Man - part animal, part lunatic and part God. 
The animal part is pretty clear to see. Pretty clear to see by whom, or by what? Pretty clear to see by consciousness. Consciousness is in the human animal. Man is more than just conscious - he is conscious that he is conscious. He is also conscious that his consciousness has different levels and intensity - in sleep, in love and certainly at death. Nonetheless, man is an animal, has an animal part, for sure.

Now, man as a lunatic. Luna - moon. Moon - reflected light. Reflected light - images. Images - imagination. Man's imagination circulates so many things, flooded with such a variety of impressions. Forced to pretend that he understands their connections. Forced to pretend that he knows who he is, what he wants and what he is doing - forced to lie! Makes him crazy. Whether he knows it or not, whether he shows it or not. Man, as we know him, is a lunatic, part lunatic. Yes. He is also, more or less, conscious of it.

Third part - man as God. God is the 'IS' - the IS of everything - all together! Man IS - he is therefore part of God - 'all that is'. If God is everything, everything is God. As Man is 'something', he is also part of everything and therefore man is also God. And he knows it!

So, part animal, part lunatic and part God. What else does the God part of man, the conscious God part, know? He knows that he is alive and will inevitably die. Can God die? Obviously not. The animal part of man dies - dust to dust. The God part, the consciousness, 'returns to God'.

Each man is but a cell in the body of humanity. Humanity has brought the world to the brink of disaster. Each human is responsible, even though they are treated as specks of dirt.

BIONIC-MAN
Did you ever see the television series? That’s where they start implanting ’added strength’ and whatever electronics into a man! He becomes POWERFUL.
Western civilization and bionic-man are ’kissing cousins’ - men are being turned into computerized, laser-ized, space-ized specimens!
......................................
The bionics are not so much in man - man is in the bionics. People live in the belly of a machine. It gets ever more boring; the ’food’ is taste-less, less and less. Stimulates nothing!
People hardly leave their home now. Why leave? You’ve got more in your home than the king of England had just a few years back. And we don’t need people - we can hardly talk to each other! Who is there to talk to?

What I’m saying is, realize! That’s what I’m saying: realize that you can’t think - your ’normal’ thinking simply goes nowhere. Then realize that you are in the midst of an immensely complex situation - they are calling it World War Three! President Bush says it’s a war’between the forces of good and evil’. And we’re the good ones. Bionic-man is ’good’. How good? Well, as the saying goes: you can’t argue with ’success’!

It has been said that the people who can work are the people who have ’magnetic center’. You’ve heard about that. Magnetic center is indicated by ’something’ in you that recognizes ’B’ influences - that which originates from a HIGHER LEVEL.
When people meet the Work - it takes over from magnetic center!

Act from your highest intelligence, act from what you know best, act with understanding and compassion. Act Fearlessly! Those kind of acts, coming from Above, coming from the highest in you, change this world instantly. It's MAGIC. That's the magic that the world now needs in order to survive. Magic is the higher, manifesting in the lower. Men have both the higher and the lower within themselves. Magic ignites the higher in man. The flame must burn in many, the fire of intelligent love must not go out.

We must make MAGIC. We must let magic manifest. Magic can only manifest through fearlessness. Fearlessness is love. Got it?

It’s hard to think ’love’, without thinking ’pain’. Can they be separated? Well, it’s best not to expect love without pain. Who would ’share the burden’ with our Common Cosmic Father? How about that one - we expect that love should have no pain in it!
Gurdjieff said, ’that any relationship he had, or would have, could only bring him more pain’!
That sounds pretty depressing, no? (laugh) One could say, ’who needs it?’ 
I think some people do say that. Every time they had love, they had pain with it - and they don’t want, anymore, of that!
The biggest pain that love has to face is that the love might, somehow, get ’lost’! We want to hold it - and you can’t! Love, in its essence, is free! ’God’, is free, the Higher in you, is free, relative to the lower.

A normal emotion is 'love of kind' - and its natural intellectual correspondent is 'getting to know you'. There, understanding is the motivation - and when that is the focus, fear or greed, and the resulting guilt, have no place to lay their dirty hands.

Time is illusion and illusion causes pain, inevitably. Love, at a minimum, wishes to eliminate pain, or transcend it, or transform it, but certainly not to leave it alone as it is. Time is illusion and illusion causes pain. If we cannot talk about it, deal with it, expose it for what it is, or more exactly for what it is not - then we cannot love with any effect. What is love without effect? The issue of Love and the issue of Time are inseparable.
