Now development is a journey within creativity. You have at your command literally infinite amounts of energy. In your terms you are, if you prefer, latent Gods. You must learn to handle and use this energy. As mentioned earlier this evening, you will create. You cannot help creating now, anymore than you can help breathing and when you breathe no longer you still create. You cannot escape your own creations. It is not death any of you have to worry about. It is your own creations and you cannot blame your own creations upon any God or any fact or any predestination. If you want to speak in terms of God, then from that infinite gestalt you receive the energy to create, but because you have free will, you create what you choose and you learn through experience.

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.

I have a cosmopolitan accent. You have an accent to me. I have spoken many tongues and in translation this is what it ends up as and so we are all stuck with it. I will let Ruburt continue his questioning or he will not be content.

That is my spontaneity and my spontaneity is my being here and your spontaneity is your being here and by here, I do not mean this room. Now when I speak under this pressure you spoke of using you must then test your reality against my own and it is a good challenge for you.

([Kyle:] “I would agree, it seems like that is what you do.”)

For if I am unreal, then what are you?

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.

It is when you are doing psy-time and when you relax your ego enough and when you are spontaneous enough and when you realize that these other realities do indeed exist.

Now I knew that sooner or later someone would bring up that bugaboo. And it has taken me some time to get the idea of probable realities to your heads, and I knew that someone at sometime would ask me about reincarnational selves and so I suppose it behooves me to try to give you an answer, and it is this.

You are presently within one system of reality, one probable reality, the reality that you now know and form physically. Now within that one reality you have reincarnational selves, they belong within the concept of that existence. All probable systems do not have reincarnational existences. Some do and some do not, so that these exist only here, as far as you are concerned for the moment.

And I know I am only going to confuse you but if you have probable selves then you know there are probable universes and probable earths and probable histories of your earth and you see what this is going to do to your concept of reincarnation as you now hold it. So within the system that you know, you also have probable reincarnational selves within those probable historical earths. Now this does nothing to deny the basic integrity nor validity of what you may prefer to call the soul. It simply means that the inner self also is far more creative, far richer, and far varied and much different than you originally supposed.

([Joel:] “I love it when you say, what blessings I have to give, I give you. It has gotten to the point now where, I get up there and I am already to say, ‘God bless you’ at the end of the service, and I’m almost ready to say  ‘such blessings as I have to give’ and I really have begun to see now, how absurd the whole practice, not that specifically, but the whole rigmarole had been over the years. That’s spontaneous growth, isn’t it?”)

I hope it was a nice smile. What you should say is, “Let the Gods within you get up and laugh and bless yourselves, do than or unto yourselves, treat yourselves like Gods and so, indeed shall you be,” and then run while they boot you out. I will wave.

I will get the message and I will know what the message is. Remember, do not be too impatient, there is a framework that you can use and you have a position from which you can mold opinion and change the direction of people’s minds, if they are open and ready.

(To Natalie.) For over here in our kind and very excellent secretary. There is a bleed-through of material from an Irish existence as a young boy of fourteen. I see you as a Brian Donlevy, in a town 30 or 35 miles from Dublin in 1831 at the time of a hidden rebellion, as a runner. As a runner between the Catholic Irish and Englishmen and in a time of terror. Two brothers who were priests and yet it seems from what I am getting, that you did what only can be called spy work for them. That matters of money and inheritance entered in and that they were on the side of the English for those reasons. Therefore, you were in a highly ambiguous position. 1831 to 1862. Rather aggressive, hotheaded. I see you playing in the church, mimicking the priest and playing with the vestments. You sired a son at the age of fourteen. Your brothers knew this, the priests, and they used this knowledge to incite you to act as a spy for them.

Now I am going to say good evening shortly but remember you call this your universe and your reality and it is indeed, for you form it, and yet within you is also the knowledge of other great experiments that are being tried. And other probable systems are aware of the experiments that you are trying, and in your terms and I am speaking now in your terms only which to some extent means that I am hedging the fence, other civilizations have gone your route, some have failed. In your terms, the inhabitants of some earths, however, have succeeded very well and your future, in your terms, is not set.

You can follow any road that you choose, but until each individual realizes that he practically forms his own personal life, and has a part in the mass formation of reality that you know it, then there is much learning ahead for this is a lesson you are meant to learn within physical reality.

You are meant to judge physical reality. You are meant to realize that physical reality is a materialization of your thoughts and feelings and images. You are meant to realize that the inner self forms that world. You cannot be allowed, in your terms, to go into other dimensions until you understand the power of your thought and subjective feelings. So even when you think you destroy, you destroy nothing. And when you think that you kill, you kill nothing. And when you imagine that you can destroy a reality, you can only destroy a reality as you know it, the reality itself will continue to exist.

You think a thought and because you cannot follow it you think it disappears and you wonder where it has gone; has it fallen off some invisible cliff within your mind? But, because you cannot follow the thought, and no longer perceive it, because you can no longer hold it in consciousness, does not mean that that thought no longer exists and does not have a reality of its own, for it does indeed. And if a world escapes you and you cannot follow it and you think it has been destroyed, then the same thing applies to the world as to the thought. It continues to exist.

Now what I have said should inspire questions within you.

(To Joel) If you cannot follow where I am then you have trouble following where you are and when you find out where you are you will not need to ask where I am. And what blessings I have to give, I give to you.
