The question is: what does the Outer Circle do for you? There is a view, which has occurred to me, that only on the Inner Circle can a new thing be learnt which tends towards God,* and which therefore survives eternally. I find this hard to believe if it means that all Outer Circle experience is wasted, or simply works towards the destruction of the Self (and the construction [sic] of Man's material culture): is nothing of this to survive? But it is possible, and makes some sense in gender terms: female-ness in its purest form certainly has (or can have) a degree {of} self-less-ness of which male-ness is not easily capable; but the Self in us is what enables Individual physical survival (and, to some extent, psychological identity?) within a separated World.

On the other hand, it is not perhaps wholly contradictory to suggest that after the Death of the Self, something might remain that was learnt during the Outer Circle, particularly bearing in mind the possibility of Gearing**:

(a) that a faint Inner Circle revolution may have occurred at the same time; and

(b) that an Inner Circle*** echo may have accompanied each Outer Circle point – for those with Inner Circle awareness or sympathies.

((c) The other**** aspect of Gearing, which is not dealt with here, is that different revolutions of the Circles may occur in relation to different aspects of the same Individual, at different {but} probably related speeds.#)
