Now I come to you often with playful characteristics—like a benign bishop who comes for a cup of tea and discusses realities with you. I come complete with characteristics that you can understand. I come complete with human characteristics to which you can relate and you can smile usually when I am here and smile when I am gone. But you must understand that they are the characteristics that I show you—there are other realities of personality and identity that are mine—just as there are other realities within your own personalities and you cannot laugh these away. You are but symbols of yourselves. I can tell you how to meet your own identities, and I have told you, but no one can make you look into yourselves. I can look within you and beyond you into the selves that you really are. I can see your potentials and your abilities and your promise—and you could see your own potentials and promise if you would open your inner eyes, if you would look within yourselves.

Each consciousness, regardless of its physical form, is filled with creativity and joy and possibilities—each is unique. You are at a certain level of development or you would not be here. Because you are at this level of development, you are ready and able to use your abilities more. You are able to look within yourselves. There is nothing stopping you but you. And it is for this reason that I speak severely with you this evening.

(Brad) You have no idea of the discovery that is possible for you. You can change your physical existence as you know it. And you can do it tomorrow morning. You have the ability to do this. Until you realize that you have this ability, you are powerless. When you realize and accept the fact that you form your physical reality, you can change it instantly—and that is your freedom. I cannot give it to you, but you can take it and I challenge you to do so. It is yours for the taking—freedom of action—it is yours, accept it. It brings with it not only responsibility, but joy such as you have never known. It is yours in this instant—you have only to accept it.

Now, imagine this: Within you, there are sounds, colors, sights that stretch backward into infinity. Your faces face this room, your eyes look out upon physical reality. Imagine, however, that you have innumerable faces, for our analogy. And that these faces look out into other realities quite as varied and quite as real. For this is indeed the cause. You can close your physical eyes and focus upon these other realities in which you also have your existence. And you can learn to manipulate in physical reality the better, because you understand your full potential. I challenge you to use all of your abilities and all of your senses. I challenge you to open your inner eyes, to use your minds, to use your inner intuitions. I challenge you to be yourselves and it is the greatest challenge that could be given you, and it is the only way that you will learn.

There is a purpose for each one of you. It is your own purpose and it is up to you to fulfill it, and it necessitates the full use of all your abilities—your mental abilities—and your intuitional abilities. You must demand the most of yourselves, for some of you will be involved later in asking others to demand the most of themselves and you must serve as examples. You (Florence) are meant to teach other classes, but you must develop you own abilities to do so.
