I consider George Gurdjieff the "father" of my outlook towards self realization; before I came across his methods in my late teens I had already looked in a number of places that required a bit too much to be taken on faith or swallowed entire, all or nothing. Gurdjieff taught the fourth way, the way of the sly fox. One takes what one can use from whatever source.

I first heard of the Wingmakers material in 1998, gave one of the interviews a perfunctory look, and dismissed it as another of the alien contact accounts the likes of which I had read often before. Then in the summer of 2000 an old friend handed me a hardcopy printout of the interviews and supporting material from the site, saying they thought I might find it interesting. I started reading it and began to understand the story for the first time, though I didn't find it convincing or see any need to believe it or disbelieve it. I found it entertaining but not greatly so, until I came to the Life Principles of the Sovereign Integral. That got my attention, and has held it ever since:

"The entity model of expression is designed to explore new fields of vibration through biological instruments and transform through this process of discovery to a new level of understanding and expression as a Sovereign Integral. The Sovereign Integral is the fullest expression of the entity model within the time/space universes, and most closely exemplifies Source Intelligence's capabilities therein. It is also the natural state of existence of the entity that has transformed beyond the the evolution/saviorship model of existence and has removed itself from the controlling aspects of the Hierarchy through the complete activation of its embedded Source Codes. This is the level of capability that was "seeded" within the entity model of expression when it was initially conceived by Prime Creator........

The transformational experience is the realization that the entity model of expression is capable of direct access to Source Intelligence information, and that the information of Prime Creator is discovered within the entity level of the Sovereign Integral. In other words, the human instrument, complete with its biological, emotional, and mental capabilities, is not the repository of the entity's Source Codes........

....... Source Reality and sovereign reality become inseparable as wind and air. This confluence is realized only through the transformational experience, which is unlike anything known within the time-space universes.

There have been those upon terra-earth who have experienced a shallow breath of wind from this powerful tempest. Some have called it ascension, others have attributed names like illumination, vision, enlightenment, nirvana, and cosmic consciousness. While these experiences are profound in human standards, they are only the initial stirrings of the Sovereign Integral........What most species define as the ultimate bliss is merely the impression of the Sovereign Integral whispering to its outposts of form.....

The transformational experience is far beyond the calibration of the human drama much like the stars in the sky are beyond the touch of terra-earth."

What was this?? This was not anything I had been exposed to before:

transformed beyond the the evolution/saviorship model of existence?

removed itself from the controlling aspects of the Hierarchy?

the complete activation of its embedded Source Codes?

No evolution or savior needed? No Hierarchy either? And the human instrument is not the repository of what Source Codes?

This was new. This was very new. In 2000 I was 48 years old. I had read and studied hard; attended, for years, an esoteric school that imposed harsh disciplines; opened and experienced the seven seals, wandered alone in the wilderness, taken all of the plants and drugs to experience alternate doors of perception. I had never come across these concepts before.

The daring! The nerve of making the claim that the highest spiritual experiences of humanity were merely a shallow breath of wind! That one could move beyond the control of the spiritual Hierarchy! Heresy was what it was, and it charmed this born heretic to his toes. This was not your grandmother's enlightenment.

Reading further, the heresy became, well, even more heretical, culminating in this outrageous equation:

Entity + Source Intelligence = Prime Creator equality.

Already this is too long a post. I'll end it with the observation that there is much, much more to the WingMakers than the criticisms being leveled here so far. What do you know of the transformation of body consciousness that happens through dancing to the music of seven chambers? Where are these Source Codes embedded if they are not embedded in the human instrument? How is the tone/vibration of equality perceived and in what direction is its source?
