***1 - Cooperation***

The production of The Robin Hood Bugle is done with little expectation of results. I am trying to move to the plain of no expectation. However, I do not produce it for my own benefit. If you feel that you experience any benefit from receiving The Robin Hood Bugle, then it would help with motivation if you let me know. I have already had a complaint that I should not be filling up a Robin Hood Cooperation member's mail box with something they do not wish to read, and I would in no way have a desire to impose what may be meaningless words on any soul who receives no benefit. After all, we are a co-operation.

 ***2 - Help***
Any help in preparing future articles for The Bugle will be greatly appreciated. If you do not have anything original to say, then no problem - just forward to me other pieces of information which you receive. If I get the same piece of information ten times, then no problem - at least I will be able to pick and choose, and will know what is popular and what is not.

 ***3 - Personal discoveries related to the spiritual ether***

We have read about the cessation of transmission of satellites, the failure in navigation of birds and whales, the destruction by fire of the forests of many countries, the change in the geomagnetic sphere of the sun, the possibility of flood as a result of icebergs breaking off, the toxic pollution of food and water, the possibility of oil running out, the likely world financial collapse, the possibility of new diseases and plague, movement of the earth's geomagnetic field (polar shift), the entry in to a photon belt, and many other possibilities.

There is also a possibility that the world will continue with no significant rapid change.

However, the latter prospect provides less excitement, and certainly less discussion value. Also, as consciously advanced people, are we not to consider the potential outcome of any philosophy.

 I would therefore like to put forward yet another theory, based on the failure of computer systems. This could be brought about by Y2K, or earlier, by satellite malfunction, or simply a geomagnetic change which affects the functionality of silicon or disk.

 It appears to be potentially possible that what has built and now relies on could fail before any natural disasters. I believe that The One Infinite Creator is not about to destroy the human race, but that he will allow the use of free will to take its natural course. And this naturally means that something built by man is likely to fail before something built by The One Infinite Creator. Whilst we understand that anything built by man is a result of interaction with The One Infinite Creator, there are many humans today who conduct their lives according to their free will, and never think to check if what they are doing is in line with the master plan.

So let us hypothesise for a while.
 Let us consider what would be the results if, for some unpredicted reason, the planet's computer systems were to begin to malfunction.
 
And slowly the computers begin to fall over.

Both my system and our beloved Spiritweb has had (is having) problems, and it is possible that many sites around the world are already beginning to notice unusual computer problems.

The first companies to fail would be the computer service companies, who would not be able to keep up with the demand, and would not be able to explain the problem.

Next to go, after many private individuals and small companies have failed, would be the banks, and hospitals and government institutions.
This would  dispose of all the money in the world, and a rapid re-think would take place when we realised that there would be no computers for at least 3 years, until we developed something which does not use silicon or satellites.

But in the meantime, all the computer companies go bust, so they develop nothing, and we never see computers again.

 And now we would have to start leading a more natural life.
We would have no computer, and no money. In about 2 days we would have no fuel for our vehicles. In a couple of weeks, the electric grid would stop working. In about three days, all the shops and supermarkets would be empty.

In about one week, there would be a rush to anywhere that is growing food.

In about 1 month, we would discover that there was not enough food, and that millions were to die of starvation. So some bright spark would start trying to decide who gets food and who doesn't, and starts trying to impose a law against eating. He suddenly becomes unable to write just before he signs the new law.

And so we are now fighting for the food.
And the ones who win the battles get the food, and survive until the fields are empty. But we have solved all of our environmental and over-population, and over-legalised, and controlled- by- finance problems in about 2 months.

If anyone manages to be able to grow food and not to have to fight for it, then they will continue living almost as usual. As for the rest of us, our life, if it continues, would definitely not be the same.

I think we should be on the look out for computer failure as the sign that the end of the world is nigh. And then we can do something to avert disaster, maybe!

Or maybe we can just continue as if all of the signs are not a part of reality, and just continue to feel comfortable in our illusion!

Or maybe we should continue normally, so as not to cause panic.

Or maybe we should just align ourselves with The One Infinite Creator, and stop trying to intervene in The Divine Plan.

Or maybe we should study The Divine Plan, and make our efforts and actions fall in line with the plan, and in so doing assist others to achieve the same.

We are about to be harvested, and it is our responsibility to try to assist as many souls to harvest as possible.

That is the highest achievement that a member of The Robin Hood Cooperation can achieve, or anyone else for that matter.

