Part 1 of Episode 24 is the first part of the audio version of Chapter XXIII of Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky read by Fred Flanagan. I'm releasing the chapter reading for Chapter 23 in 3 parts because of its length this is Part 1. This chapter will be read by my late father Fred Flanagan as a nod to the past and the person who introduced me to the book. In Part 1 of this chapter Ouspensky challenges whether we really understand the meaning of life. He suggests we are fixated in the material and social systems and miss the whole point. Ouspensky doesn’t stop there though suggesting that there are two separate races of man living simultaneously on the planet. One race, in the minority, has the ability to attain cosmic consciousness and with this knowledge comes power. The rest of us will have to get used to the concept of ‘some are more equal than others’. Hear him out and make up your own mind. To listen to the panel discussion of this chapter, see parts 4 and above of this episode.
