I want all of you to become aware of this inner mobility of consciousness. Use it. Now, none of you clearly left your bodies, with one exception; but mentally you detached yourselves to various degrees. You are taking first steps well, but the subjective knowledge must come from within each of you. I cannot give it to you.

Now, so-called occult knowledge dealt with secret knowledge, and it is secret to the extent that every man must discover it for himself and that is the end of the secrecy. But, in one manner of speaking, it cannot be told for you must have your own experience and recognize it. Very briefly this evening some of you dealt with the reality of symbols, and this is extremely important for the physical body that you know is a materialization of symbols that you have created. You do not know the symbols for yourselves but you can discover what they are, and I will expect you all to do so.

Now, what do you suppose Christmas means? The birth of the inner self. Each of you must be reborn, not once, but endless times even in this existence, in this existence as you know it. You break out of yourselves. When you are joyful you break out of yourselves.

The rest (to Gert) of the ghost affair—so you decided to start over and to hide from yourself your earlier errors. You did not have a conscious rapport. It is difficult to start an exam the second time when you knew you failed it the first time around. So you started out with great vigor trying to hide from yourself the fact that you had tried this before. No sense of original sin, however, is implied. This was your interpretation of certain perceptions. It was much easier to believe that you had been kicked out of a garden of paradise than to realize that you ruined it yourselves. Do you follow me?