***4 - Quotations from books (ancient and modern)***
Taken from "Life after Death" by Yogi Ramacharaka, first copyrighted 1909.
"The sceptical Western student may object that we offer no 'scientific proofs' of the phenomena of  "the other side". If by "scientific" he means the proofs of physical science, we agree with him. But to the advanced occultist, the term "scientific" has a much broader and wider meaning. The person who expects to weigh, measure, and register spiritual things by physical standards has nothing but disappointment and failure before him, for he will never receive the proof he seeks. Physical apparatus is intended for physical things only - the world of spirit has its own apparatus, which alone is capable of registering its phenomena.
.snip.
The race has been hypnotised by the idea of Death.
......death has a terror which we can seemingly not overcome...
To those who have acquired that sense of consciousness of the illusion of death, these frightful illusions have faded away.
There is a centuries old Hindu fable, in which is told the tale of a caterpillar, who, feeling the approach of languor which betokened the end of the crawling stage of existence and the beginning of the long sleep of the chrysalis stage, called his friends around him. "It is sad" he said. "to think that I must abandon my life, filled with so many bright promises of future achievement. Cut off by the grim reaper, in my very prime, I am an example of the heartlessness of nature,. Farewell, good friends, farewell for ever. Tomorrow I shall be no more"

And accompanied by the tears and lamentations of the friends surrounded his death-bed, he passed away. An old caterpillar remarked sadly: "Our brother has left us. His fate is also ours. One by one we shall be cut down by the scythe of the destroyer, like unto the grass of the field. By faith we hope to rise again, but perhaps this is not the voice inspired by a vain hope. None of us knows anything positively of another life. Let us mourn the common fate of our race.".........

...As Edwin Arnold so beautifully expresses it in his translation of the "Bhagavad Gita"

"Never the soul was born;
 The spirit shall cease to be never.
 Never was time it was not;
 End and beginning are dreams.
 Birthless and deathless, and changeless,
 Remaineth the spirit for ever;
 Death hath not touched it at all,

 Dead though the house of it seems."

 ***5 - A difficult circumstance overcome***
My Brother

My Brother died last Monday. He was 37 years old and had been in Thailand with me for the past 9 years, before to returning to England in February.
As I have a total belief in life after death, and due to the fact that he had been in hospital for 4 months and I had time to prepare, I had no desire to return to England for the funeral, except to help my family. I was extremely grateful that they were sufficiently understanding to enable me to remain in Thailand. I discussed my desire to not attend the funeral with many friends, and they were all of the opinion that I must return. I realised that their statements were all based on an assumption of what my mother and father were thinking, and when I mentioned that the only people who have the possibility of understanding what someone thinks is the individual themselves, my mother and father in this case, then they became upset and considered me disrespectful.
I held a small Buddhist ceremony here in Thailand to coincide with the time of the funeral in England, and there were no tears, and no on-going grief. I felt, and still feel, that my brother continues to exist on another plain, more advanced than this one, and I realise that my desires to be in his presence are purely selfish ones. I have no right to try to hold him back from his spiritual advancement, and to keep trying to waken him from the long sleep which he has so rightfully earned. He will soon arise in a new world, where there is no war or starvation, and where the souls can truly learn how to love each other.

Dear Martin, Go in Peace.

***6 - Environmental issues***
By Drunvalo(editted for brevity)
July 1, 1998
Re: Update on the Fourth Dimensional Shift and the Translation Period
As far back as 1984, we discussed what would happen on earth prior to the earth actually entering the Fourth Dimension. We said that prior to the poles of the earth moving to new locations, which is when the human consciousness usually moves into the Fourth Dimension, there would be a period of time where there may be world-wide chaos. It is a period where most people go insane, all social systems, financial systems, political systems etc., collapse and the planet is plunged into total chaos. This time period traditionally, throughout the universe, has been about three months to two years directly prior to the actual poles of the planet shifting. We'll call this time period the Translation Period.

The chaos is caused when the geomagnetic poles of the earth drop to zero. This causes chaos because the human being needs the magnetic field of the earth to maintain it's emotional balance
and memory. When the magnetics drop to zero, people go insane.

This Translation Period is the time when religious orders such as the Mormons and the Saint Germane groups have prepared for for years. The Mormons, for example, must have food and water to last for two years, the maximum time the Translation Period usually lasts.

