([Theodore:] “About problems, I’m wondering whether to make a distinction between a problem which is a personal thing in nature that we must solve on our own, and a problem that is not so personally oriented but community oriented where the decision you have affects someone else and can be a wrong solution. And doesn’t affect you personally, necessarily.”)

Now, I speak jokingly to you, telling you that I am the origin of the material, and therefore you must listen to it and study it. The fact remains that I am also a channel through which this information comes to you. And as yet you have little idea of its significance and meaning, not only to you personally. It makes little difference that I transmit it and that Ruburt receives it. The material itself, however, is the important issue here. I receive it and interpret it from our sources, as I have told my friends. Ruburt has always been cautious here, for when I tell him of the significance of the material, then he wonders about the aspect of his own personality. But I tell you and I tell you frankly that the personality by which I show myself to you is but a small aspect of my whole personality. And that personality is not cold. You simply do not understand it, therefore I come to you in terms that you can understand, and these characteristics of mine that seem so cozy are to some extent devious. They are my characteristics as I am, but also as I was. For I am no longer what I was.
What the material tells you about the nature of your own reality is the closest you can come now to an approximation of the truth. No one, not even I, can hand you proof on a golden platter. You must understand what it is. Our beloved monster here (the cat) intuitively knows what is involved, and you know intuitively, but we want you to understand consciously.
