We see, don’t we, all that we experience is understandable as a spectrum of vibrations. There are different kinds of spectra. There’s a spectrum of light, there’s a spectrum of sound.

We can also think of spectrum of smells, of tactile feelings, of emotions. And so on all down the line. We are as it were living in a midst of woven tapestry, of many dimensions, in which the warps and the woofs are these different spectra of various kinds of vibrations.

And as on the loom, the warp crosses the woof. And if you didn’t have one you didn’t have the other. It takes two to reveal the pattern. So see yourselves as patterns in a weaving system. You wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the interlocking spectra of dimensions.

So then, here they go, and these things are vibrating. Now, when it reaches a certain point you say, ‘Oh, that’s too much!’ When it reaches another point you say, ‘It’s not enough! There’s nothing here, I don’t feel a thing. Now I got to go to sleep.’

But on the other end, you say, ‘No! No! No, no, you’re going far enough! If you go any further it is going to tear things apart! I can’t withhold this tension!’ Now so some people will say, ‘Now, now, relax, relax, relax, take it easy, take it easy.’ But often, you see the point is you can’t do that.

So then, what I would say to the person who can not relax. I will stress his tension – go the other way. In other words, go in the line of least resistance. Say ‘okay you’re tense about all this, let’s get really tense!

Let’s scream: ‘No! No! No! No!’ See, you get violent inside! This is not to happen? But so that one way or the other, you see, it doesn’t matter which you go, you begin to get into this thing. What is happening when the boat of life begins really to rock, get rocking with it by whatever way is open. But you are not going to force the issue here.

Instead of saying to you, you should be doing it in another way that you’re doing it. I will say ‘Now find out the way you must do it and go that way.’

Now this is a general principle of an art. And we will find that there is a kind of a uh … there are limits to this art, and how it can be used, and so forth. But once the general principles are clear there aren’t many serious problems left.

And if you begin to look at it in that way, you will begin to realize that ecstasy by one road or another is inevitable. That indeed ecstasy is in a way the nature of existence. There is a universe for the simple reason that it is ecstatic.

Why else is all this fireworks about?

It is just like music with in this ecstatic thing going off. And you have to be, certainly careful in a little way here that any initiation into a deep wisdom is apt at first to demotivate you.

You think, ‘What the hell am I doing? All these projects, building this up and that up and to save the world and so on and so forth. Why … the whole things nonsense!’ Yes.
