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."

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.
