Now Alpha I simply involves one small step sidewards. You all enter this state frequently, but in the past you have been blind to the reality that is open within it. You have been given the package, in other words, but you have not opened it, so now we are going to tell you how to open it and use it.

Alpha I is a state of preparation. It is a threshold. It will help all of you if you imagine it as a platform and see yourselves throwing all your fears off one by one, and it would help if you do this before you begin working on anyone else. Otherwise your own fears can hamper you.

Now you may all take a break. I did not say a class break, I only said a break.

You still do not believe in the reality of thought, and so you use your images in this state of Alpha I consciousness, but in some stages beneath you will find you can dispense with it. And in later classes, when you feel quite familiar with where you are, we will lead you all further...

(To Alison.) And you, also, should have no difficulty with it at all and it will provide a good meeting place for the both of you.

Now look at me, and I will tell you something. You should be in Alpha I. What I wanted to tell you, however, is this. As long as you believe you are physical creatures then you will deal with physical images. When you realize that the physical creature is a hallucination then you will not need the images. I am not telling you that reality is a hallucination. I am telling you that each hallucination is a face that reality takes and that within them all the nature of reality resides.

Now in Alpha I you can step aside from your daily self and let the knowledge of your deeper identity rise up where it can be recognized and accepted and acknowledged and its abilities used. You can, with training, feel the miraculous knowledge and heritage that is within your atoms and molecules, be aware of the capsule consciousness within them for they have a knowledge of all the other life forms of which they have been part, and this you can admit to your consciousness.

There is no mass truth. There is only individually recognized and acknowledged and experienced truth. Ruburt once said in a poem that truth was not a great bread to be broken among many. It is a bread created by each, perceived by each. Your thoughts and feelings created not only this reality, but all reality. Then do not hide yourselves from yourselves.

Now I would not force you into any state of awareness, far be it from me. You are all in Alpha I, and I did not force you into it. Now bear with me for a few moments, realizing as you do so that there is in reality no distinction between the atoms and molecules within your precious bodies and the atoms and molecules that fly about the room quite innocently and free; realizing also that there is great space between the atoms and molecules within your body, and that if some very small person were flying through they would find your bodies as large as a galaxy; realizing also that the skin that seems so solid to you is very open, indeed, and does not separate you so much from the universe, as it connects you with the universe; and that there is little division between the atoms and molecules in those knees and those legs and the atoms and molecules that form the floor upon which the legs and knees seem to rest.

And now you are all in Alpha II. Now I would like you all to sense the feeling of your consciousness, realizing as you do so, that there is within your tissues, and within the atoms and molecules that compose you, a great acquiescence. Now for those of you who may not follow the word acquiescent, let me say there is then a great acceptance. Within each of your atoms and molecules is, indeed, a blessed and joyful acceptance of their own reality beyond questioning.

And for those of you who are following me, you are at the threshold of Alpha III. Now the acquiescence that dwells within your atoms and molecules is an acquiescence that has to do with creativity that knows no negation, that realizes, instead, only the benefits and the joys and the reality of That Which Is, and within this acquiescence there is no denial and no negation for all things are experienced, recognized, and accepted as a part of All That Is.

And for all of you who are able to follow me now, you can follow to the threshold of Alpha IV. Beyond this, at this stage, you cannot go; but recognize that you have touched your toes there, at least, and feel the acquiescence that is its basis, for that acquiescence is the foundation of all life as you know it, and all reality in whatever terms you will ever know it. And within that reality there is no negation, and all questions are answered.

It was, indeed. It was a way of getting you to become familiar with your own consciousness and states of consciousness that you adapt, all without knowing, into which you fall and rise without conscious knowledge. If you were aware of yourselves, you would not need me to tell you what these stages of consciousness are. But they are a part of your heritage, a part of your inner knowledge, and we want you to use them consciously and with egotistical awareness now, for your ego is not to be treated as a stepchild, as a poor relative. It is to be taken along on the trip. It is to be educated. It is far more flexible than you imagine.

I bid you a fond good evening and, again, those blessings that I have to give, I give to you, and those that I do not have you will have to get for yourselves. And to see that we have a grand finale, let me say again, that the energy that is available here is available to each of you. You all have reservoirs of energy that you do not use, sources of strength that you do not admit, so use them. It should not take anyone dead as long as I to bring you this message. The vitality that rings, however distorted, through this voice rings through your own molecules and through the tip of your ear and through your (word lost).  This energy is a part of you that you have denied. Free it, liberate it.

In your terms, spring is coming and all those idiot flowers are ready to bloom. And they have not said, “Whyfore there, am I about to bloom, and how is it I am now a seed and soon will be a flower? And what makes the world go round, and why is it that this darkness in which I am enclosed will soon open, and I can shoot like a rocket toward the sun?” But they know their acquiescence and their affirmation, and so listen to your own for it speaks in a silent voice, and yet it speaks in terms of energy that only here is translated into sound.
