Do not simply say that the ant has a right to existence as you do. Either feel it and understand the reality of the ant or understand that you do not understand the reality of the ant. Do not play around with the concepts. Experience as directly as you can within yourselves your own living reality, then go from that, if you can, to other living realities. To life as it shows itself in many forms, not to the word life.

The physical sound that I make, the energy that you sense now is, indeed, a part of the energy that sings within the vitality of any atom and molecule. Within you is so much unrealized and unrecognized and unreleased energy. Now trying to answer questions such as those I gave this evening on a surface will not help you. You are afraid of the energy that resides within you and you often avoid the encounters with yourselves.
Now I would like you, in the following week, to think of these questions again but answer them from a feeling level, from an experience level and then answer them as simply as you can verbally. But in finding the answers for yourselves you should have experiences that you may not be able to verbalize. And you should sense within yourselves the energy that resides within your own identity and sense to some extent the unique vitality of every living organism.

(To Ned.) Though we had an honest answer from someone over here in the corner, I would still like a more adventurous spirit so when you ask yourselves the questions during the week then allow yourself, my dear friend, to feel the uniqueness and the integrity of your own personality as you now know it and realize that there is none like it, in this universe or any other. And it would be a crime indeed to end it.
