Talk given in Liverpool, UK, on 13th June 1963. Eugene is asked a question about the lack of power. The question is, "How do we consider impotence on the three levels of being?"

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, on 1st November 1961. What does the fact that certain behaviour patterns in others produce feelings of resentment signify for the being who experiences such feelings?

Eugene discusses the differences between two kinds of awareness - the masculine and the feminine - and the historical to-and-fro between lunar, matriarchal cultures and the solar patriarchal cultures. In the modern context "...all people being born today...are tending towards a hermaphroditic state. That is, they are tending to balance the male and…

Talk given at Parklands (Manchester, UK) on 25th May 1980.

It is the problem raised, by falling in love for the first time." A transcript…

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960. 'A' equals "The Absolute', meaning that which IS when all else is 'sol'd away'. 'A' is infinite. 'B' represents closure, the relative. 'B' is finite. Whenever we talk about 'being' we are talking about closure; when we talk about 'non-being' we are talking about the Absolute. From 'A' to 'B' there is a fall.…

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, on 4th July 1963. "Considering the mechanism of social hierarchy, the analogy has been made with the behaviour of lumps of coal in a bucket, where it could be observed that on shaking the bucket, large lumps of coal rose to the surface due to the smaller pieces falling down. This poses the question as to why some people…

In Yoga this means aligning all the parts of the being in one, unified direction. The parts to be aligned are the urges from below, the feelings from the chest region, and the thinking in the head. If we put numbers on these then we have a single appetite in the belly, two feelings in the chest: like/dislike and, in the head, five specialised sense…

The talk begins with a quotation from Socrates: “Virtue is knowledge and the person necessarily acts upon the knowledge that they have.” Eugene asks his audience: “Do you believe it?” The answer is “No.” He then asks: “If you had absolute knowledge and knew everything, could you then disobey it?” (mixed responses of Yes/No) He says this is an old a…

Eugene starts with a circle to represent the universe, but makes the point that it could be used to represent any encapsulated zone of energy, all the way down to a human being, or indeed, a virus. He starts with the AIR triad, with the cardinal sign of Libra, which symbolises the perceptual field and intellectual formulation. He stresses the need …

Most of our vocabulary is acquired as children and remains ‘passive’.The terms we use are mostly not defined and their implications are not examined. Our words are learned in social situations and with emotive overtones; e.g. the word ‘naughty’. So when we hear a particular word we receive with it some reference to other things and to emotional ton…

Eugene begins by defining ‘Top Economy’ “Local intelligences, supplied with the appropriate information, are better equipped to solve local problems than a central intelligence in the metropolis far away.” He then applies this concept, designed for local decision-making of governments and town councils, to the human body. There is an exact correspo…

Eugene begins the talk light-heartedly and reminds the audience of the use of the hand as a mnemonic device. Then from a definition from the audience of phenomenology as ‘having a think’ he mentions that there is suggestion that Husserl the originator of phenomenology had had influence from Oriental philosophy, then states that phenom. is about get…

Eugene begins by saying that the talk is going to be about sound and listening to sound, a yoga called ‘Nada Yoga’. He equates the word ‘nada’ with the ‘logos’ of the fourth gospel. In the beginning was creative sound. The Universe, and everything in it, was created by vibrations, by the undulations of a force. Space is a ‘sonoriferous ether’, the …

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960s. "Now church...means assembly. Now this assembly of individuals is for the many who feel not strong enough to stand alone.

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960s. Eugene discusses the biology of human reproduction and what it means for the transmission of information from generation to generation.

The question Eugene addresses is the meaning of the term ‘reflexivity’. He draws a circle and then another round it, then two more, making four concentric rings, but says he should really draw seven. He draws a horizontal line passing through the centre and writes ‘H’ for ‘Hierarchy’ above the line and ‘M’ for Matter below it. The Hierarchy is base…

E.H. Starts by drawing the letter ‘O’ to symbolise ‘ALL’. The ‘All’ has to be analysed because we are in a fallen state: fallen from wholeness into partiality; the preference for one thing rather than another. He draws a circle, and then a horizontal diameter to cut the ‘All’ in half. This ‘parting’ of the circle does not destroy the wholeness of i…

Eugene starts with a simple drawing of an earthenware oil lamp containing olive oil and a wick. The olive oil symbolises ‘life-force’ (love). All life is love. He gives the example of petrol, a fuel created by the ‘love-life’ of millions of minute, marine animals over millennia. ‘Life’ in English = ‘Lieben’ in German, ‘to love.’ They share the same…

Eugene begins by stating that his aim is: “to show that serial thinking has a very definite purpose of its own quite opposite to the simultaneous, Logos reasoning process.” Evolution has resulted in man having reached the level when he can think serially. We know that we come from the same protoplasm as all living things, back through the animals a…

Eugene is asked the question: does the same spirit or soul reconstitute again? He answers by saying that there are various views which can only be resolved “by returning to very abstract principles of mathematics.” He firstly, defines ‘soul’ as “an encapsulated zone of Sentient Power.” As such, it could “reincarnate into many different situations.”…

Eugene considers the difficult problem of the effects of a nuclear war upon survivors and “even those who do not.” Very big shocks to our lives tend to sharpen our awareness. We might then become aware that whatever we do will have effects which could be far away but will be reflected back to each causal centre. This is, in fact, a reality right no…

Eugene begins by explaining how the title of this talk came about. He takes a brown pencil and begins to draw on the OHP the profile of a man’s head. He says he is going to put into the head three kinds of soul. He defines a soul as “a zone of encapsulated Sentient Power.” In the centre of this head he draws two overlapping circles, one for ‘cognit…

Eugene starts by drawing the symbols represented by the above name. It is the name of God. Christians would translate it as ‘Jehovah’ but orthodox Jews would say Adonai ‘Lord’. He asks for four volunteers to shout each of the four letters simultaneously. This is because, to Jewish Orthodoxy, the name of God is unpronounceable as the four letters sh…

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, on 16th February 1961. "At no point in Christian history has this view, namely the view of the identity, absolutely, of God and the Devil, been seriously propounded or gained even limited acceptance, and this despite the earnest thinking of many great minds. This view has not been seriously propounded. The reason for it…

The Zodiac is often used for predicting the future, Eugene is only concerned with using the four fixed signs in the present “because we live in the present and have never lived at any other time.” The four signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius and they correspond with the four Gospels of the New Testament. TAURUS symbolises Infinity, looping …

This is a talk on Personal Integration. Scholars in the past have split the examination of knowledge into three parts: ontological, concerned with the things that are sensed; logical, concerned with the thoughts that we have about these things, or the ‘thinks’ of the things; and the third has been humorously called ‘moral’. Moral means how to keep …
