Partners?
RJ Stewart asserts that I was only a beginning student and was not a teaching partner or equal contributor to the work.The evidence says different....How about a bit of honesty RJ??
Statements from RJ about the working relationship
"............would like to contribute my input to this discussion about teachers and
students, from the perspective of almost 20 years of teaching esoteric
subjects, and more specifically the last 11 years working in the UK and USA,
and the 8 years of working with my partner Josephine.
Firstly, I find that working with a partner is better than working as a sole
teacher. My experiences working with Josephine have confirmed this
substantially, and we encourage our newly trained teachers to work in pairs
as much as possible (the pair can be male/male, female/female, male/female,
aardvark/gerbil). There can be no doubt that of the major developments in our work as a result of partners working together, and I am very fortunate to have such a powerful and committed partner to work with" - RJ Stewart Aug 1999

Flyers recently handed to me by a concerned ex magical worker - showing my equal participation as a co presenter/teacher in a wide variety of magical workshops, including Priests and Priestess training, from 1995, 1996, 1998
From another email from RJ Stewart to the RJ and J discussion list:Sat, 2 May 1998 00:14:37 EDT
"Teachings are often but not always copyright. in workshops I always state
clearly that we are working with contemporary ( new) methods of changing
consciousness, many of which have been developed especially for our work. Thus
Josephine and I have a strict responsibility concerning who uses these
methods/ teachings to teach others. I worked from 1969 to 1988 before I
began teaching workshops and although many of the techniques were developed
in the late 70`s and early 80`s in the UK,
many more were developed in the last 5yrs by Josephine and myself in the USA."
He clearly states, in his own words, that the work has been developed jointly since 1993
And on page 3 of the email (below) from Rj Stewart to the discussion list (1999):
."........ I prefer to think
of liberating people who work together with us, often working within the
interaction of my partnership with Josephine, even when she may not be
present. .......
The old magical and spiritual traditions have inherently liberating powers
within them: ........
.........This has been highlighted for us in the training of our teachers over the
last 18 months, something that would not have arisen at this time without the
partnership between Josephine and myself".

And here is a page from the legal documents for the founding of the Aroz Institute, a 501(c)3 org created for the purpose of developing the Inner Temples and related works. Note : "Training teachers in the
methods developed by RJ and Josephine Stewart, and their associates, in
new and ongoing work since 1993."
And here is a copy of our 2000 teaching calendar.... so as you can see from all the presented documents (not statements by friends) I was actively teaching and developing the work; the evidence on this site lists my activities with the work from 1993 onwards up to 2000. After that I taught on my own from 2000 to present day.
