(To Mark.) And, our friend over here, I thank you for the work involved. I am delighted that you made the progress, and I will not say anything else.

(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.

And the, I hope, the delightfully human egotistical characteristics that I show help calm your fears and show you that the self as you think of it, continues to exist. I have a reservoir of personality banks upon which I can draw, and as a teacher I use the one that is most effective in any given system of reality and this is the one that I use here. It is a portion of myself that is the most closely connected with earthly existence, and it is a self that I like very well, indeed.
