Do you think that when you grow old you will become shriveled and come to nothing? Such is far from the case. Indeed, then as a “nothing,” I speak very loudly. When circumstances permit I shall make myself rather better known in this room... There are certain rules that my friend Ruburt places upon me, one that I hold my voice under control, and so I will endeavor to do so.

You can use your intellect and your emotions. One need not block out the others. The ideas in my material will open up your eyes, your inner eyes. You will begin to look at your universe as you have never looked at it before. The camouflage world is beautiful, but more exists that you do not see. Look where you see nothing with your physical eyes, and you shall find (much?) that will amaze you. Listen where you hear nothing, and you will hear much that will amaze you. Now my friend Ruburt may take a break or end the session as he prefers. I myself am delighted to speak to you. I have been here since you entered the room and I shall be here until you leave it. You know more than you realize, and your own inner knowledge will always propel you to find the answers that you seek... On some occasion I will speak in a less weighty manner. I am [restrained] by the vehicle through which I speak. I do indeed give you the blessings that are mine to give.

Now according to what you have been taught, my friend Ruburt should be mad (crazy) but he is not. According to what you have been told, you are created of physical matter and you cannot escape it, and this is not so. According to what you have been taught, you must disintegrate as you grow old and this is not so. The physical matter of which you are seemingly composed will disintegrate (in physical death) but you will not disintegrate.

I am joyful though there is no physical heart that I have claim to. And I am in this room, though there is no object within which you can place me. And you are not within any object. You are as disembodied as I. You have a vehicle to use, a body that you call your own, and this is all. I borrow Ruburt’s, with his consent, but what I am is not dependent upon atoms or molecules, and what you are is not dependent upon physical matter. Your own consciousness is part of each season. You are not limited by the bones of your skull.

I can enjoy your earthly days when I so choose, and stroll disembodied down your spring streets, and look through Ruburt’s eyes at the winter nights. And when you learn what you must learn, you will be able to look back to the pasts that you have known, and ahead to the days that you will know, for there is no end because there was no beginning. You always have been and you always will be. This is the meaning of existence and joy. The God that is, is within you, for you are a part of All That Is.

My friend Ruburt may take a break or end the session as he prefers. You may think of me as an old man and yet my joy circles this room as a bluebird might fly from corner to corner. And my essence, like air, fills the room as your essence, like air, fills the room.
