Hi Everyone: In a response to Leon's questioning of my words, I responded:

I am going to go over this VERY KEY POINT yet once again to make sure
everyone understand what I am talking about: Regardless of what the unbiased
observer is or is not, the unbiased observer has an unbiased opinion.. This
effectively means that it has no opinion. What does have an opinion about
what or what not the unbiased observer is or is not is the BIASED observer.
If you want to establish a universal brotherhood, the understanding of this
simple idea comes first. It is literally a prerequisite. After this,
everything else will fall into place. Granted, this may seem to be upside
down and the other way of thinking may seem right-side-up, but actually, it
is the opposite in that the the previous way of thinking is upside down, but
one can only get a taste for this by making hands on, practical attempts at
this kind of observation. This is an exercise, to be done for a few years,
not forever.

In any case, it is obvious that when an impartial recording is made of ones
body with all of its inner dynamics, as an object, this recording process
cannot be going on at the same time one is subjectively and reactively
evaluating other bodies in the same way that one decides whether or not the
impartial observer an "eternal spirit" or the "higher self" or whatever. It
may or may not be, but this information does not relate to the process of
making an unbiased recording and actually takes away from it, as the mind
that decides and evaluates in this way is the same mind that mechanically
hates or loves its so-called brother.

I know many of you are very busy still trying to figure out whether Madame
Blavatsky faked or did not fake certain experiences, so you can believe or
not believe in this or that, but, if you are having trouble understand what
I am talking about and can take a moment away from your precious
ruminations, maybe you could read this message twice, or ponder on its
meaning until you receive an insight into subtle but very key point.. If you
call my message "hate" then you really do not know what love is. Sincerely,
Wry
