Monday

Speaking: Only that which has sense and meaning should come from the lips of the

person who strives for higher development. All talk for the sake of talk (for example,

killing time) is harmful in this respect. The usual kind of conversation, in which

everything is muddled together, should be avoided. One should not, however, avoid

intercourse with others. It is just during this intercourse that speech should

gradually become meaningful. All speech and answers should be carefully

considered. Never talk without a reason (rather remain silent). Try to use neither too

many nor too few words…

… the propagation of man will be intimately connected with the organ of the

larynx… It will be the reproductive organ of the future…

Speaker 1:

[inaudible 00:00:26].

Speaker 2:

Okay. And then I thought it didn’t make sense because they were [inaudible

Speaker 1:

[inaudible 00:00:33]. What we’re doing. [inaudible 00:01:03].

Speaker 2:

That’s really good.

Speaker 1:

And [inaudible 00:01:10].

Speaker 2:

That’s too much [inaudible 00:01:12].

Speaker 1:

[inaudible 00:01:12] be honest, [inaudible 00:01:12].

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Accept others [inaudible 00:01:44] for what they are. [inaudible 00:01:44]. But

yeah, we can all be held, held [inaudible 00:02:03] by the quality [inaudible

00:02:07]. I know that [inaudible 00:02:14]. It’s hard to put into words.

Speaker 2:

What did [inaudible 00:02:17].

Speaker 1:

[inaudible 00:02:21]. That’s what we really feel. [inaudible 00:02:35].

Speaker 2:

This man is old.

Speaker 1:

[inaudible 00:02:57]. We clean the house each day and then we also [inaudible

00:03:07].

Speaker 2:

That man is old.

Speaker 1:

[inaudible 00:03:08] day consists of cleaning up the house in the morning, which is

[inaudible 00:03:10].

Speaker 2:

That man is old.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3:

It’s really wonderful working the finance group. I know every meeting we have

there, which is on Tuesdays mornings, I mean, one of the things we try to really do

is just tune into that energy of finance and [inaudible 00:04:14] through finance and

money and that whole area. Really try and transfer the thought forms that have

been built up with the whole energy of money. And try to move into a deeper

experience knowing it’s just an energy that can flow through us. I mean, I truly say

that I do look forward to the finance meetings because they bring up so much to

look at [crosstalk 00:04:38] that area. One of the recent things we’ve come to really

experience here is that flow [crosstalk 00:04:48] signing checks, it’s really just a

wonderful kind of [crosstalk 00:04:51]. And so, I think my, I thank God I suppose

[inaudible 00:04:57] for that experience within [inaudible 00:04:59].

Speaker 4:

[inaudible 00:04:59] pile of timber and found a red belly black snake. It crawled

Speaker 6:

Why is this useful?

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:05:48].

Speaker 6:

Like, music for children’s books and CDs. Teach guitar.

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:06:08].

Speaker 6:

Why is this useful?

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:06:56].

Speaker 6:

Because it’s so facetious. [inaudible 00:07:04] even one cigarette.

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:07:11].

Also, just um, recently we acquired a new room, a lounge room. Um, for a long

time actually we haven’t had a lounge area in the house. It’s just been a dining

room has been a general meeting ch- chatting place. Um, we have a very original

farm house. It has two rooms in it, two old rooms, which has just been renovated

with the help of others. Um, that was the main focus for the lounge room. It’s really

beautiful how that’s sort of come along and really um, provided a place for people

to sit in a more relaxed environment and this last couple of weeks we’ve been

making cushions and dying, doing some tie dying and we like to go and sit as a

group and [inaudible 00:09:56]listen to the tapes. It becomes sort of like a

endurance exercise. And um, some of us end up staying for days and the others

bring food and water and ah, um…

long time actually we haven’t had a lounge area in the house. It’s just been the

dining room has been the general meeting and chatting place and um, we have an

old, um, old, original farmhouse. It had two rooms in it, two old rooms which have

just been renovated with the help of others, with the main focus for the lounge

room and um, it’s- it’s- it’s really beautiful how that’s sort of um, come along and

really, um, it’s providing a place for people to, you know, sit in a more relaxed

environment. Um…

Speaker 8:

36 degrees.

Speaker 10:

[inaudible 00:12:19]. I am a breath of air and lung is [inaudible 00:12:27]. If I grasp

this I know myself in the spirit of the world.

Speaker 11:

[inaudible 00:12:49]. Oh my God. I just had the worst [inaudible 00:13:06].

Speaker 12:

[inaudible 00:13:06] dropped by.

Speaker 11:

I just had the worst thought.

Speaker 13:

What?

Speaker 11:

Imagine if some fucking weird malfunction thing happened and the door just

fucking opened?

Speaker 10:

Articulate fuck.

Speaker 11:

[inaudible 00:13:26]. It’s all the way up to [inaudible 00:13:33].

Speaker 10:

With [inaudible 00:13:38] eyes.

Speaker 11:

I really recommend people…

Speaker 10:

I say breezy black veins is now a thick black air. And in my lungs you are just

coming out of a dirty coat.

Speaker 11:

Drink.

Speaker 10:

All the time like a sliced fly. (singing). [inaudible 00:15:17].

