What Is the Difference Between Stelle and Adelphi’s
Function?
Q: What is the difference, in function, between
Stelle and Adelphi? What are the tasks assigned to each and what is each place’s
role in the scheme of things?
A: Well, The
Stelle Group has its membership divided between the two communities. The
Stelle Group here is going to be principally involved in assimilating new
people, in many cases not necessarily choosing to make them members, or
trying to insist that they become members, but at least passing around the
facts of our philosophy. We have discover that most people like so much the
tools that we give them to bring their life into order that they eventually
become attracted to the whole thing that we have to offer.
We
are going to be having Stelle here in Illinois an open community where people
can come in and examine what it is that we have to offer without having to
join up with some kind of a church organization that they perhaps are not
entirely sure until such time as they can examine it thoroughly. We feel that
that would be more freeing to many people. I think some people are a little
concerned about moving into an organization’s community where that church is
in total command, as it were, of everything that happens in the community.
That might be scary to some folks. By taking that concern away, we think we
might be able to attract people a little more easily to come here and
experience what it is that we have developed over the last ten years here in
the community and thereby become convinced that this is something they would
like to work with us on.
The Adelphi Organization also has Stelle Group
members in it and it is primarily concentrating on some of the specific
technical tasks that have been assigned to The Stelle Group and we are—both
organizations are very much concerned with education, both of children and of
adults—both working on that aspect, both Stelle and Adelphi. Adelphi is a
closed community and those people who are willing to work with The Stelle
Group in that type of a situation are entitled to do so and those who will
have many things to offer others who come in. As a matter of fact, the people
who we had stay here were the ones who seemed to be particularly adept at
being outgoing towards other people, being accepting of other people, and
helping them get to the same kinds of benefits that we have derived from it.
More people oriented, let’s say. And the others who have moved on to Adelphi,
who are able to work more in close coordination in a corporation type setting
to accomplish very specific goals, are the ones who seem to be happier doing
that sort of thing down at Adelphi, So, we always try to use everybody’s
strengths to best advantage. Maybe that did not answer all your questions
that you have about it.
Q: I guess I was looking at it mainly from the
technical aspect. Is there still technical, technological research and work
being done up here?
A: Yes. You cannot stop people from doing that sort
of thing cause they want it. It is just natural to them. We have a grand
collection of “probers” here who want to get behind the physical phenomena
that we perceive and also examine all the different ways that people have put
together civilization and select the best that they can think of out of that
and try to fly with it. We have spent twenty years examining all of the
aspects of civilization in trying to decide what kinds of things really do
not apply for the future and what things have proven themselves so well that
they will probably go as long as mankind goes. It is an interesting exercise
if you examine everything in life under those circumstances. That is why our
philosophy covers everything.
