It goes back to the basics. It goes back to the surface. It goes back to Strategy and Authority and to something else. It is the beginning of the work of the Passenger to bring the passenger to awakenness that the Passenger needs to watch and needs to understand the way in which they are fixed in how they operate. How it is locked in because it is a formula and it is chemistry. And to be able to see that it’s not about why do you keep your mouth shut when you’re listening to somebody and you really want to tell them that they’ve got it wrong, when in fact when you’re going out the door it’s very easy for you to be that Authoritarian. They’re different things. They’re different aspects of the totality that ultimately is your being. We are very, very complex creatures in that way.

It’s like when the passenger finally can surrender the muscles in the face relax. You know that. People who tend to have a certain level of awareness have this appearance of looking younger. It’s not because they have some kind of youth formula. They don’t. Their faces are relaxed. It all ends up in the face. The moment that you’re not able to truly live out what is your being, live out your role as complex and dynamic it is, it’s there in the face.

Others see it. As a matter of fact, if you get stuck in being the Authoritarian your face always looks that way. If you get stuck being the Empath your face looks that way. It just does. It’s like those 59 roles where there is that leer on the face that never goes away, even though that person is not a dirty old whatever. It gets stuck there. Human beings are interesting.
