MASTER AND APPREHENTICE

     Adore teaches that physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
advance goes through the cycle of Child, Woman, Man, God and back to
Child again at the next level up.
 
     Each lower phase is in apprehentice to the mastery of the higher
phase.  The higher phase hasn't mastered the higher phase, it has
mastered the lower phase.  The woman hasn't mastered being a woman,
she has mastered being a child, and thus can help the child master
being a child.
 
     The child phase seeks mastery of total irresponsibility.
 
     The woman phase seeks mastery of defense.
 
     The man phase seeks mastery of offense.
 
     The god phase seeks mastery of total responsibility.
 
     Power change is graduating from the god phase to the child phase
at the next level up.
 
     The primary crime between phases is to fail or refuse to operate
in beings who have attained a higher phase what you need to operate in
them in order to survive yourself and what they need to have operated
in them in order to survive themselves.

     The higher phase has abilities to help the lower phases that go
unoperated due to unwillingness to be helped by the lower phases or an
unwillingness to admit they are in fact in a lower phase.
 
     Some times people in a higher phase but lower cycle will pretend
to be masters to those in a lower phase in a higher cycle.  This will
always fail.
 
     Assuming you know what cycle you are in, and are not confusing
those in lower cycles as your peers or superiors,

     Run:
 
     What does the child have that the mother doesn't?
     What does the mother have that the child doesn't?
   
     What does the mother have that the father doesn't?
     What does the father have that the mother doesn't?
  
     What does the father have that the god doesn't?
     What does the god have that the father doesn't?
 
     What does the god have that the next child up doesn't?
     What does the next child up have that the god doesn't?
 
     Failure to recognize and operate in your superiors the abilities
they have which can help you advance leads to a dwindling spiral of
disability and decay.
