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 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.

You can learn self-discipline, and I will be a taskmaster.

It is only because I am so aware of the reality of time to you that I leave now, for I realize that your hour is late. But time is as transparent as the air in this room and your 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 o’clock flies through the air like birds. I speak to you all individually and individually you all know me, so while you all hear the same words individually they mean something different to each of you.
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.
