  • The Symbology of the Buddhist Wheel of Life. Part One
    1 | Page Buddhist Wheel of Life – Eugene Halliday The Symbology of The Buddhist Wheel of Life. The talk is recorded in two parts. Transcribed by John Bailey, November 2007. Colour pictures of the wheel were taken from: http://www.cleo.net.uk/resources/displayframe.php?src=205 …the placement of the six types on this wheel are slightly different to Eugene’s. Sanskrit words were verified at http://spokensanskrit.de/ Part one: There is only one being, and all the functions of this being produce, apparently, a plurality of beings. But these beings are fundamentally one being, who is the host ... and the plurality are the guests within the house. 2 | Page Buddhist Wheel of Life – Eugene Halliday The Holy G-host is the same infinite spirit, internal to which its own modalities, its own different modes of behaving and functioning, produced an apparent plurality. Now the same thing appears in this Buddhist Wheel called the Wheel of Life, and the analysis of it can be done in a variety of ways. The usual way is to describe it as a wheel illustrating six totally different realms within the totality of manifest universal formal function. But there is another key to it. Gods You’re all probably thoroughly familiar with the Greeks’ definition of the gods and their behaviour ... that in Greek philosophy the gods were so pre-occupied in their heaven with their own delights, that they ignored the rest of reality. Now, it’s precisely the same definition in this Buddhist Wheel is given of the gods, the Devas of the Buddhist and Hindu system.

  • Defence of the Devil
    THE COLLECTED WORKS OF EUGENE HALLIDAY Volume I Defence of the Devil An Autobiographical Revelation Edited by David Mahlowe Editor’s Note The privileged company who knew the author of these works, and experienced at first hand his boundless wisdom and humanity will know how difficult it is to make credible to a wider audience the magnitude of his powers. His own description of himself was simple and invariable; “Eugene Halliday, Artist”. In the perfection of its Renaissance application it was exact. In Hermeneutics, Art, Religion Philosophy and Science, our author was a true Master; man as microcosm, man as mediator of all things The enigmatic sub- title of this book (‘An Autobiographical Revelation’) is no more a joke than is the book itself. Throughout his life, Eugene Halliday worked without cease. The body of his work, written, spoken, drawn, painted, and sculpted, is imprinted not merely on paper and clay, but in the hearts of all those he helped in the spirit of Logos- love. He defined Love as, “The willingness to develop the potential of Being wherever it appears." His life was utterly devoted to it until, worn out in love's service, he died in 1987, in his 76th year. The vast span of the author's philosophical, religious and mystical experience is embodied in these succeeding books. Nothing has been added to or taken away from his words. Eugene Halliday was and is the most significant spirit of our time. His teaching is vital to the development of the individual reflexive self- consciousness which alone can save the world.

  • The Zodiascope
    The Zodiascope Concentration, Meditation, Contemplation In every meditational procedure there are distinct steps to be taken. (1) We decide to meditate. (2) We withdraw our attention from the things of the external world. (3) We concentrate our mind upon some interesting subject. (4) We analyze this subject into all its parts and study these parts and their relations with each other and with the whole of which they are parts. (5) We hold the pattern of the whole analytical process together in an act of comprehension of its meaning. This is called contemplation. Concentration means `with one centre'. It requires that we set up in the mind some single idea of such a kind that to it we can refer every other idea that we have. Such an idea gives us the power of unifying our mind, and so of bringing it into peace and harmony. Meditation is a mental process in which we disclose progressively the meaning of our central thought; we must proceed by defining our use of the words we use to express this idea. Our mind compares ideas, notes their similarities and differences, grouping them together in patterns. It is precisely the discovery of a meaningful pattern that is the object of meditation. Contemplation, unlike meditation, does not follow a sequence if ideas through time. IT CONTEMPLATES PATTERN. Contemplation is essentially silent; to attain it we must still every mental process. Then the pattern discovered by the meditation process will be able to have its own effect on our mind. WHOLENESS of awareness appears only in contemplation, NOT in meditation.

