Eugene begins by asking David about tonight’s topic. David replies with the title but Eugene changes it to ‘Peril of Great Price’. The oyster is an ancient joke about a woman: you have to swallow it (her) whole, you cannot chew (analyse) it. An oyster is soft-bodied, with little structure, but a hard case round it. “The hard case is a defence that any woman has against external structure.” Inside the shell is a very sensitive being, able to sense changes in moon phases. (Many marine creatures come to the surface just before full-moon.) Women are similar: “They are very sensitive to universal force-fields and they are hard, or case-hardened, against external imposition of strict logic.” The pearl in the oyster is a product of irritation from a well-defined form, usually a grain of sand. If a man knows how to irritate a woman with a well-defined idea, she will produce a ‘pearl of great price’; a pearl of wisdom. This is not easy, and a man must study a woman closely to discover what is most irritating to her! Women are not ‘irrational’, which means ‘bad reason’, but non-rational. “They do not commit themselves to obey the strictures of logic.”

“Everything you do know is in your consciousness. What is not in your consciousness, you do not know.” Also, you must focus within it. “If you do not focus, you do not know.” But when you focus on a finite, you un-focus upon the Infinite. The purpose of contemplation is to expand the focus. i.e. to expand consciousness. When you do this you expand your ‘power to be’. “Consciousness and Power are fundamentally identical.” “Power is feminine and consciousness is masculine.” The male has forgotten that ideas are powers; when we think, we are handling power. If we forget this, we become identified with the idea and trapped by it. e.g. if you are thinking of a triangle, you cannot consider the meaning of a square.
