([Arnold:] “We have existed an infinitely long time and will continue for an infinitely long time. On a scale which extends infinitely in both directions the positions of individual points becomes rather meaningless. I suppose we are all pretty equal but each of us is a portion of a larger identity which may not be equal to others.”)

Now, in particular I would like to hear answers from here (to Arnold) and here (to Dennis) and from the silent one in the back of the chair (to Laurie), and first of all I would like to make a remark to our friend (to Florence) and it is this.

Now I speak to each one of you when I say those words. It did all of you good mentally, psychically, spiritually and imaginatively to try to answer our friend’s question for the same question, in precisely the same terms, was in the back of many of your minds. So often when our friend asks a question, she does not merely ask it for herself, although she supposes that she does. She also picks up questions from you telepathically and gives voice to them. She does this all the while being sure that she does not have psychic abilities to develop and is not using them at all.