    Anthony Peake’s The Labyrinth of Time March 2017 Ashvil 1 ‘The soul's day and God's day are different. In her natural day the soul knows all things above time and place, nothing is far or near. And that is why I say, this day all things are of equal rank. To talk about the world as being made by God tomorrow, yesterday, would be talking nonsense. God makes the world and all things in this planet now. Time gone a 1,000 years ago is now as present and as near to God as this very instant.’ Meister Eckhart "People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." - Albert Einstein Anthony Peake: The Labyrinth of Time Mr Peake begins the book by defining the task, ‘I was astonished to discover that this word is the most-used noun in the English language. It is a small, four letter word that contains within it so much mystery. Indeed, the very word itself cannot really be defined in any accurate or meaningful way. Marcus Aurelius [121-180] stated that “Time is a river made of events.” But if time is a river what are the banks and what are the riverbed ? What makes this river of time flow ? A real river flows because it is affected by gravity . However we have no evidence of any external motive force that makes time flow. Do we travel through time or does time flow around us ? The great French writer Pierre de Ronsard [1524-85] made this point perfectly when he stated : “Time is passing, time is passing Madame.

  • Reflexive Self-Consciousness - 1
    Reflexive Self-Consciousness - 1 REFLEXIVE SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS By Eugene Halliday Reflexive Self-Consciousness - 2 PROLOGUE 1. Before entering into the discussion of our subject we will quickly examine a few terms relating to consciousness. There are several words often used more or less indiscriminately to express what we mean when we say we know anything; and as knowing is known only to a knower, words relating to knowing are not definable ultimately other than by appeal to the knowingness in a knower. 2. We may say we know a thing, we are aware of it, we are conscious of it, we feel it, we sense it, etc. 3. Awareness, consciousness, feeling, sensation; all these words refer to that whereby we know what we know. It is significant and important that we cannot indicate what we mean by one of these words without appealing to that in us which corresponds with their significance, that is, to that in us which knows that it knows. From this fact may be shown the ultimate infiniteness of sentience. 4. All these words refer to that in and by which we know. If we persist in asking what we mean by this we can reply only, "We know what we mean. Consciousness is its own evidence. Self-evidence is the means whereby sentience knows itself." 5. Because it is not proved by other than itself to itself, we say that consciousness of consciousness is immediate. ‘Immediate’ means, ‘not mediated’; ‘not using anything other than itself to know itself’. 6. Nothing proves consciousness or sentience to exist other than itself.

  • Tape 402 Definitions – a Transcript of a Talk by Eugene Halliday
    Definitions– a transcript of a talk by Eugene Halliday Tape 402 Definitions – a transcript of a talk by Eugene Halliday. [All commentary supplied by the transcriber are in square brackets [ ] and in smaller font italics. There are some small indecipherable phrases – as yet. The tape is also incomplete and starts in the middle of a question from the audience. Alan Roberts August 2006] A freely downloadable audio-file of the following transcribed talk is available by accessing the ‘Archive’ page(s) at the website of the ‘Eugene Halliday Institute for the Study of Hierological Values’. NOTE: Transcribers comments are between square brackets [ ] DEFINITIONS A talk given by Eugene Halliday in Liverpool or Manchester during the late 1950’s/early 60’s (Lecture 402) Précis The tape begins halfway through a question which Eugene directs into a consideration of words and the importance of them being correctly defined. He states that the fundamental problems of religious differences and the effects of propaganda stem from incorrect use of terms. Well used words such as ‘spirit’ and ‘soul’ are rarely defined. Someone asks him to define ‘definition’ and he responds saying that we define not the things themselves but the limit of how we can apply the word, we limit by circumscribing how we can use a word. Thus words are how we order the content of our minds. He proceeds to describe the idea of the largest conceivable circle – macro cosmos – that includes all other smaller ones and creates a unity; where the paper is representing a plane for receiving marks and marks are representing definitions.

  • Eugene Halliday
    Eugene Halliday God and the Devil At no point in Christian history has this view, namely the view of the identity, absolutely, of God and the Devil, been seriously propounded or gained even limited acceptance, and this despite the earnest thinking of many great minds. This view has not been seriously propounded. The reason for it not being seriously propounded is simply because it is unfit for publication . So we will have to define what ‘public’ is, to see why we cannot publish it. Obviously you are not the public tonight, otherwise we wouldn’t be discussing it. We might as well write it down - and that might be considered a correct way of spelling the word ‘public’. And you know that this particular part refers to the rude end of the body and this l-i-c root is the same as the l-i-k-e root and simply means “to lick”. Now, this is the rude end of the body, and that is the licking of that rude end, the liking of that rude end, and the public, therefore, means that body of beings whose favourite occupation concentrates whatever energies they have down in the nether regions. The reason that certain subjects cannot be openly and plainly stated to the public is simply because if they are stated, the public will assume that they already understand it because of their basic function being precisely this energy functioning in a polar manner already in themselves at that level. That is to say, they will imagine that a straight line entering a circle is what they are in fact already engaged in.
