Now I am coming to you briefly for a very simple reason—to let you know you are indeed welcome here and that you do not bother our friend Ruburt. He is less easily bothered of late in any case. We have not had a session while you have been here, and I did not want you to think that I had anything against you, you know. I will not interfere, for I know you have some business with your table to attend to. I simply wanted you to know that I was here, as I said I would be.

Now, I will consider the situation in which you are involved (pointing to Florence), and we shall discuss it at a session as soon as possible. There is indeed a complication arising in part from past-life connections, but also in the early background of the woman involved. The problem must be worked out by her, and she must find the support within herself, you see. She is not considering others but only herself, but from the torment within herself she is projecting the situation. There is advice that will help her and I will go into the situation more thoroughly in a regular session. I will also go into another matter of which you have spoken, and it was I indeed who gave Ruburt the insight today into a certain aspect of that problem.

Now I will let you get on with your class, and if I do not come through like the voice of spring you must forgive me. I enjoy being here. I quite intend to attend your classes. I shall see what a good teacher your Ruburt is, and I shall correct him if he makes errors.

I am in the position of teaching Ruburt and Joseph, and their responsibility is to teach others. They could accept this situation or not. The choice was up to them. Their own development however would not be as complete had they chosen to ignore the responsibility. They know me and they have known me well in past lives, you see, so I was not the stranger to them that they thought I was. This is their last reincarnation, and I tell you it is much easier to solve your problems now than to solve them later, and they are solving theirs now. And in solving theirs, they are helping others also.

Ruburt has always had a difficulty—if he will forgive me—in integrating the various abilities that are his. He was either so intellectual that you could not understand him when he spoke or so intuitive that you could not understand him when he spoke. The duty he imposed upon himself this time was to integrate these two strong aspects of himself, and he has had his difficulties in doing so. We have known each other many times, Ruburt and Joseph and I.

Out of the goodness of my invisible heart, I will let our friend Ruburt rest, but be assured that I am not some general mass of invisible protoplasm, you see. I am myself and I shall always be myself and I am aware of you as you are and there can indeed be a give and take between us. For again, I have been where you are, and where I am, dear friends, so shall you one day be!!

Now, Ruburt’s eyes work much better when I am in control of them. I see each of you now with Ruburt’s eyes closed as you have been in past reincarnations and as you will be. And with Ruburt’s eyes closed there is some difficulty for I must focus psychically in order to find you as you think you are now, for I see all of you. I see all of what you are. But it is difficult for me, with Ruburt’s eyes closed, for me to see you as you imagine yourself to be at this particular point in space and time. With Ruburt’s eyes open, I can see you as he sees you as a particular personality in this particular space and time and then, you see, I can place you within your own development.

Now briefly, we will continue while Ruburt learns how to manipulate his controls. In dreams you communicate with your own past lives. In dreams you often know who you have been. In dreams you often realize what you have learned. In dreams you restate your challenges and problems. In waking reality, subconsciously you manipulate atoms and molecules so that they result in physical images that appear to you as permanent. They are not permanent. The atoms and molecules as you know, constantly change. But they retain enough semblance of permanency so that you can rely upon their position in space, their size and weight and their depth and physical dimension. You can agree as to their placement in space.

The responsibility for your life and your world is indeed yours. It has not been forced upon you by some outside agency. You form your own dreams and you form your own physical reality. I told Ruburt today that God has given you the greatest of all gifts and the most awesome. He has given you what you want. The world is what you want as individuals and as races. The world is what you are. You look at the state of the world and you find the physical materialization of the inner selves which have formed it. You look at nature and you find the joy that is within you that you have also formed outward. You look at the good and it is a reflection of the good that is within you, within each individual person, multiplied outward millions of times for each individual within the planet. And there is no man that hates but that hatred is reflected outward and made physical. And there is no man that loves but that that love is not reflected outward and made physical.

We were, indeed. Our slight friend Ruburt here was indeed upon occasion, a rather lecherous old fellow, and I was a saintly type. I was, forgive me, his mother. Now I am attempting to set up here with you a personal contact, not for myself but for you.

Now, Ruburt and I banter, we banter back and forth and I am a rare one and he is a rare one, but all of this is based on spiritual understanding and on peace, and joy do you have. You may cough. Have a good one. Do you have any idea of the energy it takes for me to speak to you in terms like this or the degree of manipulation which Ruburt needs and I need? For indeed I have no wish to burst his lungs apart. Yet I tell you that this bit of energy is minute and nothing in comparison to the energy that is within each of you now and that you are not using. The energy that you are not using and the abilities that are yours.

Now, my friend Ruburt has sent me certain signals—they say the voice is too loud, the neighbors will complain. He is most possibly correct. I will therefore leave you, but I remember you, and you shall remember my words. I have, after all, not come here for nothing.
