(To Mary Ellen.) You knew what the message would be before you came here on a subconscious basis and Ruburt, all unaware, has already delivered it to you, and it was in his terms to cool it because spontaneity must progress at its own rate and feel comfortable in both physical reality and inner reality. You are not to go into inner reality like a door to a closet, and close the door behind you. It may be comfortable, but that is not its purpose. Now, your own unconscious mind knew this and you were told to come so that the message could be delivered rather forcibly, so consider this a forcible delivery. You are doing very well.

You are opening up channels to the inner self and, hence, hopefully beyond. Consider then what you are doing quite legitimate as a means, but not an end. Do not take everything you get as the holy word of God. You are working through the subconscious, and you must work through the subconscious in order to clear the channels. To know this does not mean that you should not trust what you are getting. It simply means you should look to it subjectively as well as intuitively.

You are on a pathway and you have a good beginning. There is debris in your way. This is not the fault of the pathway and the debris is perfectly legitimate for what it is so do not be discouraged but go your own way, slower, more calmly, and with inner confidence. Do not question so severely, for underneath you have been wondering whether or not you are reaching only the subconsciousness. To reach the subconsciousness itself is quite an endeavor and worthwhile. You must work through this in order to make communication with other layers.

Now, in all of your minds there is still this conception that what you want to do automatically, because you want to do it, must be wrong because it is too easy. Now reality is easy. This universe is not maintained by conscious thought and if all of you together had to consciously decide ahead of time why the universe should exist, it would not exist, for you would not have made up your mind yet. Be lucky and thankful that the inner self does not have these hang-ups. You see how well I do with your vocabulary.

(To Theodore.) I have a remark for our dean and it is this. You know very well that surprises are being prepared for you in your Great Hall and when you are ready to understand them, you will return. Now you are completing a cycle. After going inward to some degree, to some considerable degree, you are now using your abilities to manipulate physical reality and turn in your outlook into your physical environment using your abilities to help people that you know, and this is excellent. But you will also find it both necessary and enjoyable to return to the inner source of your being, which for you is symbolized as the Great Hall, for it is from there that you receive your insights and your support. And you know this as well as I do.

(To Mack.) First of all, you are protecting the inner self very well and you have a protective attitude toward it which is good. Our friend over here deliberates, which is also good, but he does not deliberate in a dry manner, but creatively. And while he does not speak often in class, what is said in class sinks into his mind, and he uses it in his own way. He uses what is important and discards what he does not need.

You have a very significant reincarnational past, and you will either discover it for yourself, or I will give you some hints involving it in later sessions. You are doing well, however, and you are progressing in inner experiments. Certain ideas of yours that you have been harboring for some time will be coming to fruition, and you can trust them.
