In the past, with few exceptions, attempts have been made to change the external situation. I have told you that if you look around you and do not like the world that you see, then it is yourselves individually and en masse that you must change. For this is the only way that change will be effected. And if your generation or any generation would ever effect a change—this is the only way change will be effected.
What I am telling you has been told throughout the centuries and the people have not listened. It is up to you now (Sue and Ned) whether or not you listen. It is wrong to curse a flower, and it is wrong to curse any man. And it is wrong not to hold any man in honor and it is wrong to ridicule any man. You honor yourselves. You see within yourselves the spirit of eternal vitality, and you honor it and you treat yourselves in that manner as gods. If you do not do this, then you destroy all that you touch. And you honor each other individual also, because in him is the spark of eternal vitality.
When you curse another you curse yourselves and the curse comes back to you. When you are violent for any cause, the violence returns. For that which you send out and that which you give you also receive. There is no other way. There has never been any other way. The laws are old and ancient.
