[Excerpts from conversations between Rita Warren and “the guys upstairs,” in the years 2001 and 2002, edited from The Sphere and the Hologram.]
Secret Schools
R: You know, there are some specific places in the world where some things are happening, like the Monroe Institute training process and other similar things, where people are getting some direction in this process, but it seems as though most of the world isn’t there, so are we talking about building little islands here that will somehow spread?
TGU: There are always secret schools, and secret schools may not even know that they are secret schools. They may have their attention firmly placed on something else, but of course from the other side we can direct the opportunities and we can suggest to people the lessons to be learned from things. You know the parable of the leavening of the loaf. It takes only a tiny bit to leaven a huge loaf. If the leaven were absent, the bread would not rise. If it were all leaven, it wouldn’t be bread. If all the leaven were in one place, it wouldn’t rise evenly. It’s a matter of proper proportions in the proper place.
You are a member of one secret school, although it may not know that it’s a secret school – some do and some don’t, depending on their perception – and this secret school is being supported from our side in order to provide a cadre of people with improved access to certainty, so that they may be anchors of stability to those around them. But there is no necessity to have 13,425 Monroe Institutes around the world. There’s no necessity to have that same number of Trappist monasteries throughout the world. Or Buddhist monasteries, or Islamic study centers, or synagogues. You see? Secret schools are secret for one reason – because they’re right out in the open. That’s the only way to keep a secret. They’re secret because people can’t see what’s in front of them.
And in a secret school – we’re using that word meaning a school that teaches secrets – it is not necessary that the people in that school, on a Downstairs level, understand what they’re doing. It is only necessary that they change. So their Upstairs component is leading them gently to do this, that and the other, and some are good Catholics and some are good Muslims, and there are innumerable members of secret schools who consider themselves to be atheists. It doesn’t matter to us! And in fact, it is an old law of nature that safety is found in diversity. So, if you need your secret schools to continue and to be invulnerable to the vagaries of history, scatter them out in 50 million different ways. Make them look nothing like each other.
R: And some will survive.
TGU: More than some. And it’s not so much a question of surviving, that’s a little too grim. It’s more a question of, some will have greater influence than others.
You’re not in a situation where it’s beginning to rain and there’s only one ark.
