Now I bless you, but the blessings must come from yourselves. The real blessings must come from yourselves. You must realize that you are one with All That Is, and within you is the only one who can give blessings, and you must be willing to accept the blessing that only you can give, and the joy that only you can give to yourselves and to one another.
There should never be a word in any language that means repentance. There should only be a word that means, “I bless,” for when you bless you do not need to repent. And when you accept a blessing, you do not need to repent. For when you realize how to accept a blessing, there is nothing to repent. Love of All That Is requires simply that you become open as air, for when you are open as air then the joy of All That Is flows through you indiscriminately, and there is nothing to repent. You only need repentance when you do not know joy. For within joy and within All That Is there is only glory that is only consciousness and song. There is only blessedness.

I did not come through purposely lately because I do not want you to take it for granted that I will speak at each class. You do not work as hard. Now if Ruburt’s eyesight is poor, there is nothing wrong with mine. And when I speak at class, as I have told you often, I have a purpose. And my purpose is to remind you that the vitality and meaning of existence is within you. And that the energy within this room is available to you. And when I come pussyfooting into this room, it is also to remind you that there is peace within you—expect it and look for it—it is there. And peace is not a dead thing. Peace rings with the vitality of the universe. And it sings throughout your blood and it is a part of All That Is. Then relax and accept it—and remember, I have lived many physical lives as you are living physical lives now. And I have survived in good and hearty fashion—and so will you. And with your intellect and with your reason, and even I, as bothmale and female, have been married without ceremony and with ceremony and the true marriage has nothing to do with ceremony of that kind. The true meeting is a spiritual meeting and can be expressed in many ways...and a flower exists in a field whether a minister blesses it or not—for it is a part of All That Is and, therefore within it, it carries its own blessing and its own meaning.
