Teaching Materials  FOR Apprentice Grade

 Introduction

             Last  month we started on the path of unmasking the various illusions, or con-tricks, which are used to control your life. The first one we discussed was Government, The Law and Country; and you will remember that we concentrated firstly on the law.

             You will recall  that I stated that the 'law', as inherited by us, is nothing more than a rag-bag accretion of other people’s whims, fantasies, hobby-horses and beliefs concerning how they think you should be controlled. I also made the point that some laws are obviously sensible, but that you could probably throw out 90% of existing laws without much affecting society.

            We also discussed beliefs. I explained that most people have never examined their real reasons for believing anything, and that they simply trot-out a selection of 'responses' to any given situation. We talked about the erroneous reasons for believing things, such as  DOGMA, FASHION, EGO, EMPATHY, LABELS, ASSOCIATION, SAFE & SIMPLE, VESTED INTEREST and EXPERIENCE.          

            We then went on to discuss how people's so-called 'morality' was loosely based on one or more of these silly and erroneous reasons for believing things.

            You will also recall how I explained that the law-makers always gain a hidden payoff for doing their 'selfless', 'good' works, and that this payoff (not always money) is the real reason why they act in such an 'altruistic' fashion. We then went on to explain that there was no such thing (to all intents and purposes) as true altruism, and that you should always assume that someone who claims to be altruistic is really just using this as a weapon in order to extract life-values from you.

            I then explained how society is becoming ever more rigorously controlled by secondary laws, rules and regulations. Whilst a few of these secondary laws are useful, the vast majority of them are there to control your behaviour and keep you a good, compliant, docile sheep who will be content to stay in a small pen, and not attempt to head for greener pastures.

      These secondary laws are laws which make it illegal to do something ‘just in case’ your actions might result in harming another human being. For example, I heard recently that a man was sentenced to seven years in jail for planning (not committing) an armed robbery. This means that he was sitting in the pub with his friend discussing how best to break into Lloyds Bank (or wherever).

            He received a seven year sentence for just talking about this possible crime!!

            This is a symptom of society's quest for ultimate safety and security - even though this is an unattainable Holy Grail. I told you that, as an Inner Circle Initiate, it was greatly to your advantage that the sheep were willing to be controlled by these laws, rules and regulations, because that leaves you free to live your life with POWER and FREEDOM. This sort of thinking is central to Inner Circle philosophy, and now that you are starting to move up the grades, I want you to begin to accept this philosophy as an integral part of the way you act and live your daily life.

            Let me explain this absolutely central theme once again:

            As you move up through the grades of Inner Circle, you will be given the keys to free yourself from the illusions, or con-tricks which control you. This causes two things to happen. Firstly you become completely awake. Secondly, you realise that the sheep are fast asleep, but that it is greatly to your advantage that they remain so. It is because the sheep remain asleep that you are able to achieve POWER and FREEDOM.

            Now I want to explain this a little further in case you think that this sounds an incredibly selfish philosophy. In a sense, it is 'selfish', but that word is simply another weapon (sense of duty/honour/fairness) which other people have used to control your behaviour over many years.

            You see, there is nothing wrong with you achieving freedom at the 'expense' of the mass of fast-asleep sheep, because you are guilt-free as an open-initiate. In other words, you didn't put them to sleep. You're not even helping to keep them asleep. They just are (and always will be) asleep. Do you see the difference? This just leaves the small question which goes as follows: "Okay, I know I didn't cause the sheep to fall asleep, but with my new-found power and freedom, isn't it my duty to help wake some more people up? Wouldn't an honourable person do this? Isn't it only fair that others should share in my  freedom and power?" Etc., etc.

            You notice that I deliberately chose a few weapons in the above statement. Weapons like DUTY, FAIRNESS, HONOUR. Well, I have to tell you that, as an Initiate, you cannot subscribe to the statement above. I acknowledge that it will take you a little longer (you must become a higher grade) before you truly understand this, but let me explain why the Initiate does not try and wake-up the mass of sheep:

1.         It is not, repeat NOT his life-mission to 'save' humanity from itself. Rather, he/she is intent on living a happy, joyous, guilt-free existence in a world of misery and suffering. It is by example, if at all, that the Initiate has an effect on his fellow man. If they look at you with wonder and awe and seek to emulate you, then this is good.

2.         As I mentioned last month, it is a completely, utterly futile and pointless task trying to wake up the sheep in a fit of altruistic zeal. It is a totally crazy stunt, akin to trying to empty-out the Pacific ocean with a teaspoon. Try it, if you like, but you are wasting your time. One of the benefits enjoyed by higher grade Initiates is that they realise these truths, and don't waste any of their life-energies attempting to alter the unalterable.

3.         It is not certain that waking the sheep would be a 'good' thing; even if it were possible - which it isn't. So you could struggle and strive and pour your life-energies into this hopeless task, and still have a net 'bad' or 'evil' effect on society as a whole. Again, higher grade Initiates take as few decisions as possible, they do not become involved in causes, charities, or 'saving' the world. They act like this because they know (in the deepest possible way) that they do not have enough information to take decisions for other people. They are not gods.They are not omniscient. They do not even have an 'off the shelf' moral code to guide their behaviour. The result? They wouldn't presume to act in a way which would alter another human's life-course. They certainly wouldn't do this out of some sense of altruism, or 'doing good' because they haven't the remotest idea of whether their actions will result in net 'good' or net 'evil' - whatever these two concepts mean anyway!

            Instead, whilst the 'do-gooders' of this world are fussing around trying to interfere with the lives of other people, trying to 'show them the way' or 'lead them into the light' or 'save their souls', or 'rebuild their country', the Initiate is living a POWERFUL, FREE, and JOYOUS life.

            The above discussion is very important for you. If you are to progress through the levels and become fully empowered, then you must agree with the main points of this discussion sooner or later. I accept that this will be a 'sticking point' for some of you, just as it will be blatantly obvious for others! All Initiates, as they rise through the grades, have their own particular 'sticking point(s)'.

            For the moment, I want you to understand that the high-grade Initiate has almost no opinions, no views and has a strict policy of non-interference. This stance is based on true knowledge, wisdom and understanding. It comes from having an absolutely coherent philosophy of life. In stark contrast, the sheep think they have understanding of a particular situation, when in reality they have absolutely none whatsoever. The sheep think they are 'moral', 'decent' and 'upright' citizens, when in reality they are fast-asleep, hypocritical, controlled robots!

            One of the most difficult things for you to achieve at this stage of your initiation, is to examine your 'morals' and your 'beliefs' and to realise that they are all just so much hand-me-down crap! The next trick is to chuck the whole lot away, and start again!

            It is at this stage of your initiation that you are most likely to 'fail' or dropout. It can cause a real anxiety attack when you attempt to throw out all this second-hand junk. Many people just can't bring themselves to do it. This is because they crave security, and will cling-on to their old 'world-view' like a drowning man will cling to a straw.