However, to believe that if you prepare in this way with food and supplies and that everything will be the same after the Translation Period, is unrealistic. At the end of the Translation Period you
will change your consciousness and begin to move through the void, the birth of the new consciousness into the Fourth Dimension. From there on out, everything you do to physically prepare on earth will be of no use to you in your new world. No more than it was when you were born on earth in the body you now have.

Almost every year since 1984 people have asked me when this Translation Period will begin, and I have always said, "I don't know". I have also said, "I don't want to know" meaning that if a person spends too much time worrying about what will happen in the future, they can hinder their spiritual growth. It would be kind of like knowing the exact minute that you will die. Would you live your life in the same way? Probably not. This knowledge would interfere with your purpose on earth. Only in the eternal now can we make changes that will transform us.

However, the now of the Translation Period may now be upon us. I do not know for sure, but the evidence is very powerful. If we are entering this period, we will now have to prepare at least internally if not externally. Each one of us will have to decide how they will live their lives during this period. I will speak about this again at the end of this message.

The following is all of the evidence that has been given to me from around the world. You must decide if it is real or just imaginary. You must decide how to respond to this information.

1. DEEP SPACE On December 14, 1997, an explosion was received on earth from deep space.
From an area about the size of Texas about 12 billion light years away, an explosion occurred that, based on E=MC squared, would have required all the known and visible matter in the universe to release that much energy.

2. GALACTIC CENTRE
Since December 14, 1997, the centre of our galaxy has also begun to pulse huge amounts of energy out to the universe. This also is unexplainable, according to the scientist that I was talking with. In fact, the satellite that was destroyed in June of 1998, the "beeper" satellite, was destroyed from one of these blast from the centre of our galaxy, according to this same scientist. This man believes that if this energy continues to rise and pulse that it will eventually destroy all of our satellites around the earth.

3. SUN
 In 1992 everything was normal with our sun. It had a magnetic north and south pole. It was functioning normal by scientific standards. In December of 1994, the Ulysses spacecraft from NASA arrived at the sun to measure it's magnetic field. NASA was astonished to find out that the magnetic field of the sun no longer has a north and south pole. The sun's magnetic field had changed dramatically into a homogeneous field. There was, of course, no scientific explanation.
No one had ever seen anything like this before. Then the SOHO satellite was launched to study the sun for a two year period.

Early in June 1998 two comets entered into the sun. This is not unusual. As many as twenty five or more comets or asteroids a year will either enter the sun or graze it. Nothing has ever happened
before when the sun was struck by a cosmic body. But this time the sun reacted in a way no one has every seen before. Approximately 30 to 35 solar flares erupted on the surface of the sun, all in
two parallel circles at the 19.5 north and south latitudes. These are the latitudes where the interlocking tetrahedrons cross the sphere of the sun. It is the same with the earth or a human being. If even two or three solar flares were to erupt at one time, this would be a great concern because of the magnetic storms that could be caused on
earth. 30 or 35 is outrageous.
Another interesting point, on June 25th, 1998, the SOHO satellite that was watching the sun suddenly became inoperative according to NASA. No more information to us. Could this be real or a manmade problem to stop the flow of information to the public?

Another interesting point, on June 26th, 1998, we had a major magnetic storm on earth that reached 6 or 7 magnitude. Usually the whole world is informed preparing us for this potential problem. NASA did not inform the public? Why?

4. THE EARTH

A. We are being told here in the States that the fires in Mexico are being caused by farmers burning fields to make room for more crops. Eye witnesses in Mexico that I have talked with have a different story. They say that Mt. Popocatepetl about 40 miles SE of Mexico City has been erupting for over a year now, and the ground in the surrounding area is becoming very hot.
Eyewitnesses say that the trees are spontaneously breaking into flames, which would mean that the ground would have to be over 459 degrees Fahrenheit. One report said that they even saw animals spontaneously break into flames. One eyewitness that I spoke with said that even a long ways from Mt. Popocatepetl the ground is so hot that the rubber soles of shoes will melt while walking in the forest.

B. In June 1998 another huge volcano, Pacaya, erupted near Guatemala City.

C. In California the Mammoth Lake area appears to potentially be ready for a possible eruption.

D. Mt. Saint Helens is receiving about 170 earthquakes per day.

E. Mt. Rainier also appears to be dangerously close to a possible eruption.

F. An underwater volcano is forming off the coast of California.

What is being said here is that the entire coastline from Guatemala to Washington State is becoming dangerously close to some kind of major reaction. Exactly what no one knows.

