shima: Hi, Dr. From this issue we start to cover
James Q&A sessions. How wonderful! We
can read Q&A by the mysterious creator
of WMM. James' answers are philosophical
and sophisticated, and we feel his deep insight.
And at the same time I was surprised at the
great variety of questions coming from all
over the world. I think we readers in WingMakers
Forum performed a significant role to develop
this information structure.
Dr: Yes. The Q&A sessions do provide an
amazing amount of extra information that
help us appreciate both the material and
its Creator, and actually right across the
spectrum of diverse subjects that the WMM
brings up. I was surprised at how even what
appeared to me to be silly or facetious questions
were answered quite seriously leading to
increased understanding. There is no doubt
at all that the readers of the WingMakers
forum and their questions played a very significant
role in helping to develop this entire area
of information.
shima: Although seven years have passed since
this Q&A was released, it does not get
old in informational quality, rather it gives
us a lively tone to our lives today. In the
response to questioners, James gradually
reveals a cosmic teaching organization named
Lyricus. How do you feel about his methodology
of Q&A format for disclosure of information?
Dr: The Q&A sessions relate to spiritual
truths, and the quest for same, as well as
information relating to our unique and apparent
vulnerable position in history. The spiritual
matters covered are timeless and will remain
of interest throughout the centuries until
the distant time that we, as a species meet
and become partners with the WMs.
The feelings of vulnerability relating to
the more cloak and dagger and power plays
or conspiratorial areas are likely to remain
until the "watershed event/s" that
James hints will occur to change the world's
power structure and system, and our whole
perception of ourselves as people within
that structure. While the latter ? and some
of the information contained within the Q&A
sessions ? may only be relevant for this
century and perhaps the beginning of the
next, it is nevertheless of import until
the very ending of the power structure within
our civilization as we know it. So even that
seems somewhat timeless to us, because generally
we do not see beyond the present power structured
system into that which will follow it, though
there is no shortage of those who fantasize,
and nearly always incorrectly, about what
the next "system" (for want of
a better word) will be.
The Q&A format of the Lyricus discourses
representing the platform for introducing
Lyricus and bringing its information to us
is very revealing. Lyricus is a teaching
order, and nearly all teaching systems ?
the old Japanese teaching system being an
interesting near exception ? work through
a question and answer format. Even the old
Japanese system of mere rote learning, however,
which was really memorization rather than
learning since students did little thinking
themselves, would use the Q&A method
to test learning, retention of knowledge
and/or memorization of facts and material.
The transformation is a very personal experience,
which is a major difference between it and
the GP; and personal experience is best conveyed
through personal dialog in which questions
and answers become an essential part. Hence
there has always been personal dialog between
students or seekers and those who have experienced
what the student or seeker seeks, be this
spiritual, mental, or material. While the
Buddha did give discourses he mostly travelled
Q&A is the basis of all our knowledge.
It is true that we may just remember the
knowledge we are given but that knowledge
only exists because someone initially asked
questions and found the answers or knowledge.
No questions; no answers; no knowledge.
It is also why and how I had my transformation.
Because the answers, or knowledge, didn't
exist I had to ask and answer questions for
myself and everyone else in order to find
out what the paintings were saying.
Look at all the things in your room or city,
every one of those things: the desk, pens,
papers, books, language, files, cupboards,
air conditioner, buildings, machines, computer,
and all their ancillary products exist because
someone asked the question of what would
be good to bring into existence and how to
do it, and then they, perhaps assisted by
others, found the answers to those questions.
All knowledge and all civilization is founded
upon answering questions.
The great English writer Rudyard Kipling
once said, and wrote in the forward to one
of his books words to the effect: "I
have six great friends who have taught me
all I know. They are who, why, what, when,
where and how." Questions bring us everything
we know. Every detective thriller somewhere
asks and answers these questions. When they
are answered the crime is solved. Bill Gates
and Warren Buffett became the richest men
in the world by asking and answering questions
and then acting on the answers they had discovered.
There is no field of endeavor that Q&A
does not apply to and it is central to teaching.
A lecture is easily forgotten ? assuming
it's not slept through; but when we actively
engage in questions and answers we remember
because we are conscious of actually learning
something and are active participants. When
aural input is combined with activity ? even
just the activity of a dialog ? we remember
far better than when just listening because
we are discovering for ourselves.
A teacher's function is to teach. S/he then
has a natural tendency to answer questions,
and enjoys the sharing of knowledge, especially
when knowing it will be retained and of benefit.
I am sure this is one reason why James responded
to questions from the WingMakers' forum.
How could he resist those sincere questions
from people hungry to know more? He may have
stopped answering them (or ours from
So to answer your question, shima, I think
it is an excellent way to present the information.
I particularly enjoy the mastery with which
the Lyricus teacher continually questions
the student which guides the student to finding
the answers for himself. Rarely does the
Lyricus teacher just give out answers or
information. When any student, or anybody,
finds answers for himself they really learn
because it is their personal discovery and
not just someone else's facts to be committed
to memory.
shima: Regarding the term Tributary Zone. There
is complementary information on this term
in other sections (e.g. DVD introduction
page), but I think this is an extremely confusing
piece of terminology. Have you ever heard
similar concept like TZ in other source except
WMM? And could you talk about additional
insight to this term, if there is any to
be had?
Dr: I have never come across the actual term
Tributary Zone before, though upon looking
at the phrase we can see it is in English
a very apt term.
The word zone has many meanings: it can relate
to divisions of a planet between the tropics,
the temperate and tropical zones e.g. and
even divisions in the heavens. Probably most
apt to the WMM is definitions 4 and 5 in
Webster's "a region or area set off
or characterized as distinct from surrounding
or adjoining parts" and "one of the sections or divisions of an area or territory created
for a particular purpose".
A tributary is a stream, or vein, feeding
a larger stream, river, or vein. These tributaries
seen from a distance appear as organic lines
like the lines we often find within the WingMakers
paintings and CG sometimes coming to or from
higher realms, as in Chamber 12 painting.
Tributaries lead somewhere bigger or greater
and are part of a vital life support system,
be it life giving water or life giving blood;
or in the case of the WingMakers life enriching
spirit and data streams.
When we look at what Tributary Zones are
we see just how apt this term is. They are
distinct and separate areas, different from
the general localities where they are found,
that serve both humanity and Lyricus a specific
purpose. We are just looking at it, depending
on one's direction of perception, in reverse,
from the greater to the lower.
The planetary Tributary Zone is an area of
spiritual, scientific and informational influence
that is fed from the higher Galactic Tributary
Zone which in turn is fed by the higher Lyricus
Universe Tributary Zone. These are vital,
living zones, of flowing data streams that
house vibrant information and data to nourish,
feed and inspire humanity to greater development
and progress as a species. They are ever
changing and interacting and so different
from a museum where old relics are housed
and just viewed. Here each greater tributary
zone feeds the next stepped-down tributary
zone with the nourishing life support data streams of information and inspiration that flow
eternally to the planets and their populaces.
While in practice only the planets' most
evolved representatives will partake of the
actual data stream content the whole populace
of each planet will actually benefit.
