And I thought you were on your good behavior because I was here. I will have to learn to be a reverend rock drummer—and I will keep the beat with you.

You must understand the nature of reality before you can manipulate within it intelligently and well. In this environment and in physical reality, you are learning—you are supposed to be learning—that your thoughts have reality and that you create the reality that you know. When you leave this dimension, then you concentrate upon the knowledge that you have gained. If you still do not realize that you create the reality that you know, then you return and again you learn to manipulate and again and again you see the results of your own inner reality as you meet it objectified. You teach yourself the lesson until you have learned it.

And when you have learned it, then you have begun to learn how to handle the consciousness that is yours intelligently and well. And then you can form images for the benefit of others and lead them and guide them. And then you can continue, you can continue to enlarge the scope of your understanding and consciousness—and as you do this, you take on a more conscious awareness of your responsibility. And your responsibility is not difficult to understand.

You. If you are very tired, then you rest. If you are wise, you take time to digest your knowledge and to plan your next life even, you see, as a writer plans a next book. If you have too many ties with this reality and if you are too impatient, and if you have not learned sufficiently, then you may return too quickly.

Now. I have been, in my many pasts, an intellectual gentleman and a frivolous female. And yet I will tell you, that as a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality—I was not burdened with intellect—and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences.
