My vitality is no more—no more than your own. I come to you from a long way. But the essence of yourself is not of this place nor of this time. Now, I could keep up a demonstration such as this for hours, if only to let you realize that this is your own energy—that the energy that I show is your own—you have this energy and this vitality.

And this part that you see and that appears in this room and can show joy, and show its existence and reality; that can call to you beyond space and time; that shows such energy; that shows you what energy can blow through such a small and slight frame—that self is a small part of my reality. For some time yet, you will need its familiarity. And you will need the human characteristics that you know—and that were mine—and they are still mine, for this self of mine that I show to you does still exist and grow. But beyond that self, there is another self, and still another self of which I am fully aware. And that self can see through physical reality. And to that self, physical reality is like a breath of smoke in the air and that self does not need the characteristics that you know and find so endearing. And yet, it is not an unemotional self; it is a self that has condensed emotions and it is not distant.
