TAT Meeting - November 29, 1980

Sublimation of sex is the basis for all civilization.

This has also created a super-monkey. We are on the verge of going either way – toward a further civilization or toward making sex a part of the master plan.

Transmission Papers – Even the energy for thought has to be delivered from the physical body (begins with carbohydrates in the body). The object is to get the maximum value from it.

A whole way of life is involved. Oxidation is necessary. Quantum comes by oxidation of the energy in the body.

You can use this energy any way you want. But you must make this your priority. You can’t be a wise man and a millionaire both.

Indifference is necessary in this use, same as it is in selling. Set your goal, act, and don’t give a damn (betweenness).

Celibacy implies totality of focus, total control.

Once you prove to yourself that you have control, something happens.

After this intuition develops, you won’t burn yourself out.

This is covered in Percival's Thinking and Destiny.

You can apply your intellect to solve any problem. You can apply this to reach people’s heads.

Don’t discredit the egos; they can be used to get energy – if you don’t make a fool of yourself.

People new in the public eye (incl. political leaders) start to look ragged; they can’t resist the temptation to spend the energy.

If you wish, you can 1) develop perfect intuition, 2) project energy: i.e., heal, touch other minds.

There is no limit to this (healing, etc.) – but all of no ultimate value.

Use this to develop the intuition to arrive at a simple answer – the goal of all spirituality – which is the only real use for this energy.

Not many people between 40 and 70 accomplish anything – unless they had established a direction when they were young.

There is magic in this. It can extremely dangerous; there is a negative side of the picture. Tricks are played, taking energy from others.

You must know how to hold the oil in your lamp once you get it. (Biblical reference)

Marriage is a classroom you enter; you don’t know what you will get from it. It’s a two-way street; for both people it's a tremendous educational experience.

A man who can be managed by the woman is not my idea of the perfect man.

There is a particular form of chemistry between two people, producing inspiration. The executive has his wife and the inspiration (which may be the other woman). She inspires him and destroys him – he runs on his ego until he drops. There’s no reason to develop this big business.

Unless the head is steeled to take this, it can’t withstand the energy of philosophical or even mathematical thinking.

One of the most dangerous of vanities is the spiritual one; a man becomes a tycoon, goes off the deep end.
