DAVID FROST: You say you've been attacked by flying dragons before, but this time it was different. Just - may I ask - how was it different, other than your general success you describe?
ME: I had a flying horse this time. Before, when the flying dragons would attack me I didn't have a horse that could fly. Sometimes the horse I had would throw me, or just wouldn't maneuver the way I needed it to. I would still put up a fight, but the flying dragons would just mess with me. I could never defeat them, only struggle. I'd get burned by them. This time though I not only had a horse under my control but a horse that could fly. With a flying horse the dragons lost their main advantages over me. My flying horse was very fast too. So my sword - my words, my faith - could be more effective.

New threshold - a further note
It sounds so stupid to use a clerk (or whatever they're called) in a store as an example of such a big thing, but there you go. I'd like to say I'm being attacked by flying dragons, and this time it was different, but . . . I can't say that. Maybe I can. Maybe symbolically there are flying dragons in mundane places, as part of mundane events. Darts of Satan? This mundane person sent a dart of Satan at me, and I fended it off deftly. You think, though, there are people being attacked in serious and dangerous and ferocious ways. So it seems comical. Still. Maybe they are being attacked to that degree because they've yet to escape such environments and I've already escaped them. There but for the grace of God go I. Knock on wood.
I don't want to take anything away from my main point in this post though. I truly feel a new level of control of this higher velocity, explosive energy of consciousness in me I accumulate. I really do. And it is from prayer. It is practically speaking from not operating, or struggling with it, from the position of self-will but having higher will. Real will. God's will. Me, yet me connected to the Absolute II will. God's will. Not just me alone in no man's land not connected to anything because I don't want to say I was still connected to the Absolute III, but maybe you are when you are still acting from self-will even when you are trying to do something of a higher nature. Doing it for the wrong motive maybe. Or no motive. In my prayers I intentionally say "to glorify you (God)". God's will to glorify God. It's still you and your will, but your will is God's will when you are connected to the Absolute II.
The deeper I go with this now the more I want to pray - the more I feel I must pray (for protection) - for inner command and wisdom and God's will and ability to be awake to it and act from it. Because: new level could mean harder tests. More danger even. I feel strong though.

