EUGENE HALLIDAY Podcast

Send a text Eugene begins with a drawing of the human eye. “There is no depth in the retinal image.” He repeats this a number of times to fix it in our minds. He then uses the mnemonic of the hand, a “manual for remembering.” Body goes on the little finger, feeling (like/dislike) on the ring finger, mentation (serial thinking) on the middle finger, comprehension (simultaneous understanding) on the...

Send a text Eugene begins by asking David about tonight’s topic. David replies with the title but Eugene changes it to ‘Peril of Great Price’. The oyster is an ancient joke about a woman: you have to swallow it (her) whole, you cannot chew (analyse) it. An oyster is soft-bodied, with little structure, but a hard case round it. “The hard case is a defence that any woman has against external structu...

Send a text Cyclic Law is the big law. We are not training for time, we are training for eternity, we are working through time for the timeless for the absolutely permanent. We have got work to do as long as we have a physical body. If when we finish up on our deathbed we’ve accumulated enough directive forces in us to carry us into the next world with the right direction that is all we ought to h...

Send a text The word ‘Hieros’ used to be used for a person who, today, we would call a ‘priest’. Yet the two terms mean very different things: It is “a change from consideration of power, as such, to reason.” There are two ways of looking at human motivation. One is to assume that it should be based on reason, and the other is that it has no need to be rational “whenever it can get away with being...

Send a text Eugene begins with the statement: “Mediation is providing a middle between two extremes.” We know about these two extremes from experience; order and chaos. He asks: “What would we be like if we had no bodies but simply a kind of presence, a kind of being, but not focussed on a body?” Like the ocean. To be a body you must have a perimeter. Without this, you cannot be a ‘self’. The Abso...

Send a text Eugene responds to an audience member who states “Life is hard and ends in death.” ‘Hard” = HRD =Hierarchical, Discriminative, Division. “The ‘universe is hard’ means that, actually, there are differences of power and discriminative ability.” People are different in all manner of ways. They do not think, feel or will in the same way. “No two individuals are identical in any respect, th...

Send a text OM “Means the pre-analytic wholeness of being, in two aspects: the ‘O’ is the intellective, not substantial; and the ‘M’ the substantial aspect of the same (God) “So the next word must be analysis.” AN means a serpent running. It tends to cross itself and make a closure. This creates an ‘island of being’. (B, in ‘being’ was originally a sphere, then drawn as a circle, then split.) It s...

Send a text The Zodiac is often used for predicting the future, Eugene is only concerned with using the four fixed signs in the present “because we live in the present and have never lived at any other time.” The four signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius and they correspond with the four Gospels of the New Testament. TAURUS symbolises Infinity, looping to encapsulate itself in a zone. This...

Send a text Eugene begins by defining ‘Lucky’ as “the capability to be in the right place at the right time and to be able to utilise the opportunities therein contained.” To ‘get lucky’ you have to be alert, to wake up. NUM means: “a motion of power in a substance” and is another form of the indivisible triad: force, form, function; force = will, form= intellect, function=activity. Similarly: thi...

Send a text Eugene begins by saying he is going to carry on from where he left off last time, to expand on what was said then. He starts with the question of centres in the human being related to “certain organic structures in the body.” Although it is usual to start with a definition of the subject matter, ‘sentience’ is undefinable. A synonym is ‘feeling’, which is the basis of all knowledge. Ob...

Send a text Eugene begins by asking how long has talk of this been going on? He suggests approaching it from the idea of ‘stone’, S means ‘Spirit’, T means ‘fixation’ or ‘crucifixion’. N means both ‘negation’ and ‘intelligence’. “The fundamental idea in ‘ST one’ is that all matter is really spirit, self-fixated and when this stone is discovered it will confer immortality on the owner.” He then ask...

