(After an explanation and discussion of Alpha I, Jane had the class do it after which Seth came through.)
(To Gert.) Now you are going too far ahead. You were in what our friend, Ruburt, would call or will call next week Alpha II. You are jumping ahead a step. Now, that clearly will not do when our friend is trying to introduce you to Alpha I.
Now we will see to it, if he does not tell you, that these steps are clearly given, but you will discover them for yourselves. Some of you are quite familiar with what we will class, or Ruburt will call, Alpha V or VI, but the time has come for you to start at the beginning and work your way through. Now I will not give you a diploma, you will give yourselves your own diploma. And you are quite correct in thinking that an added dimension has appeared in class. And it is a dimension that had to appear in class for, as I told you before, the time has passed, here, where you can hide in concepts. You will begin to live the concepts.

(During break a discussion of each one’s feelings during the experiment of Alpha I.)
You were learning what the feel of your own energy was, and each of you must learn it individually for yourselves. You direct it beyond this place and this time, and so it is about time that you learned to recognize it within yourselves and within the others within this room. We should change the name of the class and simply call it a class in communication and direction of energy. Now I would speak to you in my Alpha I except the state is somewhat different than the one with which you are now becoming acquainted. But before we are finished you will feel the power of your own energy and learn what to do with it. (To Eva.) And this applies over here. Now you are receiving some valid inner information. You will have to learn what to do with it. There are distortions, and you should expect them, and there is no perfect state of consciousness. Perfection implies, automatically, something done and finished, beyond which, there can be no growth nor development. Relax. Revelations come through the earth. Revelations come through the seasons.

(To class.) Now you can utilize this state as a method of inner transportation. You can use it to move from reality to reality. You can use it to understand your present reality now and to understand your fellow being as in the communication that took place here. And we will use it in class as a background for some of the material we have been discussing of late. And I, myself, have some good experiments in mind that you can do in Alpha I. And some more that you can do in Alpha II.
(To Arnold.) And for our friend here, some concepts that you can understand in Alpha I and II because you will be able to experience their reality.

(To Florence.) And you can use Alpha I well. Trust yourself.
([Gert:] “Why did I go to Alpha II?”)
[... 1 paragraph ...]
Now I am shortly going to close my session, but I have a few words for you. Now, as Ruburt told you, the Alpha I state is an adjacent state of consciousness, and when he has talked about it he has spoken about going below into other deeper layers, and also in his mind, he also has the idea of going above into other layers.
Now if you take any number of layers of consciousness and layer them in this manner, you should realize that each of them has adjacent levels of consciousness on either side, so to speak, so that it is not simply a matter of going up and down as if you were playing with scales. But you can also choose any number of adjacent areas, and there are interconnections between them. But since you must start somewhere, we will start with Alpha I and not with Alpha II. But you will learn to feel your own experience in reality in many other layers of consciousness. And I hope that in class, and alone, you will learn to communicate at various levels of consciousness. And I hope you learn to follow the changes in your own symbolisms that occur in these various stages.
