Now, there is one very cozy answer that is quite handy at times and it neatly relieves you of all sense of responsibility. It takes a while to understand who and what you are, and while you are learning it is often very handy to have someone else tell you and say you are this and so, you can do this and this and this and this is good and this is bad, as you indeed tell children. And so you do not have to ask yourself questions and you do not, yourself, have to probe the nature of good and evil because you accept what has been told you. And when you are in such a state you do not develop. Sometimes you are safe, but you do not develop and often you are not even safe.

You are going to have a lot to do. Now, you have a lot to do now, but consciously you are not aware of what you do, and little by little you must learn to accept greater and greater portions of your own reality in this life and future lives. In your terms, the quicker you learn the better, this despite the fact that time does not exist.

(To Natalie.) Now, when I am looking at someone in particular, you do know that I am looking at you and you know to what I am referring. You must first recognize the fact honestly, that there are certain portions of your reality that you do not like. Do not pretend, be honest, and then you can change the reality. And you should be coming here to learn more about yourself. In learning what you are you will discover what reality is, and again what the nature of God is. You can use whatever term you prefer.

Now, to get out of your body, you must first get out of your mind. You must let your concepts go and experience the nature of your own reality. Without words or symbols you must learn to look through the props. You can still use them as props, but you will know that more exists.

(To Natalie:) You do not need to keep such a tight rein upon yourself. You will not do anything so dreadful if you allow yourself some freedom. When you let your self go you do not lose your self, but you find your self. This is perhaps the hardest lesson, but it is one that you must learn.