New threshold
What the ocean nymph has been doing these last few years with the theology and Christian focus is demonstrating the transition from the #4 Man level to the #5 Man level. Prayer and fasting are the reins of volition (the control) of higher emotional energy, or, higher energy in general.
You have to be a real Christian. Otherwise if you develop higher than Man #4 level you'll be evil like the Dali Lama, with dumb followers like Richard Gere.
Control of higher energy needs real will. Real will is God's will. This is a clear and plain statement. You need God's will to be able to control the levels of energy that higher centers work with. (To have command like a king of your inner being you need to recognize the command of the King above you.) Prayer is the connection. The reins. Reins are the means to control the horse. Fasting is something different, but it can be said that fasting creates a deeper, longer crucible of worship for prayer to fill. When fasting is necessary, and it surely is once a person begins to experience things only a #5 Man will encounter. But prayer is alot and works to control the emotional states (backlash) and difficult suprising events. If help is requested from God beforehand.
God wants you to know you can't do it without His will (and actually that is just a fact of how it all works). You also have to come into realization that you do it - you have this control - to glorify Him. You can accumulate energy in initial stages of learning all this, and go through the motions, the revolutions, of backlashes and events and you can even struggle in that and actually increase limits and develop level of being, and this is all the Work and necessary and is actually being in the #4 level...but: you can't get all the way; you can't get over the summit without God's will. Without God's help. Because you need real will, not self-will, to attain the level of higher centers. And real will is God's will.
The #5 Man level is characterized by control. Control of higher emotional energy. At the #4 Man level you can have use of higher energy, but it's not in your control. Everything is hit and miss and wild and often wildly out of control. But at the #5 level it's in your control. Only with real will - as opposed to self-will - can you have this control. And real will is from above. It is that connection to the Absolute II (to put it another way). Truly that connection. You have to want it. It's different. It's operating with God's will, as opposed to the more familiar operating with self-will. You can't say you want real will but sort of still think in terms of self-will. Self-will can only fail, but you have to learn this, over and over, before you see it. When you accumulate energy and you come to the same obstacles over and over and indulge the same negativity over and over you see that this is a problem. (You have to have really been doing this though. These are things you can only learn from experience, not reading this post.) The problem is solved by prayer. But prayer has to be real. Actually the problem is solved by having real will, but real will is God's will, and this is given by request in prayer. Knowing what you are asking for is a big part of it, but you've learned that by your previous efforts and failures. (Not that all #4 level work effort results in failures. It doesn't. It is what is supposed to happen. You DO increase level of being by degree in the #4 Man level. You just can't get to the summit and over the summit (the second conscious shock) without real will - God's will.)
All this Christian focus has demonstrated what is necessary for the transition from the #4 to the #5 level. Control of higher emotional energy is the #5 level. Control of higher intellectual energy is the #6. Making it permanent is the #7 crown level. The difference between the #5 and #6 levels is not as dramatic and radical as that between the #4 and #5. Once you attain the #5 level you have passed the major threshold where the #5,6,7 levels reside. The other major threshold is passing from the #1,2,3 level to the #4 level. Becoming a #4 Man is a radical threshold crossing. Becoming a #5 Man is a radical threshold crossing. But becoming a #6 Man is more like being a #1 Man and developing your #2 and #3 aspects. Not as radical a threshold crossing. More an effecting of a complete development at a general level. A filling out.
I'm as pumped up with accumulated higher energy as I've ever been in the past, and I have control of it as I've never had in the past. I know it's there because I've been doing the first conscious shock, first of all, for more days than the current work effort records, and because the energy shows itself in little micro bursts of heat and violence, violence of thought and mouth if nothing else. You know when it's in you. But none of that has snowballed to the least extent.
And there has been at least one "surprising, difficult event" sprung on me that I met in an unusually controlled way. A different 'me.' I can't describe it, but I recognize the type of event as a common trigger to set me off when I have accumulated energy in me. To give an idea of what I mean by control, there was no struggle. No self-conscious "I am maintaining control and composure here." None of that. There was a different person meeting the event in real time with a new wisdom (wisdom as also meaning action). My voice was different, and the words I used were different for me. They were "wise." I said: "Are you going to talk to me?" I was being ignored, blatantly. One of those typical event scenarios designed to get you to blow your lid. It was trivial (I was in a store scenario). I asked a simple question and was being ignored with a little bit of undisguised disdain. Trivial. But not when you're full of higher energy. So, I've never uttered such words before. They were totally disarming and the person had no defense. "Are you going to talk to me?" (You have to know this person, his common type, my history with him, believe it or not I actually have a history of run-ins with employees in stores.) But THAT moment, in THAT event there was NO blow up. And there was no internal resentment for that matter (I actually have enough control not to blow up externally at this point). There was no "I am struggling to remain calm and in control." There was just: some new, disarming words, delivered in a disarming way, accompanied by ... nothing happening. Which is good. I.e. no higher energy being wasted or used by lower centers in a negative way.
I specifically asked God for that. Days ago. And every day. For strength and inner command and wisdom for just such an event. For being able to be awake, or to have real will in just such an event.
This individual I'm talking about is a real button pusher. One of those employees who will set you up if you refuse to step into his traps. Like, for instance, he'll intentionally take a nice gesture you make towards him as if you are being impatient or something not so nice (if you know what I mean). But this is neither here nor there. I've exploded over even more trivial things. They just have to be difficult moments/events and suprising and to happen when you are full of accumulated energy.
I had my arms full of items in a grocery store (no cart for me!) and this guy was either opening up his register or closing it down, I couldn't tell, so I asked him. And he gave me the silent treatment. Something he always does. So I could have said: "Hey you fat, ugly motherfucker, are you open!!?" But I just delivered words that went straight into his brain that he had no defense against (because they were designed just for who he is and his type and all that): I said: "Are you going to talk to me?" Weird words coming out of my mouth. Weird words to say to a stranger/employee of a grocery store. Yet because he was engaged in an intimate drama with me based on a General Law script he knew there was a unique connection and he knew my words were not so strange in that respect. They were weird, but wise and effective.
The main point here is I have something new now. I have control of higher emotional energy. As long as I have the connection of prayer. Fasting will be new for me, when I find that I need it. Can't imagine what might cause a need for it. Maybe getting new functions. I'm thinking always in terms of being attacked by something, like a new level of attack by 80,000 devils with hellish machinery of war, but it could be for new functions or something like that. Something I need though.

