Recurrence

The meeting started with a reading from Ouspensky’s “The Fourth Way”, Chapter 16, on the theory of recurrence.

He writes: "Some people may have exactly the same recurrence, other people may have different variations or possibilities . . (but in) the case of people who come nearer to the work, it may be possible . . . to study three successive recurrences."

Moreover, he continues, in the second case "when one definitely comes in contact with C influence . . . the possibilities of recurrence greatly diminish . . . because C influence cannot be wasted."

(Read more on this from the book itself. An electronic version of this book is available from the link on the right.)

The reading was followed by a general discussion on the mechanical nature of A influences and how we can be influenced by the qualities of B and C influences that have a conscious origin.