2. The South Pole is melting. There is three volcanoes going off under the ice cap. They have been active for many years now. Last year the biggest piece of ice ever known broke off, about 800
square miles of ice. At the moment another huge piece is about to break off. This one is called Larson's Ledge and is about the size of the state of Texas and about 3 or 4 miles deep. It is cracking fast. If this piece of ice breaks off, according to the press releases, it will raise the world oceans by 65 feet. Two countries will disappear forever and almost every coastal city in the world will be destroyed. Just think what would happen to Florida when the highest point is 90 feet. This would happen in about one day.

Our government is telling the world that it will be about 500 years before Larson's Ledge breaks off. We don't talk about it much here in the states, but in Australia it is discussed almost every week because they would be effected first and much more. Obviously the tidal wave coming off of a piece of ice as big as Larson's Ledge would be huge, perhaps over a half mile high or more.
About 10 days ago Dr. David Suzuki and another scientist went on Australian television and made a daring statement. They said that they could not allow this disinformation to go out. They said that, as scientists, they believed from all the scientific information that they have seen that Larson's Ledge will break off sometime "within three years or less ". Before Dr. Suzuki even said this to
Australia, the aboriginal tribes said that they expected a huge wave to be coming, and many of these tribes are at this moment heading for the centre of the continent to get inland as far as possible.

3. The geomagnetic field of the earth is undergoing huge changes. For 2000 years the earth's geomagnetic field has been growing weaker. 2000 years ago the field measured about 4 gauss.
About 500 years ago the geomagnetic field began to drop at a much faster rate. The field now measures only about 0.4 gauss. In the last 20 years the field has not only been dropping, but has become erratic. Birds that use the geomagnetic field to migrate with are now ending up at the wrong location because the field has changed. This is the same with Dolphins and Whales. They use the geomagnetic lines to migrate, which have been stationary for thousands of years and have now changed. Some of these lines now move inland
and this is the reason why many whales have beached themselves. They were just following the geomagnetic lines that have always guided their migration, but which now lead into land.

In the last two weeks of September 1994, the world experienced a geomagnetic field wobble. Air lines world-wide were forced to manually land their airplanes because the geomagnetic field of the
earth began to move. By the beginning of October it seemed to return to normal.

In June, July, August, September, October and part of November of 1996 we had a much bigger and longer anomaly. Especially during July and August of 1996. The South Pole was actually moving around. If you had a compass set up you could see it moving on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. It was moving anywhere from 2 and a half degrees too as much as 17 degrees in a single day. At one point, according to Gregg Braden, the South Pole of the planet actually moved off the coast of California for a few hours. This info can easily be checked. Just look at almost any aeronautical map in the world for any major airport prior to June of 1996, and then get a new one (they had to make new maps in order to land their planes) and compare them. You will see that the error correction for the magnetic north pole has changed which means that the South Pole has moved. Chicago O'Hara International changed by 2 and one half degrees. That map I personally verified.

Then everything became quiet until recently. There were a few movements, but not much. In the last couple months, again there is movement. This time potentially with great consequences. I was
just talking with a German scientist who was concerned enough to give me this information even though it could mean his loss of freedom. He said that he was working with the Russian government. He said that he would send me the proof of what he was about to tell me. He did not know that I had been following the changes in the geomagnetic fields of the earth. He said two things.

First that the Schumann resonance frequency (SRF) of the earth, which many people have been talking about is in truth changing. According to the Russian satellites, the SRF is raising dramatically. We were first told by Gregg Braden, who is a geologist that it was raising. It normally is at about 7.8 Hertz. We were told by Mr. Braden that it had risen up to as high as 11.2 Hertz. Then suddenly the University of California at Berkeley said that there was no change. That everything is normal. It did not make sense. According to Russia, it is now at about 13 hertz and still climbing.

The second thing that my German source said is extremely important. He said that both Germany and Russia have documented that the geomagnetic field of the earth is at this moment racing
toward zero. He said that the Russian computer models showed that about 10 days ago we passed the point where it could be reversed, meaning that whenever a system gets to this stage, it will go to zero. He then said that the Russian government now believes that the earth's geomagnetic field will go to zero in the near future. Possible as early as the end of July 1998 but definitely before the end of the year.

