A Synopsis of THEDOG

[Russell Smith]

A response to a student’s question about “finding that intensity of work effort that we will need to make any real being progress”.

I awoke this morning with the lingering resonance of your last question still fluttering about in the coffers of my brain, so I shall try to provide you with a glimpse of the future… based on the law-conformability of the past.

I teach those who seek to awaken their Higher Centers how that can be realized.  Hundreds of seekers who have wished to awake have found me… and those, who had a solid Fourth Way background, came here and did so.

Here is a synopsis of the last 20 years:

Less than half a dozen of the people who came here did not awake. Instead, they came with the agenda of teaching me “the so-called truths they had acquired,” and as such, were not here seeking anything that I had to offer. Thus, I did not share with them The Objective Exercise, but instead discussed several Work ideas with them. When they left, they were happy they had come. They even bought some books; and as such, were excited to be able to add Cosmic Secrets to their storehouse of, “Look at what I found, which I think is of great value. Hey, I even got to spend several days with the author”.

A dozen other sojourners who came to Texas, wanted to learn everything they could about the “law of octaves,” because they were all following the ideals of a man who told them that the secret to making money in the stock market was predicated on them having an good understanding of the law of octaves, and oscillations (cycles). And since my book reeked of such things, they found their way to Texas in order to learn about them.

Most of them did make it through The Objective Exercise and therefore, did awake; but some did not. However, they were all extremely happy to learn about the rules and the laws, which they took home and happily applied to their professions. Some of them even called me to see if I would be willing to explain the rules and laws to one or more of their colleagues, to which I declined.

However, it was nice to know that there were a few conscious traders out there that would not go bonkers if the stock market went belly up.

The next measure of seekers, actually came here to change their inner world. They went through Cosmic Secrets, The Objective Exercise, and they awoke. Thus, they became objective-beings of the 1st magnitude, and left here with inner peace, clarity, and the ability to stop thoughts. Then, back in life, having contact with their Stewards, they were able to improve their employment, improve their marriage, improve their relationship with their family, and their interactions with the world.

To this day I am still receiving random emails, letters, Christmas cards, phone calls, and pictures of them and their happily growing families.

They got what they came here for, that is, the ability to easily maneuver through life, and to have in their own thoughts, a certain immunity, even from themselves.

Following those seekers, were the hundreds of seekers who, after awakening and experiencing the inner taste of freedom and immunity, demanded more. They wanted to awaken their Higher Mental Centers as well; and as such, went on to acquire the Master Exercises, and became objective-beings of the 2nd magnitude. Thereafter, they established channels of communications with me, wherein they would seek my counsel and get my advice regarding the journey towards dying to themselves, with the aim of acquiring the possibility of being born again, and entering the world of reason and impartiality.

Most continued along the objective path, and based on their efforts and dogged determination, qualified to die; and thus received the Double or Nothing Exercise Part I, that is, became objective-beings of the 3rd magnitude.

I must say that everyone who received the Double or Nothing Exercise Part I could taste completion, and after much “practice, practice, practice”, were quickly ready to go beyond just dying, and thereby qualified to receive the Double or Nothing Exercise Part II. Where after, they would start the law-conformable process of being born again; and inevitably attain reason and impartiality, which made them objective-beings of the 4th magnitude. That is, beings who could legitimately show others how to acquire the first 3 objective-being magnitudes.

Law-conformably, they are the students who really understood the value and significance of my teaching, and because of that, they are the ones who have kept my teaching pure, and have gone on to duplicate this school – to ensure that this Objective Way does not disappear from reality.  That has made it possible for us to establish schools of THEDOG on different continents.  There are other qualified students out there, spattered across various countries, in various states, and cities, around which, future schools will surely arise.

The rules are, “You don’t start a school”… it evolves around you.  Firstly, an objective teacher appears. They do not seek students…  Instead, and secondly, as they move through life, they will encounter many people. Some of whom will begin to recognize their objectivity, their reason, and their impartiality… and will become curious about them, “Who are you?” they will ask. They will then approach them and begin asking them questions; and will eventually, pursue them, because they sense something about them that they wish to acquire, and will want to become their student, hoping that they too will attain that which they have observed.  Thirdly, they must be able to take students through Cosmic Secrets (the same way that I do)’ and be able show them how to awaken.  And fourthly, when enough students have sought their teaching, have been successfully taken through the objective process of Cosmic Secrets, have received the April Fools exercise, and awoke… then another school of THEDOG will be established.

After I awoke, I came to understand that this was greatest calling for a man. That is, not to just be able to show others how to awaken, but to be able to show others, how to be able to show others, how to awaken… but to do so, I knew I would have to, unselfishly, cast the seeds of truth (which I had been fortunate enough to discover) into the winds of mankind… overcoming the birds… overcoming the shallow, rocky soil… overcoming the thorns… and by so doing, to finally have the seeds of truth fall on good ground (which they did).  Some yielded Fool-beings of the First Magnitude; some yielded Fool-beings of the Second Magnitude; some yielded Fool-beings of the Third Magnitude: and some yielded “Future Sowers of Objective Truth”.

So, that is story of THEDOG.

I repeat, “If you are good seed, and you keep on sowing (even on the hot days) you will finally find good ground”.

Unfortunately, a teacher can never know the yield of the good ground before they sow, there are no dipsticks that can measure the desires of a student.  However, a survey of the ground on which they are about to sow… might indicate (before they sow), which ground has the greatest potential of being “good ground”.

So, the teachers of my teaching try to become good surveyors.  Their only wish is to survey well… because, after all, they only sow on one piece of ground at a time.

Hopefully, we will keep on sowing for a long of time.  That is, until we find enough good ground to where, when we finally stop and look around, that we see schools of THEDOG growing everywhere… Each one filled with conscious, awake folks, who are able to share their reason and impartiality with others.

And, when it is all said and done… we just might change the world.

Imagine a world of conscious people where everyone understands and acts in accordance with the same objective truths.

Sincerely, I Am,

Russell A Smith
THEDOG

PS: May you prove to be the good ground.