Send a text Eugene begins by stating that he has been asked to talk about Creativity, Naiveness, Inhibition, Secrecy and Real, Actual Love. (“As if there is another kind.”) He defines Love as: “Working for the development of the potentialities of all beings.” He then defines ‘potentialities’. ‘Potential’ means ‘power held in’ and only power can hold power into a centre. If it does not then power w...

Send a text Eugene says inertia is: “The biggest enemy and friend of the human race.” And he is going to show why that is so. He waves the paper to represent the Absolute, Sentient Power in motion – though ASP is, of course, in 3D, an Infinite continuum. When power contracts onto a centre it posits and when it releases that contraction, that centre ceases to be. Each point posited is a dot, a cont...

Send a text Eugene begins with a definition of Faith: “The ability to put your foot down where nothing is, and in the act of putting it down, posit something to put it on.” He suggests that the blank sheet of cellophane on the OHP represents the Infinite, Sentient Power before creation. The audience can all have an idea in the mind of a point that could be made on the sheet, as he has. He is going...

Send a text The word ‘Father’ means ‘to differentiate power’. Christ says we have a ‘Father in Heaven’. ‘Heaven’ is the zone of balance. When the Absolute, Sentient Power condensed itself to form the world, it pressed upon centres and the centres pressed back to a certain distance. Where these pressures balanced is the zone of Heaven, the place where two powers meet and press, a zone of equalisati...

Send a text Eugene begins by examining the word ‘Freedom’ and drawing a diagram to illustrate. Before creation there was Infinite Light, the pure consciousness of Absolute, Sentient Power. Creation presupposes a shut down of the amount of light, into a finite. In order to produce an object the light must focus. (fo-cus means force-striking). The Infinite Field must focus onto a point, a reference...

Send a text Eugene introduces the analogy of the projectionist in the cinema. When we hear the word ‘God’ we should forget all we have been taught and just think “Generative, Intelligent Power.” The Universe we now know is entirely energy, power at work, and this power is sentient, it feels itself. We can prove this to ourselves quite easily by pressing a finger into any part. We immediately are a...

Send a text Eugene begins by drawing the three-part man. Truth goes into the head, Beauty in the chest, and Goodness in the belly. Truth is perfection, as in a perfect circle, or a perfect straight line. A circle includes and excludes; it includes a finite amount of space and excludes an infinite amount. It is a synonym for rota, form, shape, sphere, eidos (idea), and for True. When we think we en...

Send a text Eugene begins with a definition: “the dissolution of the dividing walls which keep an organism in cellular condition.” Loosely, it is the clinical death of tissue. But “the process of histolysis means that all the cellular divisions which the one egg has made, have to be broken down.” He asks the audience to imagine that they could strip themselves of all cellular divisions, including...

Send a text Despite its cryptic title, this talk explores the inner meaning of the concept of Law and how God is beyond all limitations. God, the Father is the creator of all laws yet remains free of any restrictions these laws may impose. The infinite power undulating not rotating is pre-legal. The only valid law is a law that can enforce itself. The word law cannot be used unless there is a bind...

Send a text This talk follows the one on Involution given the previous week. Eugene begins by restating the mnemonic of the hand: Thumb is Will, first finger is intellect, but now divided into two parts; upper and lower, middle finger is the preferred response, also divided into upper and lower, third finger bio-field, and little finger, physical body. The will is the initiative, and therefore pri...

Send a text A talk of about one and a half hours on the subject Yoga given in Liverpool in the early 1960s The talk starts by looking at the origins of the word Yoga and the link to the word religion. Religion is a quite legitimate translation of the word Yoga. Religion means to yoke back to the source of being, the practice of Yoga is an attempt to return to the relationship that was once ours in...

Send a text Eugene begins by drawing a circle with a cube inside. This is his picture of a Heavenly Jerusalem, the City of Peace. A circle is a sacred enclosure and represents a sphere. It is a sphere of influence to protect it from the infinity of possibilities outside. The central point is posited first and then the power posited there heaves itself up to a certain distance and then rotates, mak...
