Can a Cadillac Love a Ford?


Man is a machine. As Vernon Howard said, “How can a Cadillac love a Ford?” Until you study your every move, you will fight this truth. Once you begin to study how you and everyone else act, you understand this is a fact. Only knowing you are a machine can lift you into the “I am” awareness that Jesus taught his disciples.

I have to know how powerless I am in the face of other people. I have to know how frightened I am of their negativity towards me. And sleeping people are negative people.

The Work calls this “Man A studying Man B.” (The observer noticing how mechanical the ego is in its reactions to life.) And life is whatever situations you find yourself in. Vernon said, “There is no difference in a person and his life.”

I have been doing this inner work for many years now. Seemingly, little progress is ever made. But the essential man (or woman) is who is doing the work. Not the machine being observed.

Begin on the physical level. Watch how you snack to self-medicate. Watch how you play false in social conversations. Watch how angry you get when the slightest thing doesn’t go your way. This is true esoteric Christianity in action.

Everything in the New Testament is esoteric Christianity, which is not just for Christians. It is for anyone seeking to wake up from the dream that you can do anything without higher consciousness watching you. Oh, yes. It has always watched over you. But now you have realized that you must cooperate with it. This is a great mystery. Nothing worth its salt comes without a great price on it. That would be your self-love….
