, he has no right to accept 
          the sacrifice of others. To sacrifice yourself to a union that is formed 
          under the law of accident only teaches your children to do likewise 
          and hinders their possibilities of ever discovering their own polar 
          being.
        Accelerated 
          evolution of the hero of a film via work on the self - i.e. purification 
          - brings him ever nearer to his polar being. At the same time, it automatically 
          removes from the film those personalities who are not organically integral.
        After 
          the formation of the magnetic center within him, man starts to feel 
          the desire, the need, to be united to his polar being. This desire and 
          need will increase in proportion to the growth of the latter. 
        The concept 
          of the Androgyne has purely mythical or theoretical value for ordinary 
          man. But we now realize that a living aspiration to be re-integrated 
          in the Micro cosmos - the most direct way to the re-integration in the 
          Absolute - is the fruit of a high moral culture within the individual.
        As mentioned, 
          esoteric evolution is conditioned at the start by bankruptcy, a moral 
          breakdown. To make progress after this, man must know exactly where 
          he stands. He must SEE himself. 
        Isaac 
          the Syrian said that he who has been able to see himself as he IS, is 
          better than he who has seen angels.
        what we 
          call bankruptcy, the ancient traditions call "death." It is 
          death while still in a living body. One must first die, then be resurrected. 
          
         By progressively 
          taking his fate into his own hands, man at the same time takes responsibility 
          for ALL the partners in his film.
        He must 
          restore the original meaning of his film, then push the development 
          of the latter in such a way that the "play" be properly played 
          out to its intended denouement.
        The hero, 
          while working on himself, must apply himself to create new circumstances 
          around him, which will enhance the unfolding of the action towards its 
          originally intended conclusion. 
        His exterior 
          efforts must above all be directed towards the creation of these circumstances, 
          NOT towards seeking direct influence over people. Such direct influence 
          over people may seem opportune, but it is an error. Instead of unraveling 
          the situation, the influence creates karmic debts which complicate things 
          all the more. One must be very prudent and circumspect.
        Yet new 
          circumstances must be created in a way that effectively helps those 
          interested to act in the direction desired.
        Once again: 
          man should seek to serve, not to impose himself. 
        Patience, 
          perseverance and faith are qualities of great practical value in this 
          work.
        For man 
          to recognize his polar being, he must be fully attentive on all planes 
          accessible to his consciousness. In fact, as a result of the distortion 
          of the film, the meeting always occurs in circumstances and in a manner 
          least expected, generally at a moment and in a form which resembles 
          nothing he could ever have imagined.
        The rule 
          is precise: to recognize his polar being, man must know himself. 
        This is 
          obviously logical: to recognize his alter ego, man must first recognize 
          his own ego.
        We are 
          thus confronted once again with the problem of the search for the way.
        It is 
          true that the "I" of the body, like the "I" of the 
          personality, aspire to find the perfect response from another being. 
          This means that ONLY by identifying himself more and more with his REAL 
          "I" that a man magnetizes the union with his polar being.
        It is 
          with a heart full of faith, sharpening within himself his highest faculties 
          of intuition and attention, his sense of critical analysis taken to 
          the highest point of alertness, that man will go in search of the being 
          without whom he is not real. 
        As it 
          was for the troubadour long ago, it is in Courtly Love that he can hope 
          to find and recognize "la Dame de ses Pensees."
        The difficulty 
          we find in discovering our polar beings lies in the fact that we are 
          deformed, and constantly distort our film by free movements. We must 
          rectify our own distortion and renounce our impulsive movements. This 
          explains the prescription not to act under the influence of only one 
          center. It is the necessity to correct for our distortion, which, logically, 
          imposes on us the need, both in reception and transmission, for conscious 
          effort to make our emotional and intellectual centers work together.
        When polar 
          beings meet, by what immediately perceptible signs can humans who are 
          still imperfect, still deformed by karmic debt, be certain in all objectivity 
          that they are not making a mistake?
        Here are 
          some indispensable criteria that can have objective value in mutual 
          recognition.
