Now, I wish you all a good evening and I am going to be here to see how you do.

See (to Theodore) how that makes you spontaneous. Another brief word, however. There is an old, unfortunate idea, and I am sure by now you are above it and it is, that in order to be pious you must work very hard and be extremely dignified. And the harder you work and the harder it becomes, the more sure you are that to be pious must be a great thing. So if you have not dismissed the idea then at least kick it about a bit.

Now, I will let you get on with your experiments. I am waiting to see how you do, and Ruburt will be mad at me because he will say that you will not be spontaneous if you know I am around and, you see, you must prove him wrong. If I can be so spontaneous and dead these many years, then I fail to see why you would have any difficulty! Have fun. The gods have fun, and if you listen you can hear their laughter.

I am thinking of you (to Natalie). You have worked so hard recording our sessions.

Now, I try to show you all, whenever we have a session, that what you are seeing and hearing is a demonstration of the nature of human personality. And you all have human personalities, so therefore the abilities that are shown in this room are examples of the abilities that you have within yourselves waiting to be developed. I am referring here to many things. I am referring, in the main however, to a deep feeling of oneness with other human beings. The ability to open yourselves up enough so that you can bear to understand the reality of another individual. The more terrified you are personally, the less you dare let down your guard, and you build up psychological walls to protect you. You shove aside the problems of others because they simply remind you of your own. Now, using psychological time and learning to be spontaneous, you can free these abilities within yourself. It will not be an intellectual matter of thinking that you are a part of All That Is. It will, instead, be an emotional awareness of that relationship.
