When you're in FULL SELF-REMEMBERING, you're in the 'Kingdom of Heaven'. Well, I mean, that sounds so very nice, and almost true. But you don't quite feel it yet, and you don't find that particularly elevating just in words.
When you're out of fear, you've just cleared out the space where Heaven is, where Love is, where Truth is, where Now is. You still exist, but in quite a different way. There you really ARE. That's where the 'I AM that I AM' is. Hardly any likelihood of maintaining a 'reputation' there that means anything in particular. But the truth is the truth, regardless of who sees what.

Behind the cluttered mind is a place, a space, of perfect calm, of perfect peace. It's the place some call heaven. It's the place some call communion. It's a place, it's a reality, it's a prerequisite for sanity! Without locating and establishing oneself in that place, all thought and imagination eventually turn to confusion and/or hysteria and/or violence and/or depression and/or introverted or extroverted madness and/or senility.

Healthy body and healthy planet, obviously good in themselves, are not really 'aims' but rather bottom-line requirements.

Happy is a state of being where energy is being gained and not lost, and where the quality of that energy is that it is moving in a direction that is finer and more subtle rather than coarser and more dense. Happy is first of all FEELING good unconditionally and comprehensively (Holistically).
The thinking mind might precede this state, rest or participate within it or draw conclusions and/or react after the fact. But the thinking mind is but an aspect in this state called Happy - that is, Happy is the Whole!

We've developed a lot of habits that are really grotesque from a truly human point of view. We were born in a prison and 'educated' in how to survive within that corruption, crudeness and fear. If you don't know of any other possibility how can you think differently? So the darkness gets to be called 'real life'. If someone comes and tells you there's an outside where the sun shines, you can believe it, or not. But in the meantime you keep looking for that extra blanket, try to be on good terms with the cook and maybe make friends with the guy in the next cell who looks 'cute' to you. Oh, we grew up in that.

Your usual so called individuality is HABIT,
collected over time. Each ‘division’ from the One
Consciousness / Creator wants to call itself ‘I’.
That’s where the trouble begins!

One of the reasons people get so 'uppity' about what they call 'cults' is because of this authority issue. They see it as one person's illegitimate influence over others. Orage said that 'half the people who met Gurdjieff thought he was a saint and the other half thought he was a charlatan'. But those that saw him as a charlatan didn't see that the people that took him as an authority took him that 'way' relative to what they felt was true and in their own best interest.

NOTHING healthy comes from guilt. INTELLIGENCE doesn’t come from guilt. It is most difficult for people to hear that without feeling, as if, ’resentment’. ”What, I don’t owe my children? My children don’t owe me? My parents don’t owe me? I don’t owe my parents? Well, if I accepted that, I wouldn’t exist, almost. What could I count on?” Well… what CAN you count on?

...this Life is a very short FEW DAYS. It is meant to be a growth transition to a higher and FINER World. The adjustment must take place HERE so that at Death (BIRTH) the psychological/electronic body, crystallized in its simplicity and disconnected from the false/temporoary, results in a SURVIVAL BEING in The World To Come.