Recurrence
You can begin to see over the edge of reality when you see that people around you are in recurrence. Mechanical life afterall is recurrence. When you see this you can see what isn't recurrence. That gives the view beyond 'reality.' Recurrence really is a central idea - or reality - for understanding, even though G. and O. played it down because they said it could only be an idea. But they betrayed their real thoughts on the matter by discoursing on it to such length. At least Ouspensky did. Anyway, it can be observed. Not immediately, but with higher emotion you can observe it. It explains so much as well. Not in some intellectual way, but in a reality way. This is why people are as they are. When you see the correspondence with biblical teaching you have a rather authoritative validation. But you can see it anyway. Recurrence contains all the theories and fancies and beliefs about what happens when you die. It contains annihilation and reincarnation and going to another place, better or worse place. Those are like fingers, and recurrence is like the hand the fingers are attached to. Recurrence is annihilation because when you are in mechanical recurrence it's like you are dead in your time. Recurrence is reincarnation because in a real sense you 'live again', though just not as Cleopatra but as who you are now, cycling back into your own time. Recurrence contains also going to another place at death because you 'can' escape the wheel of recurrence. You can always develop within it, by degree, which causes change in essence and hence what life you attract to yourself. But also recurrence is not in conflict with the biblical teaching of heaven and hell. Hell is still there waiting for the people who ultimately want to be there. But it's after the judgment at the Second Coming that that occurs. Prior to that people - unbelievers - recur. Believers die and go to be with God in heaven.
Recurrence explains the action of the General Law on truly developing individuals. When you begin to leave your circle of recurrence you are, in the spiritual realm, leaving the camp of darkness. The Kingdom of Satan. And everybody in that kingdom sees you leaving and attempts to stop you. But if you have the Spirit of Christ - the Holy Spirit - they can't stop you, but they can give you alot of friction. This happens truly in the spiritual realm and manifests in this physical life now by the action of what the Work calls the General Law. People unconsciously confronting you, attempting to steer you back into 'place.' Like attacking a rogue cell in a body. Either getting it back into it's 'proper' place or destroying it.
You can begin to see all your life in recurrence. If you have accumulated higher energy in you that you are able to use. But it's a key to seeing beyond the edge of 'reality.' When you truly see recurrence, and the mechanical flow of life around you then you can see what is not in recurrence, and that gives the vista...

'Recurrence people'
You can see the anger in 'recurrence people' who disdain and resent any talk of not being in recurrence. They are, you have to remember too, in the kingdom of Satan, to which they give their allegiance by default. Their vanity, worldly pride, and self-will are fixed, for the most part, and they refuse to recognize anything else. You can see though their anger. They want you where they are. They want you to stay where they are. They also don't want their comfort and illusions disrupted. You can also see how they recognize when a person is truly either no longer in their realm or is truly in the process of leaving their realm. They grin at most Christians because most Christians are just shallow and tame within the Devil's camp, and the 'recurrence people' see this and see they are no threat.
General Law and 'recurrence people' are obviously synonymous, though of course the General Law contains 'recurrence people' and not the other way around.
Recurrence people get some righteous justification behind their demands and accusations in that they represent the outflow of the Ray of Creation. The procreate and be mechanical and violent and spill blood and procreate some more outflow of the Ray of Creation. Anybody going against that current, in a real way, is seen to be doing it on the foundation of what the 'recurrence people' have done for them. "We gave birth to you. We raised you. We worked for you so you could have civilization and technology and your books." Etc., etc.
Non-recurrence people can counter: "God did it all; and He's now called me back to Him." Then it gets down to the recurrence people's inherent willful rebellion against God. "OK, God did it, but screw God. I don't need God."
So don't let the 'recurrence people' control you. Be savvy regarding them, but don't be obsequious towards them. They can be overcome, but they can do you harm as well (or get you to do yourself harm). Be careful. You're really in their world (the devil's world) now, so be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove...

