All right, then you shall be, but you will feel apart from the group unless you do what they have done.

Now I will let you all take a break and do not break up into pieces.

(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 as far as the group is concerned there is always a method in my madness, as there is a method in your own madness. The creative selves within you know what you are up to and I know what I hope this class will be up to and you must have faith in each other and trust if we are going to do the kind of group experiments that I have in mind. If you do not have faith in each other in the body you will have none out of it.

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 have told no secrets. I am very afraid to tell you that I have forgotten what I considered secrets through the lives that I have lived. I certainly know that, like any of you in the past, I have not always been charitable. I know that I have hated one parent or another. I know, certainly, once that I plundered in the wages of war. I do not come to you as someone who does not know what it is like to be human. And in those personality characteristics that I use when I speak to you, I show you that the emotional life continues.

(Seth II:)(Words lost)...observed then realize that we are highly interested in such experiments as Seth is conducting, and that as we observe you, so do you, though unconsciously, observe other realities in your sleep state. If our reality seems strange to you then yours seems strange to us. We move through systems such as yours faster than the speed of light, and so what I am saying is already a translation and, in your terms, a message left in the past of your time. Your own consciousness also travels faster than the speed of light, and big portions of you does understand, to some degree, the nature of our reality. At least it has an innate comprehension of the probabilities in which you exist. There are portions of your own identity, in other terms, that dwell in these probable systems that have not known physical reality and that come to observe those portions of itself that have so developed in that fashion. And so do we observe and does yourself serve as a translator in our behalf. Unfortunately, we do not communicate easily with the portion of you that can understand. You are not in communication with that portion of yourselves that is not physical, that was never physical and that will not know physical existence at all, and since you identify with the physical self then, indeed, we come to you in the guise of ghosts that you do not understand our forms that you cannot see. And yet, since we seeded the universe in which you have your present existence then do we observe, and do we watch, and do we have concern.

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

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.
