There’s no such thing as a static process.  It’s all moving, can’t stick your foot in the river twice or whatever.  So it’s a moving fluid process which we get to be the means by which this takes place, the great grace that has been given us. We are that means.  To deny the moving fluid process, moving for its own expression and freezing it into a fixed system is a result of culture.  My claim in both of my last books was that you have the fluid movement with no place to lay its head representing the probably mythological or certainly mythological overlaid and highly romanticized figure of Jesus underneath which there has to have been a real event.  And the counter acting force of Paul who has his own Metanoia his own great insights and so forth, and uses this figure, this mythological overlaid romantic figure, as his own ploy in setting up a new system of control, prediction and control over a populace. 

There is no reality for the human being except through some kind of filtering device like that.  And the fact that it can vary from culture to culture generally it means small variations and overall agreement throughout the world.  People like the Signoi or the Tibetans as they once were, or the Australian Aborigine or even the Kalahari kung they were a particular filter that is particular to that culture and not found universally.  But universally language, that’s not part of it, I mean all these things are colorations within the overall cultural construct in which we as modern civilized people live.  And so you can have all these colorations and yet within an overall framework we can go to Europe, we can go to all sorts of other countries and get along pretty well.  So we’re sharing certain very concrete filters but now you get into when the culture is threatened how it protects itself and all the sudden the idea is that their culture is almost like a living entity from all these inputs. They’re what we would call a field effect. And there we get into the fact of culture can very easily become extremely virtually demonic and destructive and inhibiting to us and crushing us down.  So the culture which we have to have can be either negative or positive or any of the shades in between.

This movement of the human being, what we call this evolution or whatever all that might be, is moving toward a very specific not end goal but a very specific pattern of being which is guided.  And of course that is a anathema to the scientific community and to most of the cultural communities.  But that sounds like religion but of course you’re talking about a purely fluid process which we could even describe as love seeking its own identity as Plotinus did a long time ago and that’s legitimate too. But we are each that.  That’s who we are.  That’s our nature.  And so we interpret it of course as my yearning, my longing of the heart, my seeking for fulfillment and so on.  That’s exactly what the game is all about. There’s nothing wrong.  So to say there’s a guiding image from above is simply to set up the two polarities through which this receptacle interaction can take place.  There’s no such thing as a static process.  It’s all moving, can’t stick your foot in the river twice or whatever.  So it’s a moving fluid process which we get to be the means by which this takes place, the great grace that has been given us. We are that means.  To deny the moving fluid process, moving for its own expression and freezing it into a fixed system is a result of culture.  My claim in both of my last books was that you have the fluid movement with no place to lay its head representing the probably mythological or certainly mythological overlaid and highly romanticized figure of Jesus underneath which there has to have been a real event.  And the counter acting force of Paul who has his own Metanoia his own great insights and so forth, and uses this figure, this mythological overlaid romantic figure, as his own ploy in setting up a new system of control, prediction and control over a populace.  We’ve had a religious organization called church with all of its number of variations simply as a part of culture’s way of controlling behavior of the population.  And that fluid incredible journey is truncated and we all feel it.  Whatever we were suppose to be we didn’t get to be it.  I think of the teenager with the great longing that erupts within them, the tremendous longing for something tremendous that’s suppose to happen and great anticipation and so on.  So that curtailed by culture and you’re given all these synthetic counterfeits of it or cultural counterfeits.  Attain this and this longing will go away.  And of course that doesn’t happen at all.
