But like everything else in this knowledge it begins with one human being at time. The perfection of the martyr is that everything that it touches brings value. It touches something, it doesn’t work. Out of that not working comes its discovery, comes its power, and comes its strength, because it was the right thing to go wrong. Oh how sweet that is for the martyr, the right thing that goes wrong, how deep, how impressive is the knowledge that arises out of that that does not carry with it the sense of failure. That carries with it a renewed power. This is the beauty. It’s what they’re about.

They’re not here to be any more dysfunctional than anything else. This is always the tragedy, because it is simple; Strategy and Authority is simple, but you’ve got to be there at the door and the door has to open and you don’t get there yourself. And as not-self you arrive and know not why. You’ve got all kinds of stuff you made up as to why you happen to be at that place at that point. And if you know, it happened to you, you banged into it, it banged into you. It showed up. That’s what it does for those that are ready, that it’s possible.
