You form the reality that you know, not esoterically, not symbolically, not philosophically; some great oversoul does not form it for you, you cannot put the burden there either. And though I stare at our friend here, who asked the question, this applies to each of you and to our friend, Ruburt. You form your reality and until you understand this completely you cannot change it, nor can you use your freedoms.
You have in the past, collectively or individually, to blame a God or a fate for the nature of your personal realities, those aspects, indeed, that you did not like. Avoid the temptation to use, instead, the word, whole-self, for the personality is given, again and this is not new material either, the greatest gift of all. You get exactly what you want to get. You create from nothing the experience that is your own, and if you do not like your experience then look within yourself and then you can change your experience, but realize also, that you are responsible for your joys and triumphs. And realize also, that the energy to create any of these realities comes from the inner self. The energy, but what you do with it is up to the individual personality.

This state of excitability, and in this state of excitability, all elements are never known because new elements are always being created. And I am not speaking of physical elements but of psychological elements of those characteristics of consciousness for even those themselves continually change and merge. You are not now what you were ten minutes earlier. You are not the same being physically, psychologically, spiritually or psychically, and ten minutes later you will be different. To deny this is to try to force consciousness into some rigid form which it cannot be ever freed and to apply rules to it that make a very neat psychological landscape.
