You may be a follower, and there are many followers, and it is necessary at times to follow. But in important ways, follow the wisdom that is within yourself.

([Brad:] “I no longer have the confidence in my wisdom.”)

You must first of all realize that within you there is somewhere the miraculous knowledge that keeps your body alive and operating. This portion of yourself, despite all your problems, keeps you alive as a physical organism. Its knowledge is beyond the wisdom of any man or woman alive! If that portion of yourself can make all the scientific and biological deductions necessary to maintain your physical organism, then indeed it has the abilities to solve these other problems. When you fully realize this, and you can if you remind yourself of it often enough, you can draw upon this knowledge to solve your problems. If you accept answers from others, you will simply run into the same problem again and again, and you will have solved nothing.

Now. I have been in one life not only black but a woman in a civilization where neither was appreciated. As I believe I told you before I have been both a man and a woman many times. Both young and seductive and old and wise. I have also been extremely ignorant and unlettered and uncouth. And I believe that I learned very much in those lives in which I was both unlettered and uncouth. I have been ignorant many times. And through being ignorant, I learned the joy and the wisdom that has nothing to do with the intellect.

Each of you has been both male and female. Some of you have been mothers but not fathers, or fathers but not mothers. You have died before reaching adulthood—or you have lived and become senile—or you have lived and attained wisdom. But your identity and your inner self is independent of these reincarnations. And the vitality that dwells within you has known many forms.