        From the 
          first meeting, in the presence of the polar being, both the "I" 
          of the Personality and the "I" of the body vibrate in a manner 
          which resembles nothing ever felt before. 
        The reason 
          for this is that these "I's" find themselves then in the presence 
          of their First Love which continues through the centuries. Without clearly 
          being conscious of it, the polar beings know each other; and this knowledge, 
          as ancient as they are themselves, is expressed by the voice of their 
          subconsciousness. This creates an atmosphere of absolute confidence 
          and SINCERITY from the moment they meet.
        Q: (L) Last Sunday morning, I had a very strange experience similar 
          to what Al-Arabi describes as being in a 'state.' It was like being 
          taken up into a condition of near madness, Ark was there [as in a vision], 
          and then, when [the intensity of the emotion] became unbearable, I deliberately 
          pulled myself back and I was cold, shaking and rocking. I was shivering 
          like I would never get warm and I could FEEL my soul rocking in my body. 
          I would like to know exactly what this was? 
          A: Balancing of half-self. 
          Q: (L) What is a half-self? 
          A: Your starter version, relating to birth karmic imprint. 
          Q: (L) What in the world does THAT mean? 
          A: What you were assigned with at the onset of this incarnation. What 
          you started with. This must be periodically re-balanced at apex of significant 
          junctures. 
          Q: (L) The next thing that happened was that a few days later, I went 
          unconscious and Ark saw me come in the window [5 thousand miles away]. 
          What happened? 
          A: Learning is fun! 
        Q: As you know, there is a flood in Poland, and Ark has to go back, 
          there is so much that must be done, but the government offices may be 
          closed, the court session may be delayed indefinitely, God knows what 
          is going to happen. What is the source of this dreadful disaster in 
          Poland? 
          A: Sopophoric screen alterations of the magnetic belt overlay. 
          Q: And what is causing these screen alterations of the magnetic belt 
          overlay? 
          A: Influences of Acquiim. 
          Q: What is Acquiim? 
          A: 4th density overseer. 
          Q: Does that mean sporofic screen alteration? 
          A: Soporific/phosphorous. 
          Q: What is the purpose of this screen alteration? 
          A: Deterrence of colinear wave reading consciousness units. 
          Q: What is a 'colinear wave reading consciousness unit?' 
          A: Suggest you "look in the mirror." 
          Q: Well! I don't know if I like being a colinear wave reading consciousness 
          unit! 
          A: Why not? 
          Q: Because I don't like feeling responsible for all these people who 
          are suffering in this disaster! 
          A: Responsible? Are you altering the weather? 
          Q: Well, no. But, if they will go to that extent to thwart us, is it 
          safe for him to go back? 
          A: If he takes precautions. [...]
          Q: When you said 'colinear wave reading consciousness units,' and 'look 
          in the mirror,' was that a clue that Ark and I are mirror image consciousness 
          units? 
          A: Not exactly. 
          Q: Well, in a previous session, you said something about being a 'half 
          soul,' and my assumption was that he was a half-soul and I was a half-soul, 
          and together we made a whole soul. But, since that time, I have wondered 
          about this... 
          A: No one is unto themselves a half soul.
          Q: Okay, what would give me a more clear understanding about 'half soul 
          balancing?' 
          A: The soul as read as a unit of completion. It is the communication 
          which completes the whole in each. 
          Q: What are the potentials of colinear wave reading consciousness units? 
          
          A: Specifics. 
          Q: Well, if an overseer in 4th density wishes to prevent unification 
          of same, there must be some reason; that there is something that the 
          4th density STS would not like to see happen. What is it? 
          A: Is that not self-evident? 
          Q: So, does that mean that it is important for us to be physically together 
          to do whatever this is? 
          A: Tis preferable. 
        ***
        This is 
          the Touchstone: for polar beings do NOT LIE to each other. They do not 
          need to lie, for inwardly both are one single being, from the depths 
          of which the real "I" issues his call and gives his assent.
