Knowledge does not exist without consciousness. There is no ideal knowledge that can be to given you that exists independently of consciousness. Consciousness knows. There is not an inert ideal thing called knowledge that you can drink up. I am a consciousness, and what you should know I try to tell you, and I try to teach you. But there are no records, despite any of your readings. There are no records, no bodies of knowledge that exist independently of consciousness. There are no records in the sky to be read. There are personalities who have knowledge that you do not yet realize you know. And they can tell you what they know to the best of their ability, as I do.

And work out the relationship that exists in your immediate families. And both of you will. And learn the significance—the meaning behind the fact that your daughter and your sister are approximately the same age, and you will. They choose that relationship.
