January 9, 1976 The Board of Trustees The Stelle Group Stelle, Illinois Cabery P.O., 60919 Greetings: In accordance with my
agreement to let you know immediately should I again have a contact from a representative
of the Brotherhoods, I am able to advise you that my teacher, John, met me in
person for a four hour conversation yesterday afternoon in Garland, Texas. I
am happy to say that the areas of our discussion relating to Stelle consisted
of what can be regarded as good news. The Brotherhoods’ neutral,
wait-and-see position was lifted several months ago, and They are again
affording us protection, actively providing challenges and
opportunities for us by which to learn and grow, and helping to transmute our
karmic shortcomings. John urged that current financial liabilities be brought
up to date in order to free up Stelle business activity and afford larger
profit margins. He re-emphasized the need for real changes in social
attitudes and interaction along the lines of my letter explaining the delay
in the arrival of Emissaries to teach Citizenship Training. John stated that the exodus
of the former trustees and their followers was really the removal of those
persons who were so engrained with certain old-order attitudes and values
that they sought to maintain that status quo. Apparently, the former trustees
are not guilty so much of leading their followers astray, but rather they
were not strong enough or sufficiently knowledgeable to re-educate themselves
or their followers toward the truth or to guide them through the uncertainties
of the changes demanded by a new-order culture. That faction removed
themselves out of their own reactionary rigidity. Therefore, the former
trustees are not likely to experience any negative karma for splitting off
from The Stelle Group provided, of course, that everyone concerned returns
all the money taken as “back wages” from Stelle Industries and they return
all the materials and records belonging to both the group and the industries.
Those people who left are now presently outside of Stelle and association
with the Brotherhoods’ work. Except for a few of them who the Brotherhoods
still consider enemies of the Great Plan, the majority of those who went to
Wisconsin or who just left and went back home are at peace with The Stelle
Group and are entitled to seek Egoic advancement by whatever other means they
choose. This is not to say that they cannot again work in Stelle, but they
must first prove their loyalty and steadfastness. All persons who labor for
advancement, in or outside of Stelle, are so steeped in the errors of our
parent society that the faults, illusions and myths that everyone has brought
with them into Stelle makes for but a thin line between the Ins and the Outs.
Not until a drastic revision in Stelle’s way of life actually becomes a
reality does anyone have much cause to criticize another. I have been given to
understand, however, that two persons are in severe karmic jeopardy—Craig
Zeilenga and James Dale. Whatever money is actually lost by the people of
Stelle through the claims the two men initiated in order to be paid for their
donated time must be shared as karmic indebtedness by the two. I am told by
John that Stelle does not deserve having the Labor Department’s rule applied
to Stelle’s free-will agreement between co-contributors to their own
enterprise. I have John’s encouragement
to write a book along the lines asked of me by Walter Cox, and we had
considerable discussion of what John would like to have included in it. I had
a very pleasant conversation with John, and for the first time our meeting
was not on a teacher-student level but rather was more of a good humored chat
between friends. I had the feeling that I was being treated as a person who
had come of age, and He seemed to regard my opinions and ideas as useful and
valuable. It’s funny how late in my life I had still felt like a child in His
presence. That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t respect His knowledge and
powers. John became pretty emphatic when He restated that I am still
responsible for The Stelle Group and am answerable for its conduct, and He
gets His point across that He means business. John’s opinion that Stelle is
moving more in the right directions than in the wrong directions makes me
feel a bit more comfortable about my absence from the site. I expect that
communications between me and Stelle will be enlarged and bettered as time
goes by. Most of my discussion with
John centered around my personal progress and the work immediately before me
for the next several years. So most of what was said relative to Stelle I
have relayed to you in broad terms. I expect this information has confirmed
the correctness of your continued faith in Stelle during those bleak days of
1975. Your efforts have justified a reinstatement of the Brotherhoods’
support of your goal to advance civilization. My sincerest best wishes, Richard Kieninger |
