Now, the deliberation with which you speak, in class and to those with whom you work, has to do with the fact that in the past, as I mentioned earlier, you memorized a code of ethics, and you had to be deliberate as you recalled this code and then told it to others. You can be more spontaneous now in your speech, and you will find that you can communicate more smoothly to others. It is more difficult now for you do not have a code of ethics written in your head to tell others. You are learning and then you tell others what you learn but the intuitions are highly involved.

(To Laurie.) Our painting friend. Imagine yourself playing at your painting with the spontaneous feeling a child has. Enjoy it, for it sings. Express yourself spontaneously with it, and let yourself go with it without telling yourself beforehand what you expect of it. The same applies to your psy-time exercises. Enjoy them for what they are. Do not set up limitations, and to all of you the same applies. Your psy-time should not be simply for the purpose of getting outside of your body or having an out-of-body experience. Whatever happens, accept it and go along with it. It is no accident.

(To Ned.) And to this one, be gentle with that boy or you will hear from me. Do not think of yourself as an adult relating to him. Instead, identify with your own creative childlike self. Then you will find there are many similarities and that you can understand him and not feel frustrated sometimes. I want you to be spontaneously happy with him and to allow his spontaneous happiness to come across to you, and do not be a bitchy old dog. Do you follow me?

I want you to realize, above all, the energy that is in each of you; the individual entity and the uniqueness. I want you, therefore, to go your own ways in peace, in spontaneity, in joy and fulfillment.

Now, I have been both a mother and a father many times and so I understand your problem but the fact is this. When you are a parent it is impossible for you to completely remember your own childhood or to understand the feelings of consciousness that are growing at that time. Now, as a parent, your chore is to train a consciousness to manipulate in physical reality. The consciousness, by that time, far more free than your own and you are quite jealous of their spontaneity and of their inner understanding. They do not have to hoe the line as you do and yet, you are supposed to teach them how to hoe the line.

It is largely cultural in your particular environment. Now, in some native cultures this is not true, but you are learning to encourage spontaneity, and yet within certain areas there must be a concentration of abilities in the physical line and in this extent you are a teacher and you are learning as you teach them. You also experience their own frustrations, and this makes you angry. When you were a child you could be angry at the parent. When you are a parent you can feel the child’s anger but you do not know what to do. When you are a child you can blame the parent. When you are a parent there is no one to blame. Therefore, you are forced to ask about the nature of reality. You are angry because you do not understand, as yet, the nature of reality and you have no answers but you can learn the proper questions. You can learn to experience again that spontaneity and to encourage it.
