The agent must convince the mental surface that it is not a question of right or wrong, moral or immoral, essential or inessential, but that the agent or the race he represents has no interest in it – that sex is not a means of gratification or creation for his race. The guides illustrate it by their lives and words.
However, here again, the method of training the first base is not mainly by struggle, but by discouraging mental support and by the infallible means of directing the love and loyalty to the race and its Chief and nothing else. If frankly appraised, the listening part takes the necessary action.
Radical transformation of the territory is the goal rather than its modification to suit native tastes.
P. Natives aspiring to be better and agents who frankly recognise themselves as such
The agent’s instructions do not apply to aspiring natives who see no need for any new race – but wish merely for modification of the destructive impulses of their race. Superficially their talk and action may confuse the unwary agent and any such agent will be spreading confusion if he preaches or professes to impart the instructions meant for himself alone.
Q. Everyone may have an agent concealed in him. There is no need for any one agent to discover this. Meetings and discoveries happen as ordained by the Power and its Needs.
R. Hierarchy of Agents
This may or may not be evident. Its ordering is solely the concern of the Chief. It is the characteristic of the agent and his race that this question does not bother him. It is the mental surface that whispers – how important are you? Who is above and below?
S. The Need to Understand
The need to understand, mostly in words is the character of the native. It is simply trying to reduce all fresh experiences to words and feelings one already knows. It is the greatest block to fresh experience. This need to understand is also coupled with the need to make others understand. This perpetual need to stand under the shade of the past expresses itself in many ways.
The agent’s mental base must avoid this trap and remember that his task is not to understand or be understood but BE and BECOME – To transform for occupation the base given.
T. Similar is the so-called need to love and be loved. This is the native’s word for to approve and be approved with reference to the personal separative I. The agent represents the vibration of love or compassion without any reference to a personal pronoun, and being love in action and being it has no need for a limited possessive concept. Here again, it is the mental base that falls into the trap and confuses the need for love as love.
U. The Need to Judge
The mental base is tainted with this need to judge everything according to some standard or other. This is the trap that wastes a lot of energy that should go to the work of transformation.
The fake-agents make much use of this. They pretend to use the guide’s language and criteria for deciding on the merits or demerits of others and even prescribe punishment or reward for so-called spiritual or moral uplift.
The guide and agent have nothing to do with judgement for perpetuating mental man’s dominance. The task is to conquer and bring into occupation a race that represents an imperative law that overrides and replaces the mental law of the locals which is designed to bolster up the rule of man. The mental man repeatedly promises to modify or reform the law or value system – but no being will ever make a law or value system that negates the very basis of that being. The law of the mental being is `I’ against the world or at best I and the world. I AM THE WORLD is the nearest way a native can express the law of being characteristic of the agents’ race.
V. The Desire to be An Agent
A strong desire to be an agent at once alerts the system that one is not an agent – or at best only a very distorted agent. The strong desire to be something is the mental base and there is no harm if the desire becomes an aspiration to quietly obey the guide till matters become clear by themselves. Don’t try to be an agent.
W. Unquestioning obedience to the guide without too much concern for the comforts or doubts of the mental base is the nature of the true agent.
X. The need for human companionship is the nature of the mental base. The only company the agent seeks and requires is the guide. The agent has not been sent for promoting or breaking friendships. The agent has no friend or enemy. His nature is compassion – his task is to transform the base as a suitable instrument for expressing compassion.
Y. The agent must rapidly become aware of the mental base of his operations – its history and predilections and set this in order and gain firm control. The mental base is his first instrument of contact with the local forces. It is a weapon forged by them and hence it can and does betray and thwart the agent. Instead of being transformed, it can manipulate the agents’ actions to the advantage of the native host. It often pretends to yield or surrender. It raises honest doubts and such other tricks to trip the agent. A firm commitment to the guide is the only method of gaining control of this first weapon and base.
Z. There is no agent without a guide or chief of operations.
The agent and the guide have no body and no death. It is the mental base that suffers the illusion.
