.... your unity. And to feel your unity with All That Is—and know you are a part of it. You should have known that you could not escape my ceremony—and my ceremony is a ceremony of the skies and trees—and even of the grass. My ceremony is a ceremony that does not need ceremony —for it speaks through all seasons and it rises and it speaks through you. And as you sit here now so you have existed many times. And the ceremony is not new. Autumns and springs are not new. You sit here with new youth and new vitality—new, but ancient—for there is no newness that does not have an ancient heritage. You will walk down many alleyways and many front avenues, and so you have and so you will again, but in this life you will walk them together, as you knew you would. And you knew you would meet here and that I would speak to you here, and there is no beauty that you imagine that is not possible. The dreams that you have will come to pass but beware of the fears—for fears also come to pass—rip them out. The joys must be forever new—for they are new with an ancient heritage.

Spontaneity has its own discipline. You do not need to enforce discipline upon it. You need not enforce discipline upon it. Pretend that the bony tissue of your skulls does not exist. And let the energy of All That Is flow through you as indiscriminatelyas clouds through the skies. Do not say, “I will accept this and I will deny this.” The knowledge that is within yourselves knows. You do not have to fear the spontaneous. You do not need to fear that if you allow yourselves freedom you will travel into evil ways. Conscious restraints can lead you into avenues of denial. But the inner selves, knowing their position within All That Is, do not fear denial. What appears to you as evil is a result of your own ignorance. There is purpose in all things. In your spontaneity then, never forget the sacred uniqueness of a shadow upon a road, the shape of a leaf, the stain upon a coffee cup—in these simple things find a hint of your own uniqueness and travel beyond them—and ignore conscious restraint that would bind you. Let the inner intuitive sense speak for it is the inner voice, and the magic that unites you has no need of conscious words.