Speaker 11:

Blue mesh. [crosstalk 00:15:34] are back. I’ll take one home to my daughter.

Sealed square plastic bag.

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:17:16].

Speaker 11:

Dropped from the crane’s cock pit.

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:17:16].

Speaker 12:

[inaudible 00:17:16]. She’s fucking asleep. [inaudible 00:17:16].

Speaker 6:

I don’t know that. [inaudible 00:17:17] I can look it up really quickly. What is it?

Speaker 5:

[foreign language 00:17:27]. Aggressive time.

Speaker 6:

I think I’ve got it. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

Grab my bag and take it out slow.

Speaker 6:

[crosstalk 00:17:47].

Speaker 5:

It’s like a helicopter, but it’s a bit close.

Speaker 6:

[foreign language 00:17:56].

Speaker 5:

I don’t think it’s that much [inaudible 00:17:57]. I just want to get on with my life.

Speaker 8:

Lunch break.

Speaker 5:

[inaudible 00:18:09] fucking grab my [inaudible 00:18:14]. Just out of nowhere. I

don’t know how she does [inaudible 00:18:36] falling asleep. [inaudible 00:18:36].

Looks like it’s going to [inaudible 00:18:46]. Anyway, I’m a [inaudible 00:18:50]

fucking over it so there’s not [inaudible 00:18:59]. I’m hearing this sound like… I

can tell it’s not a helicopter because it sounds very close and if it was a helicopter

I’d feel it- feel a breeze in face.

Speaker 5:

I’m not sorry for what I’ve done.

Speaker 8:

It’s not [inaudible 00:19:40].

Speaker 14:

[inaudible 00:21:50] Australian scene out the window. In case you don’t meet our

three little three year olds, but the nut brown bodies, naked as can be, fully out

there with the birds flying over head, hoses in hand, [inaudible 00:22:02] each

other. Their blond heads and smiling faces and scampering little legs out there

they’re really delightful across the green field. They’re having a really wonderful

time.

Speaker 8:

Oh God, it’s like [inaudible 00:22:31].

Speaker 15:

I think the last few months in the garden have been a- a period of a lot of ah, inside

growth [inaudible 00:22:38] in the garden.

Speaker 16:

A lot of cabbages would agree with that.

Speaker 15:

We’ve been getting a lot of vegetables too from the garden. But, for myself I’ve

been away probably [inaudible 00:22:50] past three months. And going to

[inaudible 00:22:55] convention in Adelaide and a few other things. But ah, I think

it’s been a lot of sorting out in my head of what I really want to do and where I

should be. And it’s become clear all the time. So it’s really great to be back and

starting again finally at [inaudible 00:23:23], being here more permanently. But, ah,

we also acquired a member in the garden lately [inaudible 00:23:26] harvester.

Which, ah, for the amount of land we’ve got here and the size of the garden ah, it

really helps us tremendously to be able to get mulch for the garden [inaudible

00:23:38] the grass at the same time.

Speaker 15:

Being in a sub-tropical area the grass just grows over your head [inaudible

00:23:49].

Speaker 16:

Actually I think that’s exaggerated a tiny bit. (laughs) the grass grows quickly.

Speaker 15:

Well, it’s [inaudible 00:23:56] grass and it- it really grows fast. But the idea of

[inaudible 00:23:59] cut the grass over a big area and give us more park space. We

also mulch the ground, and we’ve got about, getting towards an acre of garden.

And basically it, our garden [inaudible 00:24:15] three or four people and it keeps

us pretty busy. And so had [inaudible 00:24:26]. The greatest bit of manifestation

we’ve done since we manifested homeland. [inaudible 00:24:32] we should be able

to keep the garden not only as a dynamic for [inaudible 00:24:39] garden, but also

not ever increasing awareness [inaudible 00:24:44].

Speaker 17:

[inaudible 00:24:44].

Speaker 2:

Prolong the extension of your [inaudible 00:25:15] sides of her mouth [crosstalk

00:25:16].

Speaker 18:

And the fluid streams into the body when awakening and streams out of the body

when falling asleep.

Speaker 2:

[crosstalk 00:25:29].

Speaker 18:

So that your nose gets pushed into your anus [inaudible 00:25:37] just to put out

your flaming kidneys.

Speaker 2:

[inaudible 00:25:41].

Speaker 18:

And you eat what you speak, like a [crosstalk 00:25:48].

Speaker 2:

[crosstalk 00:25:49] 200 meters [inaudible 00:25:51].

Speaker 18:

Eating your tongue and spitting and cleaning salt.

Speaker 2:

[crosstalk 00:26:00].

Speaker 18:

Body goes to [inaudible 00:26:03] and more before I want it short. I just say

[inaudible 00:26:12] like that. [inaudible 00:26:18] and the end falls [inaudible

00:26:24] giving birth to lumps of [inaudible 00:26:28]. From mouth to mouth,

confusing [inaudible 00:26:32] buckets of [inaudible 00:26:34] bubbles. When I

want to eat I just say about the noisy snake that falls like greasy sausage on the

floor [inaudible 00:26:51] before I eat it. [inaudible 00:26:57]
