New Truth from Higher Centers

We have to have quite new forms of Truth to reach Higher Centers, we have to have a new language, we have to have new ways of thinking which have nothing to do with the world as seen. The Truth that is coming from Higher Centers continually cannot reach us because of the falsity and pretence which only insight resulting from self-observation can penetrate.

If the ideas of the Work lie only in the memory, they are useless, or rather, you are useless. The Work cannot help you even if you know it from beginning to end formatorily, nor can anyone help you. One of the Work-octaves put forward by Mr. Ouspensky was: Mi—realization of one's own difficulties. Re—application of the ideas of the Work to oneself. Do—hearing the ideas of the Work, evaluating them.
