Witnesses · Devoted; self-caveated
Tom Pfeiffer
Among the first analysts the founder certified, and a friend of some twenty years; the keeper of the wildest first-circle lore.
Relationship to the founder
Pfeiffer belongs to the founder’s first certified circle and stayed near him for two decades. His recorded 2021 interview is the principal source for a set of stories that circulate nowhere else, and he supplies his own weighing of them, on tape, in one sentence.
What they say
“Ninety percent of the stories I tell you are true and the others are really interesting.” The line is the witness problem of the whole record stated by a witness, and everything below is reported under its terms.
The stories: a Ra who spent two years in a chair in a tree screaming at the sky; a briefcase Pfeiffer carried because, in the telling, the transmission had left the man too weak to carry it; a second, earlier recipient of a voice on the neighboring island of Formentera; and a founder who, when students imitated his cadence, would erupt, “I’m not your goddamn guru. Don’t you dare imitate me. Speak with your own voice,” with an obscenity to close it. (Recorded interview, The HUB27, 2021.)
How the account is weighed
Interest: Devoted; self-caveated First-circle lore, already becoming myth within the founder’s own lifetime, from a teller who says so himself. Nothing in his account is adopted as fact; the dossier is framed, as the book frames it, by his own ninety percent caveat. What the testimony documents reliably is the mythmaking itself, and the founder’s recorded hostility to imitation, which the loyal and the estranged witnesses report alike.
