TWO MONKS IN A TUB

What America represents: true
freedom for the individual;
freedom of expression of the
individual.

Freedom of speech is one of
those inalienable rights of
the individual in America
incorporated into the
first ten amendments
which constitute
what are called
the Bill of
Rights.

A "man" or "woman"
cannot "do" anything
and, in fact, everything
is "done" in him or her,
and this corresponds with
what ordinary life science
says about men and women.

For example, people will react
to this video seeing me smoking
in the bathtub again as not staying
true to an effort to quit smoking. WORK IS STRUGGLE! NOT ABOUT SMOKING OR QUITTING SMOKING! But this is a part
of the same bathtub videos that I
published earlier before I began
an effort in connection with the
habit of smoking cigarettes. What
does this say about others who
do not wish you well BUT ONLY
WISH THAT YOU WILL FAIL? It
is all mechanical behavior,
they know not what they do.

In Beelzebub's Tales, Ashiata
Shiemash taught the greatest
commandment of all to never
kill another EVEN IF IT IS
AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN LIFE!
Ponder on the meaning of this
commandment if you wish to
understand what to "do" and
what "doing" means.

There was a time
when there were. . . .

" . . . . still preserved in
the instinct of the Asiatic
beings the results of the
influence of the 'initiates'
and 'priests,' disciples of
the Very Saintly Ashiata
Shiemash, who through their
sermons had inculcated one
of the chief commandments
of Ashiata Shiemash, which
declared:

'DO NOT KILL ANOTHER EVEN WHEN
YOUR OWN LIFE IS IN DANGER.'

"Profiting by this, these
former fishermen and shepherds
could advance very easily,
destroying on their way all
those who declined to worship
the 'gods' they themselves had
adopted, that is to say, their
FANTASTIC 'SCIENCES' and their
PHENOMENAL 'DEPRAVITY.'

"These 'SOWERS OF EVIL' for
all the three-brained beings
of all succeeding generations
arising on the continent of
Europe—especially the Greeks—
moved into the interior of the
continent of Asia, progressing
slowly to be sure, yet effectively."
--Gurdjieff, ch 29
--Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson
--fruits of former civilizations

"But to the misfortune of
everything existing in the
Megalocosmos, there is no
honesty in your favorites
in fulfilling their duties,
not even toward that Nature
to whom, in truth, they owe
their very existence.

"As regards the absence
of honesty in your favorites
in the fulfillment of their
duty toward Nature, I have
just remembered a very wise
saying of our incomparable
teacher Mullah Nasr Eddin,
the hidden meaning of
which is borne out in
the present case.

"'Plague and cholera are
in any event nobler than
human honesty, for people
with a conscience can at
least live at peace with
them.'(ch 43)"

REAL CONSCIENCE
AS A GUIDE FOR
RIGHT ACTION:

Real Conscience as a positive emotion
is a guide for us for right action because
it is in the light of Real Conscience as it
comes through from Real "I" that we can look
on our contradictory selves and simply see
the various contradictions as we are seen
from a higher level and in this way we
can get an idea of how we are looked
on by what is highest in us. We
cannot do this willy nilly by
"decision" alone, but if we
try WE GET AN IDEA and for
a moment we can see how we
have been without any
positive emotion and
this is what Real
Conscience is.

And then there is
what Gurdjieff said
here about men and women
in quotation marks in chapter
48 of Beelzebub's Tales:

"Here it will not be
superfluous to point
out that the Institute
for the Harmonious Development
of Man has among its fundamental
tasks the aim, on the one hand,
of educating in its pupils
each of the independent
personalities I spoke of,
first separately and then
in their reciprocal
relationships,
according to the
needs of their
subjective life
in the future,
and on the other
hand, of begetting
and fostering in each
of its pupils what every
bearer of the name of 'man
without quotation marks'
should have—-his own
'I.'"
--Gurdjieff
--ch 48, from the author

I have no doubt that the police officials who

read my work see me as a total psychotic, AND I ADMIT THAT I HAVE BEEN, SINCE MUCH OF WHAT I

HAVE WRITTEN IS TOTAL SHIT OF WHICH I READILY

AND PAINFULLY ADMIT, but, and I will say it again, the difference is that YES I AGREE, AND ALSO THE DIFFERENCE IS HONESTY WITH ONESELF . . . there is not any violence or

threats of any kind directed to anyone nor to myself, nor am I gravely disabled.

[Shiemash51]

It is a fact that there exists a property,

which is inherent in every ordinary man, to whichever class he may belong and

whatever his age, that, whenever he thinks about something concrete outside himself, then his muscles instantly strain, that is

to say vibrate, in the direction taken by his

thoughts, and I have discovered from

experience that such muscular

"magnetic tension" is real. I will then

harmlessly and silently sit until that tension

passes unto liberation.

[Shiemash51]

In reality, what we are speaking of are the "involuntary manifestations" of neurosis and, as Gurdjieff said, it is involuntary manifestations that are the true cause of so-called "evil" in the world. Negative involuntary manifestations for most people are those associated with anger, resentment and hostility.

[Shiemash51]

All violence has its roots in not understanding one another. When a man acts

through violence, he acts without understanding. A man is not his size, his money, position, birth, strength, or his prestige, reputation, or distinctions,

or his religion. A man is his understanding.

A saying which is known throughout Persia:

"LET GOD KILL HIM WHO HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW

AND YET PRESUMES TO SHOW OTHERS THE WAY

TO THE DOORS OF HIS KINGDOM"

How is that so wrong?

Ok...I have no reason to doubt that you guys aren't a romatic couple. You've never lied to me before right? I don't object to your lifestyle. If you were homosexual then I would have more to say. It's too bad the general population is 'uptight' about stuff like this. Myself included. To be able to just hang out with your buddy in a tub and not have any sexual agenda would be pretty cool. All the best to you guys.
