So it was that MT continued listening, with an ear very much other than the average ear scanning for content, as Betty progressed her appraisal of the spacebeings' functional status. "They don't participate in the evolutionary process personally, you see Michael, because they already are able to range the span of time and space both forward into the unforeseeable future and back into the past. It seems they were created to be able to 'cover' that range all at once for their purposes, rather than developing over the temporal span." MT wouldn't question along argumentative lines—for—the—rebuttal on this day; he was not there to debate, countermand, assert "his own" position on such subjects or discuss the viewpoint of Initiated Wisdom: the Lucas had graciously consented to the interview in the first place, just hours prior to their first public keynote address (making MT in effect the premiere "press" personage to interview them in their public phase); they were concermed and understandably "nervous" as it was, considering their comparative unfamiliarity with stage and public spotlight, so there was no reasonable call at this juncture other than to listen respectfully and receive all impressions with balanced care. Indeed the question may arise at this point as to just what MT was doing in the persona of the press, interviewing the very personalities about whom he'd already written and given consummate characterization from the Initiated perspective... One thing, however, which Initiated Understanding emphatically furnishes (as an identifying characteristic of that very Value) is the inescapable recognition that there is no Authority "high" that does not require the compensatory counsel belonging to the authority irreplaceably provided by "low"; and that there is neither Authority "high" or "low" or in-between which does not have to do some kind of real work so as to supplement, reinforce, adjust and align to progressively more efficient degrees and accommodating depths. As has been explained in previous 7—Bird issues (i.e. No. 3, Vol. 2, Dec.—Jan. 1990-1 and No. 8, Vol. 1, April 1990) the Intuitive power of Initiated insight—requiring no instrumental mediation but uniquely using the focal compass of the awakened Whole—distills in an instant the abstract truth or sum—essence of the given subject, complex of activity, frame of reference or object of inquiry. It may Know in general, without the least intercession of relative perspective, the overall point of any given topic to which such Attention is turned, as long as such knowing is Permitted by the Superconscious See through which the results and given effects of any factor (including that of potential Intuitive contributions to the sum—over knowledge applied to the variable destinies) are integrated as allowable influence in the Pattern as a Whole. And at times that abstract understanding, that general acquaintance with the Truth of the given subject, is enough; but there are certainly other times when a refinement on that overview is felt to be needed. It is recognized that more subtle and specific values related to the subject must be known, threads of tangible effect and rippling repercussion for example that are uniquely the function and testimony of the thing—in—itself, the object in practice or the event in its living context. There are induplicable understandings to be derived from other and various combinations of the faculties through which those abstract essences, a va te This is, indeed, why the self-conscious form is so generously endowed with such faculties, relative instruments and perspectival functions in the first place—they're not so much crutches to serve the spiritually—lame and developmentally halt, until such time as awakened Healing takes place and they're forever shed as superfluous paraphernalia in light of all-purpose, one-piece Intuition; they're more like the realizing and actuating appendages, the productive equipment operative in any case with a separate and 137 T-Bird_Vs_The_Flying_saucers.htm would have no place on which its gains could either be gathered or spent?
