Now, I have treated you all very gently in class, and I have used simple language, and I have explained things easily and coddled you, Now, 1 want you to study the material that you have. It is not difficult. You are simply not used to directing your intellects toward philosophical material and then applying it to yourselves and to your lives. This is not my fault, it is your own.
Now, I have been, in many ways, a sly and cunning teacher, for the material is given in such a way that as you read it and use your intellect and intuitions to understand it, you automatically develop both your intuitions and your intellect and expand the nature of your own consciousness, though part of the training of consciousness itself is in the body of the material as it exists. To the extent that you extend yourselves, your abilities will automatically be developed, as you read and study the material. There are many books and there are many teachers and there are many ways. Some of it is simple but they are quite necessary to those at a certain level of development. If those ways were sufficient to you, that is where you would be. You have become dissatisfied with those ways, but in becoming dissatisfied you must also extend yourselves to learn new methods of perceptions, and you must expand your consciousness.
Now, if you follow the material, this automatically will happen. There is more in the material then, than what is there, and you will discover what else is there as you study the material, because of itself it will lead you into inner journeys that are your own. It will form a framework, and from this framework you can reach out into other realities while also keeping your footing here, and in reaching the life that you now know. There are, in other words, much in the material, impetus points that will send you into other realities if you allow them to and yet within the material there is always a framework to which you can return (to Rachel) as our friend returns.
