Correspondence from Jane Wolfe to Karl Germer
[21 November 1952]
I take it you have stepped into the shoes of A.C., and therefore have become the Hierophant. I learned to know somewhat of this individual, and felt that He operated at times without the knowledge of A.C. Indeed, A.C. acknowledged this. This Lesson of Betrayal is no doubt a part of your duties—and privileges. I was interested to learn in these Gurdjieff [George Gurdjieff] and Ouspensky books that they provided a centre at intervals, usually outside of a city where students took on various labors; and this with the stated purpose of putting together such students as got on each other's nerves, for only in friction is growth. But this regime, of course, for a stated term.
