[...] [Theodore:] “My interpretation of what he said is that (1) good health is a natural part of ourselves, and so we should naturally desire it, and (2) good health in itself is not the objective at all. It is what you can do when you are in a state of good health. [...] We project ourselves ahead mentally to vocational status we are interested in, and by doing that, accomplish it. It is not the status itself that is the end. It is what we are able to do through it, that we should really be aiming at.”

[...] You are working toward this ideal, and the ideal is—and you will achieve it—to use all your abilities, all of your capabilities—and in doing this, you will help others automatically. [...] And you will add to the creativity of All That Is and I said that you would add to it. This is for you, for the anticipated argument that you will think of (to Florence). [...]

If I could sing that beautifully, I would sing for you through our classes. [...] I simply wanted you to know that I was here and I did have a specific message that I wanted to deliver to our friend (Brad) on this side. [...] I wish you all well. [...] Some evening I will keep you until two o’clock in the morning just so you can say that I have done it. But you would not bless me the following morning—of that I am sure. [...]

[...] When you understand that completely and fully, you will no longer be within physical reality. But that is of little notice. [...] In any reality, you create the image that you see. And the reality that follows this one will seem as physical to you as this—and as real. But you will have freedoms within it that you do not have now—not unless at 8 o’clock in the morning you leap from the rooftops and fly through the windows to your death. [...]

When you are certain that you feel at least reasonably secure, where you are, then we shall take you to where you are not and you will find yourself. [...] For in the back of your mind you will think: If I do not feel secure in physical reality, then why should I feel secure here—and you will not have the daring that is necessary, nor will you have the peace of mind—and the peace of mind is the key to the door. [...]

([Theodore:] “But to want good health or position just for the sake of that is not the end of the line. That, you are saying, is just the beginning of...”)

([Theodore: ]“But the point is—I guess the question I’m asking is: Am I really more interested in the certain possibilities of status, and that would not be the positive way of looking at things—or should I be seeing that man within a framework of, just as we were talking about health as just being a stepping stone, should I be seeing this man with a viewpoint towards what this can mean for helping other people be part of a constructive arrangement?”)

There are other ways to travel, and we will see that you learn of them. There are other fascinations and foreign countries upon your planet, but it is good that you learn of those also. We will get you used to the idea of foreign lands and then we will teach you to travel into lands that are really foreign—and we will give you an idea of the vocabulary used—and it will not be as simple as “good morning” and “good evening” or “where can I find a can of beans?”

...to solve your problems and triumph over your challenges—and the impetus is this: You must not journey into inner reality until you feel secure in physical reality—for you cannot live in two worlds at once unless you are secure in one. You need a firm groundwork—a groundwork that you can trust. [...] Now there is no better reason to solve your problems. [...]

([Theodore:] “But between the time of thinking about it now and the time it becomes a reality, other thoughts can come to bear on that idea and change it before it becomes a reality. Is that so?”)
