I have spoken to our Lady of Florence over there on several occasions, in the dream state, since she will not hear me any other way. And I have spoken clearly, as indeed is my way. And we have played question and answer games. You know now, I do not have to tell you, that you are not actuating all your abilities. You are not using them to your benefit. Now you are in too many places at once. You do not concentrate on one thing at a time. It will not be too difficult for you to develop your abilities, but it will be difficult for you to learn the self-discipline that is necessary. You can learn self-discipline, and I will be a taskmaster.

Now. Our Lady of Florence, it is true that if you go outward and up you will find an inwardness, but this is not the easiest way to go about it. They also serve who only stand and wait. They serve mightily who serve up copies of the nature of physical matter. The effort, again, is highly appreciated, very highly. But you cannot bribe yourself, much less me. One of these days you will have to look inward. There is no other way, and all ways lead to that way.
