So do not feel that you are powerless, do not feel that you are at the mercy of events, for you form events not only in this reality, but in these other realities which you do not consciously understand. Each move that you make is not multiplied a million times, not simply multiplied, but it reaches out and changes and alters and affects these other realities and it becomes a new action. It becomes a new action as it approaches and reaches other realities, and it in turn initiates action. For it will meet with responses, and these responses will be different. There is nothing that goes on in this room when you are here that goes on in this room alone. These meetings occur in this room, but they also occur in other realities, and when you come here to this class you are also attending a class on another level, and you are not aware of those classes, though I am aware of them. I am very aware of them, for while our friend Ruburt gives this class, I have been giving other classes and you have all been there. Education takes place on many levels.

In your terms, you are hanging out in space with nothing to support you and our friend here would be terrified of falling. You know that the physical floor does not support you, but you must pretend that the physical floor supports you or you would be dizzier than you are. So also at this moment in other realities do you sit, replicas of yourselves in other rooms and in other classes. And each moment as you know it, with this activity as you know it, exists in other realities, and you are a portion of these realities and you affect them. As you go out and speak to others now, and change them, so on other levels do you do the same, and so indeed are you also changed and affected.

You could call me a transplant. My heart would not do anyone much good, however, for you could not find it. There are many reasons, and all highly individual reasons, why various people choose different methods of death. There is no one reason, there is no one answer to any such question. There will be, however, a characteristic way of dying that will be adapted by different personalities. The ego may be strong enough to hold the whole personality back. The earthly temperament may simply hold on. The inner self in many instances will go ahead and wait.

Bega is doing well in his classes, and you are doing well in these classes. You are all developing and growing, whether or not you are consciously aware of it, and when you gather together there are beneficial developments that you do not understand, and that I am not prepared to explain to you this evening, for it would take too much of your time. There is, however, a pooling of inner knowledge that is highly helpful to all of you. I do not expect you to drown in that pool, for I have taught you how to swim, you see. And take care that you look out of the windows now and then, lest you all go sailing past West Water Street.
Jewel and I will polish you up. Now, all you need do is imagine I am speaking to you and you will go to sleep nights, since I seem to have that effect upon you in class. I am not a sandman. In case you are curious, in your particular case there is a relaxation of the nervous system that occurs, but not because of my melodious tones, I will note, but indeed my voice can travel as far as the onions [sic!].
I did not say good evening to you, and so I now do so. I give you again what blessings are mine to give and I will return to classes often. And often when you do not expect me.
