Doctrine :-

You must not believe any of this.

No religion can contain more then three members.

In the province of the mind, what is believed to be true is true or becomes true, within limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind, there are no limits.

All sin is restriction.

Ninety percent of everything is crap (Sturgeon's Law).

68% of all statistics are made up.

Life is an illusion.

Some days you get the Bear and some days the Bear gets you.

We judge reality by the response of our senses. Once we are convinced of the reality of a given situation, we abide by its rules.

First of all we need to understand that we are machine-people, simple puppets controlled by secret agents, hidden Selves.

The Kind of Knowledge that transforms a person's inner self can never be obtained through external observation.

It is known that in Gnosis there exists an esoteric practice of Inner Silence. The Students of the “Third Chamber” know this.

Practising the “Inner Silence” does not mean either stopping anything penetrating our mind.

Learning to remain silent not only with the external tongue, but also with the secret inner tongue is extraordinary and wonderful.

The worst of life's circumstances, the most critical events, and the most difficult situations are always wonderful for inner self-discovery.

What is truth ? Idea identical with being.
What is reality ? Knowledge identical with being.
What is reason ? The Word identical with being.
What is justice ? The motive of acts identical with being.
What is the absolute ? Being.

Sleep is an incomplete death. Death is a complete sleep.
Your body is not a temple it is an amusement arcade.
To Will evil, is to Will death. A perverse Will is a beginning of suicide.
A chain of iron is easier to break than a chain of flowers (or thought).
Axiom of Double Negation :- NOT (NOT P) = P.
Complementing Axiom :- P AND (NOT P) = FALSE.


Parables :-

A disciple of another sect once came to Sweep as he was eating his morning meal. "I would like to give you this personality test", said the outsider, "because I want you to be happy." Sweep took the paper that was offered him and put it into the toaster, saying: "I wish the toaster to be happy, too."

Sue was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on. Mathew, seeing what the bear was doing, spoke sternly: "You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong." Mathew turned the machine off and on. The machine worked.

Matthew Corbett as a young student of Bearism, visited one master after another. He called upon Sooty. Desiring to show his attainment, he said "The mind, Leary and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received".
Sooty suddenly produced his water-pist-all and shot Matthew right in the eye. Matthew said "Sooty you little shite arse!!".
"If nothing exists" whispered Sooty into Matthew's ear, "where did this anger come from?".

Sooty raised his finger whenever he was asked a question about Bearism. Sweep began to imitate him in this way. When anyone asked Sweep what the master had preached about, the dog would raise his own finger. Sooty heard about Sweep's mischief. He seized him and cut off his finger. Sweep screamed and ran away. Sooty called and stopped him. When Sweep turned his snout towards Sooty, Sooty raised up his own finger. In that instant Sweep was enlightened.

When Sooty was about to pass from our TV screens he gathered his puppets around him. "I attained my finger-Zen" he said, "from my teacher Harry Corbett, and in my whole life I could not exhaust it." Then he disappeared from our screens.


Sacred Numbers :-

3 Equal to pi (for small values of pi and large values of 3).
17 The least random number.
23 Sacred number of Eris, Goddess of Discord. (The Greek goddess of Chaos, Discord, Confusion, and Things You Know Not Of).
42 The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
69 &105 69 hex = 105 decimal, and 69 decimal = 105 octal.


The Holy Incarnation (Avatar) - Sooty

Consider :- His Style of Magick.
The wand is moved so as to repeatedly describe the mathematical symbol for infinity.

The Invocation “Izzy Wizzy: Lets Get Busy”, “Izzy Wizzy” forms a double magickal pun.
a) “is he wizzy”
b) “is E wizzy”
On the Tree of Life these refer to Cerebral Excitants & Ergot ( “Lets Get Busy” = lets take them ), The Juggler & The Lovers, the Gift of Tongues & the Power of bring in two places at one time ( This one is Clever as Sooty never speaks and is a reference to the glove puppet heresy. ), The Calvary Cross & The Swastika ( Symbols that are opposites and at the same time identical ! ), The 40 Buddhist Meditations gives Yellow & Wind (or Sooty his self).

The Knocks “dud, dudduda dha da,da da”; 7 Knocks formed from two groups ( 5 + 2 ) : 7 being the number of Magick : 5 the number of man & 2 the number for the universes' poles of existence (Yin – Yang)

In this form his truth is paradox idly reviled by orange fur covering up the true form. His dialogue with his devotees is transmitted through subtle movements of the holy body, for to name a thing is to miss a thing.
