There's 4 more days to get these letters. After that, I'm retired. I've got 8 PDF files of letters Wierwille wrote to The Way Corps (1977 - 1981). They reveal the manipulative man he was behind-the-scenes, seeking adoration, using intimidation to get loyalty, and seeking sympathy over his imagined persecution by anyone he considered an enemy. I'll send the letters until April 30, 2025 at 5 pm. How to get them? Send me a message either here on GSC or at https://charleneedge.com

Hi - can you be more specific on what it is you're feeling ignorant about, "that topic"...? What is it you're looking for more of? Put another way, if there's a gap, how do you describe it - big? Small? this or that? etc? Couple thoughts - VPW interpreted and taught 1 Cor 12 as a hierarchical organization, and a taxonomy of "the spirit", of our new birth. A list of things that he organized into what he saw as logical groupings, of what he labelled the worship, revelation and importation manifestations. He had a very mechanical view of how it all "worked" which was a product of this approach. VPW's teaching on these were predicated on his idea/explanation of "The Great Principle"..."God's spirit teaches His creation in you which is now your spirit and your spirit teaches your mind then it becomes manifested in the sense realm as you act." I don't personally want to under value the teaching of spiritual life in Christ being an ongoing, current and active "spiritual" life, with the behaviors and qualities that are written about in Corinthians, so I did get value from that. But how it all "works" is where I think VPW took a detour, he was limited by his insistence on his teaching of "believing to receive" and the implications of what he taught in that "Great Principle". He didn't get clear about the relationship between the ideas of nous, psuche, pneuma, thelema and a few other terms used in the NT, again because he seemed insistent on keeping and defending what he knew, versus learning and growing what he knew. For other sources, I'd agree that going to the B G Leonard courses, which are or were offered by the CTC group would be a place to understand the foundations of what the Way taught, from the source and might help you to move forward. Also, try the E W Bullinger books "How to Enjoy the Bible" and "The Giver and His Gifts", they cover all that ground too. I don't have any other go-to sources currently other than to read a wide range of what people of all sects and churches are doing.

"And since he is no longer insame, he has as much of a right to his own life as you and I."

Columbo?

What's a chewing gum wrapper got to do with the secrets of the universe?

At the heart of all manipulation is CONTROL. In case the manipulation Victor Wierwille used in his Way Corpse letters isn't 100 percent clear to you, I offer this YT video by Brené Brown.

"Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe."

That's him!

Of course, it's Human's turn. (In case anyone missed that.)

TWI is doing some "jewelry" work showing VPW in certain contexts, for example in the ROA 25 videos VPW is not shown much, but they did recently release a book called "Faithful Bridge - Builders of the Way."

Let's see that's not "Yesterday" or "Tomorrow Never Comes". I don't know. I might need some "Help" with this one? I have an original movie cardboard cut out from the movie "Help". It sits on a flat service, like you would see in the movie theatres, you know, the one where the Boys are dressed in black and each placing they're hands out in different directions over the words H E L P.

"For me this changes the shape of the world. For you who were slaves with me, it means that we're no longer slaves, that we once more have a home and a country. For you who are English it means a chance to fight for your native land... for I now propose to sail into Port Royal and take it from the French! Those of you who are not English will have to be content with fighting for Captain Blood... and the loot you'll find on the French ships. Are you willing to fight, men?" "Welcome to Sherwood, my lady!" "May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, sire!"

"When I was younger, so much younger than today"

"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb."

This is the age of machinery A mechanical nightmare The wonderful world of technology Napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare You keep all your smart modern writers Give me William Shakespeare You keep all your smart modern painters I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough Girl we gotta get out of here We gotta find a solution

That's his eminence, George (Conclave). You got it.

Thanks My Friend!! I really appreciate it. I will listen attentively

This show was not a series in the traditional sense, although nineteen roughly semi-annual episodes aired over a period of twelve years. One might describe this show as demonstrating people in unaccustomed roles. George
