The zero point teachings are a portal of some sort and I invite you to consider an alternative view of the nature and structure of reality--to view the world in a magical and mystical way. The basic concept is that all living beings, including you, have a zero point centre within connected to the higher dimensional physics of the heart. This is the means by which "the Gods and other invisible powers clothe themselves in bodies"-as explained by mystic scholar Madame Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine (1888). Just as the scientists now conceive that our huge universe grew from an infinitesimal singularity out of the quantum vacuum, so also, I am suggesting that you also have such a hidden zero point or singularity source condition--a singular I within the Heart. Further, we ourselves emerge "out of nothingness" in some mysterious way unknown to modern science and contemporary understanding, but consistent with modern views of the physics of the quantum vacuum, as void and plenum, filled with light and zero point fields. Mystic Aivanhov (1976) elaborates upon the significance of the zero point concept: "I ... engraved the symbol of the knowledge of the Initiates: a circle with a point in the center. ... Understand me once and for all: I am speaking from experience, for me it is not mere theory, all my life has been based on this symbol of the circle with its central point. This center which is in us, we must find ." (Love and Sexuality, I, pp. 25-6)

The Slugs provides an overview, explanation and interpretation of G. I. Gurdjieff's masterpiece Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, undoubtedly one of the most profound and mysterious books of the sacred literature in the modern world. The framework of ideas, claims and objective science offers a fundamentally alternative view of the nature of life, the origins and history of the Solar System and humankind, the nature of the human psyche and psychopathology, and a science of the soul. In the light of The Tales, most of modern thought and philosophy is so much 'pouring-from-the-empty-into-the-void.' The 'sorry scientists' of 'new format' have no conception of the great inscrutable mysteries of Nature and the subtle inner dimensions and alchemy of human beings. Beelzebub's Tales is a work not only of myth, allegory, history and fantasy, but about the secrets of 'objective science' and the psychology of the soul. Gurdjieff's masterful Tales also provides a shocking portrait of the "strangeness of the human psyche" and explains how humans' essential consciousness and the divine impulses of faith, hope and love, passed into the 'subconsciousness, ' while a 'false consciousness system' replaced it, crystallized around their egoism and associated unbecoming being-impulses. Beelzebub as a cosmic figure of higher reason observes the horrific "processes of reciprocal destruction," or war as periodically occurs on Earth, and asks how such phenomenal depravities come about and why humans cannot eradicate such an arch-criminal particularity in their psyche. The strange three-brained beings perceive reality "topsy-turvy," are mechanized to "see nothing real" and squander their sacred sexual substances solely for pleasure and their multiform vices. Beelzebub's portrayal of the "Hasnamusses," individuals who lack the Divine being-impulse of 'conscience, ' the 'intelligentsia' and the 'crats, ' provides vivid images of the psychopathology of the world's so-called 'elites' with their special societies or "criminal gangs," their "international five o'clocks" and "Hasnamussian sciences." The future of humanity is bleak indeed without the guidance of a being of such a higher intelligence as Beelzebub himself. The Slugs, like Gurdjieff's Tales, provides searing and illuminating insights into human psychopathology, the cause of war and the horror of it all.
