I welcome back our world traveler, and when you are a space and time traveler as well, then I shall also welcome you back. You all travel far beyond the confines of the world that you think you know, and you waken in the morning with little memory of where you have been. And here we have a traveler indeed, for you travel further than most, but you do not want to remember. That is perfectly all right, you go where you go and you travel where you travel, and if you want to tear your tickets up in the morning and forget where you have been, that is your own privilege.
(To Theodore) We know of course this Bega—and he is trained to do a fairly decent job with you and you are a fairly good student. You must learn, however, to forget the world that you know physically. When you are working with Bega you must try to let down and forget your physical data, for you do not know him well enough yet. You do not let him come through clearly enough. But he shall in time, and you will recognize the difference.

I will let our friend take a rest. Your thoughts buzz about like a bee (rings bell). Now you may take a rest and then I shall call the class to order (ringing bell), and my kind of order...

There is energy within her that is given gladly and is used by the entire physical family. As long as she is certain of your loyalty and support, then she is a firm foundation upon which you may all build. Now, there is something here upon which I shall not dwell in class. —The wine is not as good as the brandy! —However, I will say here that large portions of her energy are diverted to provide supportive help physically for all members of the family. She is not religiously inclined in your terms because she does not need religion in those terms. She is intuitively aware of her position with All That Is, and she does not need to rationalize it.

All right now, I will fix all of you. I will say good evening to you now, but I will continue what I have to say when you go to sleep this evening. I will continue my dissertation, for I had one planned. If you will not listen to me when you are awake because it is too late, then I shall be like a recording machine so that you learn while you sleep. I may indeed take care of you (to Theodore). Joking aside, I will speak to those now here this evening while you sleep, and you may ask me what questions you have. You may or may not remember. Over that I have no control, and it goes without saying that you can listen or not. I will not force, and would not force, myself upon you. But you are not sufficiently impressed with the reality of your existence within the dream state. You still do not realize its significance. You still do not realize the potential that you have and that you use in the dream state, and that you do not use ordinarily in your waking life. Now when I speak to you, you may remember me, but you may very well see me as you think I am.

I give you then my heartiest good wishes, and we shall continue our discussion when you have gone beddy-bye. Instead of visions of sugar plums I shall dance within your heads! Now, I am quite prepared to continue quite as I am now with you here for some time. It is only out of the goodness of my invisible heart and my sympathy and understanding for your human conditions that I hereby say, temporarily, good evening.