My German source said that the Russian space program has done extensive research around this subject. He said that when the Russians took people outside the earth's magnetic field they
recorded specific human reactions. First the astronauts became agitated. Then they became aggressive toward other human beings. Then they went completely insane which they discovered
was incurable. They even studied and discovered exactly what happened in the human brain when the field went to zero that caused this insanity. The Germans have created an electronic belt to
wear that will create a personal balance of the SRF and the 0.4 gauss geomagnetic field around the human body. This is being given out to key personnel to keep the government running in case this really happens.

In addition, three other human discoveries have happened that also indirectly point to this time being the time of the Translation Period.

A. First the discoveries that are taking place in Egypt of the underground city that is 6 and one half-mile by 8 miles and at least 12 stories deep is important. This discovery which we also talked
about in the Flower of Life workshop is one of the signs of the coming period.

B. The discovery of the secret book in the Bible, the computer program, which would not be open "until the end of time" has been opened. This is reported in the book, "The Bible Code". This
is very important.

C. On May 23, 1998, the discovery of Atlantis off the coast of Biminis was announced by Aaron Du Val. They found Atlantis three and a half years ago, but refused to release this information until they had scientifically proven it beyond any doubt. This they have now done. This is another great sign. Much more will be talked about this in the future by this website.

Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, predicted around 50 or 60 years ago that the earth's pole would shift in the "winter of 1998". The timing appears to be right. This is not the geomagnetic pole, but the actual pole the earth turns on. This was considered impossible at the time of Cayce's prediction. They believed then that such an event would only happened over millions of years.
Now they know that it happens often. In fact it happened just 13,000 years ago and before that it was 26,000 years ago. According to the Precession of the Equinox, we are at that point in history where this should happen, if it is to happen.

And finally, the Hopi just went on Art Bell's radio talk show, and announced that in July the earth will know for sure that something very big is happening, and that by October through December
of 1998 we could pass into the fifth world of the Native American peoples. This is the same as the fourth dimension of the Melchizedeks. The Hopi count the void as a world, we count it as zero.
Another huge sign.

Now you have seen the evidence. This may or may not happen now. I do not second-guess God.
But I believe it will happen someday in the near future. Even the Bible speaks of this. So what do we do? This is the question.

The angels told me, when I first came to earth, to become "middle class" so that I could experience first hand this very situation. What does one do when they have a family, a husband or wife and children to take care of? For that matter, what does one do if they are simply single? It is easier if one is single, but many of the decisions are the same.

A short discussion of the situation when the chaos hits may be helpful. I was in a think tank in Canada focused on this very subject. This is some of what I learned.

First of all, it will be almost impossible to live in a major city during this time. All electricity, gas and water will be shut off. The United States only has a 30 days supply of food, so after about one month or less, people will be without food and will do anything to get it. Travel will be impossible. Broken down automobiles will block most roads. All airlines, trains, buses, etc., will not be working. Where ever you are is where you will be. And if that is not enough, most of the
people will be hungry, angry, and dangerous.

At first thought, the forest or woods seems to be the safest place to go, but it became clear in the think tank that I took part in that this would become a very unsafe place. Everyone will head for the forest!!!! People will be everywhere walking around with guns freaked out and dangerous. So let's look at the possibilities.

If you think the worse thing that can happen is that you or a family member will be killed. Realize this is not a problem. The purpose of life at this stage of growth is to move consciously into the next world, the fourth dimension. There are three ways that can happen. One way is not better than another.

1. Death: In the past if you died, you passed into the third overtone of the fourth dimension (4D).
From there you would, after a period of time, come back to earth to live again, to complete your purpose on earth. This cycle has continued for a very long time, but now that is changing. For most of us, this is our last life. If you die now, you will still move to the third overtone of the 4D, and then rapidly move up to either the 10th, 11th, or 12th over tone of the 4D, the place where we need to be to be in harmony with earth consciousness. Even the Bible says about this time that the "dead will rise".

2. Resurrection: Here you still die, but you consciously reconstruct your body after death and then move up to the 10th, 11th, or 12th overtone of the 4D. The result is the same.

3. Ascension: Here you do not die, but rather you consciously more into the 4D and into the 10th, 11th or 12th overtone bringing your body with you. You and your body simply disappear out of this world, through the void into the next world.

What does it mean, "One way is not better than another"? The result is the same, but the pathway is different. So why do it? The answer is very simple. Life does it because it is possible. Life's purpose is to live all possibilities. This is the meaning of free will. Another word for "free will" is "all possibilities". Some are drawn one way, some another, but in the end we are all the same spirit.

So what can we do physically to protect ourselves and our loved ones during this Translation Period? As I see it, these are the possibilities. You may see other ones.

