No stimuli is ever accidental. No stimuli is ever accidental. I repeat the sentence so you can understand it. You are never controlled. God is creativity and he creates creativity or other creators. Creativity of necessity, because of its nature, leads to further development and existence—to further creations. Control leads to rigidity, nonexistence and the negation of all. In the terms that are usually used, perfection would be death and annihilation, for it presupposes an end beyond which no progress is possible. Creativity always knows that further development always lies latent. New possibilities grow constantly from the heart and spirit. To control is to court rigidity. No God knows the word or the meaning of control, nor does he exert control as far as his abilities are concerned, for it would lead to dead alleys, and spirituality would go and leave him dried up as a fruit pit.

For if you listen inwardly, you can hear the first words spoken upon your planet. You can hear the yawn from Rachel that fills this so quiet room. You can hear the first breath and the last breath that will be breathed in your terms upon this planet. You have only to close your eyes and look inward. You have only to realize that truth is a joyful thing and not to be feared. You have only to realize that all the time is within you now. You have only to close your eyes and see—as now, if all of you are quiet you can feel the cosmic breezes blow through your cheeks, and yesterday flies through your skull like clouds disappearing. You have only to recognize the creativity within yourself. You have only to listen to your creative drive within you. For as surely as you sit and exist in this room, you exist beyond this room. When you go to sleep, you are free.
