(Florence had been discussing the accident in East Pakistan [Bangladesh].)

In nature there are no accidents. If you do not take Ruburt’s word then at least listen to mine. You need not take mine but listen to it, and there are no accidents. Now, if you accept, my dear Lady of Florence, the possibility of the slightest, smallest, most insignificant accident then, indeed, you open Pandora’s box. For logically there cannot be simply one small accident, but a universe in which accidents are not the exception but the rule. A universe in which, therefore, following logically, your consciousness is a combination of an accidental conglomeration of atoms and molecules without reason or cause that will vanish into nonexistence forever even as, indeed, they would have come from nonexistence.

Now, once again, while our Lady of Florence voices her doubts and fears, these are also doubts and fears that have lurked in the back of your own minds so bring them out into the open. All of this can be related to ordinary, daily life.

([Florence:] “What is the difference between an accident and a mistake?”)

(To Florence.) I will have more for you in a moment.

(To Florence.) You can, and listen to me, allow yourself more freedom. Now, as with Ruburt, oftentimes you believe you are allowing yourself intellectual freedom and being your most intellectual. You are, instead, allowing your intellect to be driven by subconscious rationalization. You are using it as a shield to prevent you from going further, and that is why I always take you up on it as I do the same thing with Ruburt. Do you understand what I mean?

([Florence: ]“I am very conscious of doing this for this reason.”)