1. Do nothing. Live life as if nothing is happening. Let God guide the way.

2. Do nothing outwardly, but prepare yourself inside, emotionally and mentally. Get ready to accept whatever comes. Let God guide the way.

3. Do nothing outwardly, but in addition to just preparing emotionally and mentally, you prepare thorough meditation and prayer. This could prove to be the most powerful thing a human being can do. Learning the Mer-Ka-Ba (the energy field of the human being, or sometimes called the Light Body) meditation is one way, but there are other ways. In this regard I will publish another paper in the near future.

4. Prepare physically by getting food and water together for up to two years in the place where you now live, and then doing one of the above. I believe now that you will only need about six months of supplies.

5. Prepare physically by moving to a new location that seems safer to you, and then doing some of the above.

6. Finally, the place that community has in this process could prove to be very important. If you have thought about forming a community in nature somewhere (especially where you can grow food) this may be the time. People of like mind that love one another, may be your best preparation for this Translation Period, even if you are in a city. Helping and loving one another is an essential part of the teachings of the Ascended Masters, which leads to higher consciousness.

7. Do not be afraid. Remember your holy and intimate connection with God. God lives within you, and if you connect in this way, whatever you need will be given to you easily. Remember you are
whole, complete and perfect in this moment. You are about to be given the greatest opportunity to move up in consciousness that a human can ever reach. Stay in love, stay connected to Mother
Earth and Father Sky and you will find this a time of great beauty.

Are we about to enter the Translation Period? No one knows. At least you do not have to wait long to see if this is true. I have never given a warning before, but it now looks to me like it may really be coming soon. If I am wrong, it will at the very least be great practice.

I will update this website as new information comes in. Another report will come soon about the use of the Mer-Ka-Ba during the Translation Period. This will be useful for people who are using their Light Bodies.

May you become pure light with your beautiful love.

In Love and Service, Drunvalo

 ***7 - Spiritual issues***
 
Lesson 89 - High and Low States
Taken from "Merging with Shiva" list on Spiritweb.
When you look out through the eyes of your soul, it is similar to what a great executive does who has a penthouse office in a very tall building with his desk in the middle of the office. When he looks around him, he sees his staff working. He looks farther out and sees the vast panes of windows. When he looks farther out, he sees the sky and the city below.
Then he looks back into himself, into his subconscious mind, and becomes aware of thoughts about his home and family and other things that do not involve his immediate surroundings in his grand penthouse office. He looks deeper into himself and he has an intuitive flash. Something important comes to him from his subsuperconscious, revealing how he can help his enterprise become moved and motivated in a more dynamic way.
He looks even deeper within himself for the source of that intuitive
flash. He begins to see light within his head and light within his body.
Then his awareness comes out into the external area of mind again and he becomes conscious of people working around him, of the panes of the windows, of the sky and the city below. Then he leaves his office. He goes down in the elevator. He walks out onto the street. He is the same being. His perspective is either an inner or outer one. He does not go up and down in consciousness.

The mystic does not go up and down in consciousness. It only seems like that. Unfoldment is very difficult when we hold the concepts of "up and down" and "good and bad," because they work in time sequences. If we are bad, it takes a certain amount of time before we can become good. And if we are good, there is a great possibility that we might be bad during a certain period of our life. Being bound in the concepts of time in these ways slows down the unfoldment process greatly because unfoldment does not require time, only willpower. This is so because the mind is complete right now. Awareness can visit any area at any time, from bliss to simple emotion, but very few realize this right away.

Let us take a close look at the up-and-down concept. If we are in a
"high" state of consciousness, it is probable that we may eventually be in a low state of consciousness. And if we are in a low state of
consciousness, it is going to take a lot of time to climb up high, and
we might fall down, so what's the use? There are many of these
connotations with the words good and bad and up and down. We must throw them out of our mystical vocabulary.

As a single leaf can cover the sun from our gaze, so can a single
concept hinder our unfoldment on the path. We say we go within, deep within. We say we come out into outer consciousness. We say there is no good, there is no bad, there is just experience. And within each experience there is a lesson. Some experiences might make our nervous system react so strongly that hours may pass before it is quiet.

But as we pull the outer self together, we exercise and evolve the body of the soul that much more. In the process, we transmute tremendous instinctive and intellectual energies into this body of the soul. This is the way in which we feed it. We have given it a good meal, and we never face that same experience again, nor react in the same way.
