CD-ROM on this chapter: Interviews with Ben Bochner, Cable TV Access Center, Eugene OR; and Ma Yoga Pratima.
Question 1 : Ben Bochner, Cable TV Access Center, Eugene OR (New Zealand ?)
I dreamed I was here at the Ranch a week ago, and I slept out on the desert that night, and I looked at the stars and they looked to me like the tips ends of roots, and the space was black soil. I knew that it was a story I had told myself. Do stories like these help us to understand ourselves, or are they a fiction that we have to see past?
Question 2
I feel that I'm in a mystery school now.
Question 3
(inaudible)
Question 4
I've already felt that.
Question 5
That's why I'm here.
Question 6
I see my whole life as a process of learning. I've taken my teachings from many different places; your books and tapes have been a large source of that. And that's what I want my work to be.
Question 7
It sounds boring.
Question 8
What's interesting about it?
Question 9
Every day a new sun rises.
Question 10
Once you're enlightened, couldn't you learn something new like riding a bicycle or driving a helicopter. Isn't there something left to be learned?
Question 11
I'm not. I don't think I'm very close (inaudible).
Question 12
(inaudible)
Question 13
It seems like new things are always happening.
Question 14
You've heard of the Gaia hypothesis, how the earth is one whole system, one self-regulating system. And there's a man named Peter Russell who wrote a book called the Global brain. And he says that what's being created in humanity is a planetary brain for earth. Could you comment on this terms of Gurdjieff's concept of organic life on the earth being food for the moon.
Question 15
The idea of the thin layer of organic life on the earth, receiving and transmitting energy, was that something else that....
Question 16
Is there any necessity for masses of people to develop this superconsciousness?
Question 17
Can mass mediums like television help to spread the superconscious?
Question 18
Is there a way that mass medium, like television, can be used to decondition people -- aside from just showing the methods, can the medium itself be used to allow people to become open enough to drop the old ways?
Question 19
You may have to buy your own station to put that out.
Question 20
I have an idea for a TV station. I would like to have one of the cameras that's in outer space -- one of the satellites in outer space, I'd like to have a live video camera so that you could just tune to that channel and see the earth floating in space any time you felt like it.
Question 21
You can show your movie on my station.
Question 22
It's possible now for every single person to hear that.
Question 23
Can the truth be presented in a fashion like a Trojan horse?
Question 24
The attention span of people now is so short you have to be able to do in thirty seconds or so.
Question 25 : Ma Yoga Pratima
Bhagwan, why have all the religions failed in changing the world?
