Each consciousness has its own responsibility for those thoughts and emotions and it accepts and originates. The personality in its entirety includes, therefore, probable selves of which you are presently unaware. This does nothing to negate the validity and integrity of the self that you know. The divisions are illusions and when you wake up to yourself, to your true self, then you are aware of these other portions of your personality.

Then we will let  you take my place. Now, to some extent, what you say is true and yet much of this is not of my doing. The voice mechanism, unfortunately, is something that we must work with and to get my own personality across through the female image and vocal chords, certain adjustments must be made. Beyond this, however, as I believe I mentioned in a few classes, it is not out of the inner sense of my invisible heart but out of the depths of your own psychology that you make me into the image of a wise old man and project upon me authority images that lurk in your own mind. I have always tried to keep you from making this error and always sought to release from within yourselves your own abilities. And told you that knowledge must be directly experienced. You will not learn nearly as much from me as you will through traveling through your own inner self and searching into the reality of yourself for other realities that are also there of which your are unaware. Now my voice is loud but the voice of the inner self is very still and you must be quiet to hear it and so from the loudness of my voice let your self run inward into that silence that is very active.

To explain the analogy that is what I used, but the feeling of continuity is continuous. Now it is also true that for each moment that you exist, in this universe, you do not exist in it. This is not ananalogy but for you there is a continuity of experience. You only accept as real those moments in which you are aware within physical reality.

Now you can speak against the intellect as say, it is not good to be too intellectual and we must be intuitive, and yet you do not do it. And so it would help you if you realize that you are often using conscious thought as a blind to hide you from yourself and that there is nothing within the self that you need fear and that the true security of your identity lies within this inner self and that the abilities of which we have been speaking are simply by-products of the inner self, not to be pursued for their own use, but as natural to the inner personality, as hands are natural to the physical self.

(To Bobby.) And I hesitate to bring this up but our friend, here in the middle, was a Brother in an order in the 15th century in Denmark and it was a secret order that operated underground, so to speak. The personality has a great humility and a true sweetness. An inquiring mind, but also, because of past experience, can also latch upon an idea and never give it up. All the time thinking that it’s open-minded. Now I am speaking now of any given particular issue, not for example, of an entire mental life style, but beneath the humility a stubbornness; an attention to detail; a freedom of thought on the one hand, but an attention to detail having to do also, with this life when you took care of a sacristy and attended to altar veils and the placement of candles, missals and statues in specific and given places. Also, then, you were one who took care of a church calendar where each given saint had his day and for you, at that time, each day then took on the character of its saint for you believed in this implicitly. A love of fine silver and ornamentation from those days. There is some confusion here, we must break this for over here...
