Now I bid you all a good evening. Now you have been running away from emotional realities this evening. I have a slight suggestion, this means that I have a question for you. Now I do not expect the question to be answered in a general manner, that is far too safe, and we are not dealing with philosophies. We are dealing with realities from which you may weave whatever philosophies suit your fancy. And the question you can thank a member of this group for. The question comes in two parts and so I shall expect it to be answered in two parts.

You can save them for later.
The first question is, “How relevant is life?” And the second question is, “How relevant do you think you are?” And I do not expect beautiful sounding generalizations. Not only do I not expect them, but I will not stand for them. The nature of reality is now. It is within the reality that you know, and the reality that you know is a part of these other realities. Illusion is also a part of reality.

How revelant is your life?” and I will add a third portion. “Are you more revelant than an ant?” Than an ant.
