(Jason Hatton of Pittsburgh, PA discussed how he had developed his talents after leaving the church and wanting to use these to help others, but mainly being interested in healing. He related a dream in which he went to turn the TV set off, but it stayed on no matter how many times he clicked it off and on. He then put a lead shield over it, but this didn’t help. He lifted the shield to try again to turn the set off and out jumped a shiny, many-tattooed Buddha which started after him. Jason ran upstairs to get a gun and got the feeling the Buddha had run out into the night. Then he woke up.)

Good evening to you all and welcome to our new friends here and to our visitors. As many of you know, I have indeed been around, as you say, for some time. I found the conversation very enjoyable, and I do have some comments I would like to make.

Now, the television screen represented your abilities—it transmitted the messages. In the dream you could not turn it off, and you put up a shield. Underneath you are frightened that these abilities will lead you along the paths that you have lead, that despite all your deliberations you will lead to another religion signified by the Buddha. And you are tempted at times to close these off for that reason, but you are also afraid that you have gone so far so quickly that the abilities cannot be closed off, and you cannot close the channel. You are also wondering what thing can come through the channels that you have not anticipated. You are strongly inclined, as you know, toward mystical matters. At the same time, because of your background, you also distrust mystical matters to some extent. You do not want them to pop up again in new guises.

Now see, you are smiling and that is much better. This was supposed to be your break, but I could not stand such a long face over here. Now, you were a fine Irishman at one time. The good Father Aloysious Ian and it was not Ian Aloysious, it was Aloysious Ian. Father indeed. Do not look at me like that. So free yourself entirely. These words, as you listen to them later, should bring other intuitions to you and insights concerning past life experience. Free yourself. You see, while you harbor bitter feelings toward any person or any organization you are not free, and you will misinterpret your information to that degree. I am sorry I forgot to smile. That is almost an Irish smile. I will let you return, and then I will return but I had to catch him on that.

(To Dennis and Giselle.) Now, you two will be around here for some time and as we have done with the other students here, we will do you in depth. I am smiling. Why is it that with new people, I have to say I am jovial? Ruburt’s muscles do not do what I want them to do, but then they are all I have to work with and so I cannot complain. It could be worse.

We have an abbess (Yvette) and in the relationships of those days there was an easygoing give and take between the convent and the house of the priest, and you were rather closely involved. You have been involved largely in two areas, and both of them have been strong. You have been involved as a mystic and you were a mystic when you were an abbess, regardless of your extracurricular activities. And you have also been involved as a courtesan. Now, these two are not as widely separated as it would appear for in both aspects you were dealing with strong personal relationships. You were also looking for answers in whatever capacity you found yourself. The two of you are together now in order to help solve some of the problems that you encountered together in this particular past life. Now, because of some of your ideas at the time, he formulated certain laws and regulations. The two of you were, therefore, involved and deeply involved.

The relationship is complicated. It has to do with that life and also a Danish life in which both of them were involved, and where this one’s mother was an older brother. There was great conflict between them. You were robbers for a time. You were poor and there was nothing else for you to do. You followed your older brother in this pursuit for some time. This was when you were fairly young children. Later you left and worked as an apprentice for a man in a carpentry shop. Your brother, however, continued in his pursuits and followed you for some time. He finally stole from the carpentry shop, and you were blamed for what was stolen. Your word was not taken; you were disbelieved. The conflict existing had to do with this episode as well as the episode from the past life. You are both overacting, overreacting to each other’s personalities for this reason.

(To Laurie:) This one over here in the corner I have to thank for my card, I believe. I will have something to say to you at a later time and about your house ghost. If you are going to have a guest, you may as well have a ghost that they do not eat food.
