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.
(To Jason.) Now, first of all, your enthusiasm and your energy, these qualities are good. I would like you, however, to realize the strong emotional content within your own mind and you in yours. You do not have all of your reincarnational backgrounds and one life in particular may surprise you considerably. There is a reason why you were in the particular spiritual predicament in which you found yourself for there are always reasons. Those who set up laws and rules and regulations often find themselves confronted with those laws and rules and regulations in other lives and through their own struggle then, to escape from these, then they learn that the laws and rules and regulations were not beneficial. If you have a strong emotional feeling of this nature, then ask yourself for the reason behind it.

You were also afraid that the Buddha would escape in the night, that through you, unknowingly, you could release this sort of thing outward. Now there is nothing for you to fear but remember, whenever you feel strongly, very strongly, against any given issue, there are usually more reasons behind your feelings than you know. There are always obvious reasons that you can point to, but the emotional charge that exists within you on these issues is highly important and should be examined and investigated by you in the same way, you see, that you would investigate it if you saw it in someone else. Do you follow me?

You have done very well. As you know, you are beginning an important venture, and that is why I want you to examine your feelings and motives now. You have done so, but you have not examined the specific attitudes of which I am speaking. You have taken them for granted as beginning in this life and as a result of this life’s experience. Now, you have always been involved with churches, and you are only now learning to relieve inner truths outward without dogma. This also has something to do, as you see, with the dream. You fear again the old bugaboo would return.

I would not plan on the program. Now, give me a moment. I do not see it as a place you should fill. There seems to be another person involved, not on your part, but on the other party’s side. This person has a strong bearing on the other person’s thoughts. These would be highly negative simply because of your characteristics and the other person’s characteristics. These could be a smothering effect that you would try to conquer, but in doing so, there would be the tendency that you would try too hard. You would want the right things to happen, in other words. There seems to be another offer, perhaps three months in the distance, that would be much more, not only to your advantage, but to the advantage of others.

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.

I would suggest that for present you do not. Do not make a fuss either way. Release her to her own ways for awhile without ire, without anger.
