This is your reality, accept it or hide within all concepts. It is up to you. Make this information personal, emotional and a part of your lives. These secrets, as our friend here told Ruburt, that you have told in class, that have had such weight to some of you, how dare any of you hold these secrets up between yourselves and All That Is and the experience that is waiting for you and available? That you think these secrets are that important, that they can stop the energy of the universe from working its way through you when that energy gives you your vitality and strength. For all of these issues are related, and the movement of your thought is as lively as the movement of any molecule and far more powerful.

The trouble was that you wanted to hide in concepts, and so he brought you out of them so that you could acknowledge the self that deals in concepts, and then give you some relief and release. He leads you back into concepts again. There is nothing wrong with concepts at all as long as you do not use them as hiding places or as steps of security from which you will not leap, one into the other. Or unless you use them to hide your own emotional reality. Within you concepts and actions are one, and you recognize this, and your inner lives are based upon it, but your mental lives are often based upon ideas, until recently, have been considered very modern and very in, such as the idea of evolution. And yet, if you had listened to what I have been saying, again, you would have known the theory to be a pretty tale. Life bursts apart in all directions as consciousness does and explodes in all probable directions. There is not one steady stream of progress.

Now you have met in the last weeks those elemental portions of yourselves that you have not admitted even to yourselves, in terms of implication, and now you must also meet more complicated realities in terms of concepts and make these a portion of your own emotional reality. You work these out whether you know it or not. Ned and Sue work them out. Alison and Joel work them out. And you all work them out through your own relationships, for even these are symbols for other realities and each move you make in this reality is made in another and still another, and this does not deny the integrity of your own individuality which continues by its own nature.

Now I have adopted this measure simply because it is impossible to speak to each of you individually with any depth or meaning, but (to Valerie) I want you to realize that you are not alone, and that isolation is a manufactured thing. You manufacture it in your mind. It has no meaning in any terms. You will learn to feel it and not simply accept it intellectually, but you must begin to tell yourself emotionally that you are not isolated, and you must divorce yourself from self-pity.

I have one point before I close, and it does not deal with concepts except as emotion is concept. Some of you will know to whom I am speaking, but I am speaking also to each of you in this room. There are human beings on the face of this earth who do not know what love means, or companionship. Who so not have parents, who do not have sisters or brothers who understand an isolation that is bleak and cold even if it is of their own making. Each of you in this room who has the opportunity to share with another then know that is grace and be thankful for that which you experience. And do not underestimate what you have. There are personalities who have traveled through the centuries, literally, without an understanding, and if this was their reality and if it was their own making, still be glad that it is not yours and accept those relationships that you now have and realize their potential and do not close yourselves off to stupid pride and through barriers of your own making.