Eschatology 3
Along these lines I always remember what Dee (from the old forums) said about Abraham and his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac: (in so many words) "He had to really know it was God speaking to Him." I think actually she referenced Real I, as in Abraham had to have Real I to be able to follow that command. (Behind Real I is God.) I.e. he had to have an almost absolute development of faith.
So this is an example of this eschatological development, inward and upward, from Imaginary 'I' to Real I that puts you into contact with God while in the flesh, and this is how you truly know, or can know, that there is something there to be going to at death. (Even human beings who will merely recur, I think this can be said, intuitively and instinctively 'know' that when they die they will continue living in 'some way.' They don't have to know about recurrence in their time, but they still have the vague assurance that death is not annihilation. Otherwise people would act very differently in many ways obviously... It's more difficult to 'know' you will truly go to where God has many mansions and be glorified, yet this is what separates people who are really going there (I stand by that, but only as standard from the human end, and not as anything that limits God or what the Bible says)...

Eschatology 2
So how do you know you are going to be with God in heaven at physical death? By having been with God in heaven now while still in the flesh. By striving for attaining to the realization of Real I within you. By valuing the ascent from Imaginary 'I' to Real I. By first realizing Observing I (which emerges out of developed Magnetic Center, which is something you had to value developing, even as you didn't know it was happening, but you valued the process, the higher influences, the learning of new activities, and you didn't get defeated by the separation from the world it causes). Then by degree, via self-remembering and non-identifying, moving through higher dimensions of time inward and upward, through the chaos of lower centers and through the friction brought to you by having higher energy in you. And seeing that alongside this you develop a high valuation for the actual Word of God. Before you were in contact with God's General Revelation, the Book of Nature and all higher B Influences that have some degree of God's influence in them. Then you make contact with God's Special Revelation which is His actual Word, the Old and New Testaments. It challenges your level of being, but you stay with it. Through all the mocking and tempting of the world and your own inner Old Man - vanity, worldly pride, rebellious self-will - you maintain a belief in what is real and true and stand by it and stand on it as your foundation. Even when the world thinks you're a fool, you know better and act on it. So you have these experiences of individual eschatological acts. Of vertical - now - emerging from linear, horizontal time upward towards God within you. Conscious shocks. This is evidence you are truly going somewhere at physical death other than recurrence in the same time.
Eschatology
If you are really going somewhere at death, and not just into another 'round' of recurrence, you should know. You should know because individual eschatology starts now, and puts you in contact with God now. Vertical realization of Real I, Jesus in you, you in Jesus. Movement in the 5th and 6th dimensions of time, inward and upward, effected by the two conscious shocks. What we value becomes manifest. Most of us want to continue where we are. When heaven and glorification come off our tongue it is just talk. Maybe self-consciously shallow talk, maybe self-deceived (or deluded) shallow talk, but merely talk. Usually, though, when a person becomes one who truly values escape from recurrence to what is higher, it should be admitted, it is because at that point they have no choice. They got there by what they value, but they stay there because of the necessity of being in-between something real, which is forwards, and something that is death-failure, which is behind.
Influence
Who am I kidding? I'm a Work Christian. Can't start a movement. We Work Christians though, us alone individuals, can effect many, in our time and through time, by our efforts to awaken. Conscious influence is conscious influence, when it's real. If it's real it's real. One Work Christian can effect many people in direct contact with us and through time. Even hundreds and thousands. Maybe more. It's an incentive in itself.
That old 'third force' to help along effort which is knowing we aren't just working for ourselves. When you awaken it's like leaven in the time universe of your family and anybody else in contact with you and then everybody else in contact with them even going up through time into the realms of people no longer 'alive' (speaking in terms of recurrence). The leaven of the Pharisees is not good, but the leaven of conscious influence is good. And you don't know. You may be able to effect literally thousands or more. I mean, this is a kind of evangelization. I notice with Work what seems cut off by not being in the usual church mode is made available in higher ways...

Yes
The nurse couldn't stop praising me. I'd written a note on a small piece of paper of all the symptoms the man had who I'd brought in. Six different symptoms. "This is so useful to us. It's such a good thing to do. Because we have so many things going on we can forget, but writing it down like this is really a very good thing to do." How do you do. I'm a genius.
