All right, then you shall be, but you will feel apart from the group unless you do what they have done.
(To Ron.) And when you are ready to feel a part of the group, you will also participate. But when you are ready it will work well for you.

I not only support you but congratulate you, and I want you all to know that the effort involved on Our Lady of Florence’s part this evening was only somewhat short of fantastic, and that her achievement more than equals the achievement of those who had had the projections. In trying to deny these early facts of your existence you have shut off strong portions of your own energy and creative strength so that they could not operate for you in your life. You used, literally, a half of your energy repressing these memories and ideas building up a bridge between yourself and the rest of the world in terror that they should discover this secret, and so constructively you could not use this energy. And you built up about your physical image a fortress of flesh to protect you. The image that you have has been built around you from these fears so that you would be so secure that none could find out the secret. And the secret when it is said, you see, releases that energy, particularly as you begin to understand that in that past there was nothing shameful. That the ideas of Orientals that you had at that time were highly distorted. That other incidents of which I know are not, in those terms, my dear Lady of Florence, shameful. The energy can, therefore, be released.

(To Ron.) And when you are ready to communicate, you will communicate. To yourself, to the group. And there has been some good healthy give-and-take here but not an inquisition. There are, and I do not want to shock you, individuals who quite humbly and sincerely, do the best that they can. There are married couples who meet in their daily lives with a good measure of honesty, compassion and understanding and the two people that you mentioned relate in that manner.
Now of all the others in the room, those two, in their relationship, have a simplicity and an integrity that speaks for itself and it is, indeed, highly unusual. The biggest secret that this one has over there, (Arnold), if you will forgive me, is a deep feeling of inferiority that is disguised sometimes as humbleness. This I know and this, intuitively, the other members of the group know, but your questions and the fact that you question it, this is good, here or in any other place or in any other group. But do not question yourself out of feeling or emotion and do not build up a barrier in your own mind for there are no barriers here.

Now my relationship with you, brought up quite cleverly by our friend over here, is indeed a strange one since you do not relate to me as you do to each other. But you may tell our friend over here the effort I make precisely so that you do not set me up as a demigod and that you use your own abilities. Now if this were not the case you would be dealing with my friend, Seth II, all of the time so you had all better watch out.

I very seldom speak symbolically to you. I speak as literally as possible to you, but in order that any information appears within your three-dimensional system then translations are automatically necessary, or you would not perceive it.
Now I will help our good friend, but first I have a few remarks.

You will, indeed. You do so now all the time, but you are not aware of it.

You have all done more this evening than you realize you have done, and so I will now bid you a fond good evening. But remember there are differences in your own reality and in your own identity that are as great as the difference between my personality and that of Seth II. And there are journeys within yourselves that you can take that will lead you from selves that you know to selves with whom you are not yet acquainted. And so now I give you those blessings that are mine to give.

You will, indeed. You need the framework, but you do not need too tight a framework and you do not want, now. And do not project your conscience outward upon others and then react to them as authority figures.
