Now let me give you a more concrete example that each of you may use in your own way. Suppose the worst, that in this life you have the following background—you are poor, you are of a minority race, you are not intellectual, you are a woman, you have a severe physical defect and you are no beauty. Now these challenges, in a so-called past life, you have set for yourself. This does not mean you cannot use all your resolution, all your courage to solve those problems that you have set. To use those abilities that are still yours and to make from a seemingly chaotic pattern of personality and environment a product of joy and fulfillment.

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.

And you should hear your own echo of my voice as a symbol of your own strength and energy and joy. Forget the cringing selves that you sometimes are and remember, instead, your abilities and the magic essence of your own being that sings even now through your fingertips. That is the reality for which you are seeking. Experience it fully. Do you need an old dead thing like me to tell you what life is? I should be ashamed.
Now, I bid you a fond good evening and those blessings that are mind to give, I give you. Travel in peace and joy and safety, in your bodies and out.
