You must look into the face of vulnerability to find joy. You cannot find a joy unless you accept vulnerability. Even the gods know vulnerability—and that is why they live. And because I have known vulnerability, I am still alive. I give you then all the peace and joy that you can hold. But you cannot hold peace and joy like a stone in your hand. For it goes through you and out into others.

You need know—you need know nothing—you need know nothing in intellectual terms. You know all behind words, and in parts of you that are beyond speech. You do not need words. You do not need my words—but I speak them. I speak the words so you will realize you do not need them. And looking at you now, it is not that I see through you—it is that I see the yous that you do not realize you are. So lo—your joy and peace—and let it be with you in the old ways of these days, realizing that these days are always—and yet that there are more days than these, and other times and other places. And so peace and joy be with you in all days.

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.
