(After break, to Sharon.) Now, your parents do not want you to grieve, they have been trying to tell you that they are as alive as you are. I do not want to hurt your feelings but they are more alive than you are. They came to you because they wanted you to question the nature of reality more deeply than you have done so. They will not come for long. They have their own business to attend to and their own reality to meet and their own challenges to accept, but, they are coming to you so that you will be aware of their continued existence; and also so that you will be aware of the nature of your own inner self which is as free of your physical body now as they are.

And again, we will not look at anyone in particular but we can give clues, can we not? We have, therefore, a touch of rebellion. Now, rebellion can be a good thing if you know what you are rebelling against. And if you are rebelling, it behooves you to know what you are rebelling against. It is very important to understand the nature of your own inner self and symbolism behind action. For when you understand the symbolism behind your own actions, then you begin to understand yourselves and you know the reasons behind your actions. And when you act you do not deceive yourselves, you know quite clearly I am acting for thus and thus reasons. Oftentimes you fool yourselves. You think you are acting for a particular reason but the action is for an entirely different reason, and therefore, you must learn why you act as you do.

Now, the inner self knows the answers and often- times the inner self brings you to this error, this action, or this symptom, so that you will look inward. And now look inward and we will have a break.

I will close our session. However, each of you are here because you realize you are shadows of your own true selves. You want to bring into physical actuality the true selves that you know are yours and as long as you have this desire, the desire will find a means to completion. It is only when you lose the desire that you are in deep trouble. There is no reason why, following the material and following your own individual ways, you cannot step out of the shadows of yourselves and become the inner selves that you know that you are. And this is what I expect of each of you, and this is what each of you expect of yourselves. Now, if you have any serious questions, I will answer them.
