Now I ring the bell—and I will clear up a slight issue that has come to my attention. Your teacher, your immediate teacher, has had strong creative abilities and he was very jealous as to how they should be used. He would set the conditions. He would use them in such and such a manner and no other. Now you should realize that this endeavor is indeed a highly creative one, for you have here at the least, at the very least, two personalities, my own and Ruburt’s, and we dwell entirely (in) different dimensions. And the mode of communication must be set up between us if what I want to say will be said.
Now you hear the words, but I am behind the words and highly creative activities must go on on both our parts, so that my thoughts can be translated into words that will make meaning and sense to you. I must transform certain mechanisms within Ruburt’s physical mechanisms. I must play upon them as a painter plays with color or a musician plays with notes and keys, and he (Ruburt) must acquiesce and join in this creative activity. Then in his books he must further use his creative ability to translate what I have said. We use Ruburt’s nervous mechanism and we change it creatively, as to a lesser extent we hope to change you all creatively.

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.
Now I give you all again those blessings that are mine to give, and I am here with you very clearly this evening so that you should be able rather vividly to sense my reality, and in sensing my reality to sense that greater reality of your own. So though I say good evening to you now, I will visit again with you whether or not you remember, for a portion of you will know, and the portion of you never forgets such encounters.
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.
