Now I want you here where I can see you for a minute (to Sue). And if all of you will listen, in your own way, you can apply what I am about to say to yourselves though for right now I am addressing these two (Sue and Juanita). And I will have something for you all to do later. Now it is a lovely smile. You smile loudly (to Juanita).
Both of you have this thing about noise, and so I will speak to you both at once. And all of you in class did very well. This young man came up with some very good ideas about you as did everyone else in the room. It is only for you now to see and to hear. The world is not as tumultuous as you imagine it to be, and you can hold your own within it. You can, indeed. You can clear your own ears and your own vision. All you have to do is realize that within yourself is the ability to face each life, each day as a life, as you come to it. You are trying too hard now. You must relax and trust the inner self to see and to hear.
The early problems that helped trigger your difficulty you can now, as an adult, overcome these by realizing that the inner self has its own knowledge and its own ways. You can hear me, and I will see to it that you do. Imagine yourself answering questions that have been put to you. You need not imagine that you are hearing clearly. If you imagine that you are answering the questions, then it will be taken for granted that you have heard them correctly. When you try too hard to hear or see, you hear and see less. Relax and let this be taken care of for you. Now you do not trust the inner self to do these things, and you must learn to accept the inner ancient wisdom that is your own.

Now each of you, in your own way, hide certain groupings of feelings from yourselves so I am not necessarily directing this specifically at our friend here except that she has the trouble with the ear this evening. The earlier incident, of which you spoke earlier to Ruburt, is connected with this one. And later I will see that Ruburt tells you about it more specifically. For now I will simply tell you that the connection is there. You know that it is, but you must think of what noise represents to you, and what it is that you do not want to hear, and why at this particular time you do not want to hear it.

It is connected with Sean, but it also has deeper roots. I will see that Ruburt tells it to you. This also has to do, however, with the fear of exterior stimuli and the basic fear that it will sweep you away, destroy your person and (words lost) of it. You have no security and these thoughts and feelings are highly erroneous. You have physical senses for a reason. They are to help you, not to hinder you. When you refuse to use them for whatever reason, you lessen your own abilities and your own effectiveness as you know, but this is not ever thrust upon you. This is a method of learning, and as you learn you will solve the problem.
I want all of you in this specific case to let out with the heartiest Mu for our friend here to clear her ears. I will let Ruburt do it, however, because I do not want to huff and puff and blow the roof down. I want that Mu to be as loud and hearty as you can make it, and I want you to take it and joyfully, and let it go through you completely. Not in fear but in joy. Now I want this Mu also to be directed at our friend here (Sue) and let them both see that noise can be spiritual and vital and healing and alive and good.

I will bid you all good evening, but before I do I want you all to know that every teacher, myself included, Edgar, has private projects in which they are very interested and mine happens to be probabilities. Therefore, when you are doing your little experiments in class other teachings are being given to you at the same time that will allow you to more easily contact your probable selves. Now I would like you again to be alert both with the people that you meet during your daily lives and to the people that you meet in the dream state.
(To Sue.) Now you met one particular woman at a supermarket this week, and you do not remember.

It is within all of your capabilities now to be alert enough in the dream state to recognize these personalities. If you do not recall, upon awakening, them I am now giving you the suggestion that you will recall during the morning as you go about your chores. You have made some excellent advances.

It takes effort to inhibit your memory of your dreams. It is harder to put up that inhibiting factor than it is to simply remember them. So you no longer need to use the effort to inhibit the memory of your dream. You can tell yourselves that you can simply let that effort go. You do not need to use it in that way. Now when you are ready, and it is work in probabilities is a prerequisite, you will be able to meet and remember so that we can carry on class twice a week. And you will only have to pay for once. And you will remember both the location and what you are learning. But it is not handed out to you on a silver platter. Your own abilities operate here, but this is within your reach now.

(Very softly) You know what I am about to do because I know what Ruburt knows, that our friend upstairs is not upstairs. Now then I want you to do something else.
(Very loudly) As you sense the energy within this voice grab a hold of it, use it for your own purposes. Realize that as it flows through this figure so indeed can it flow through your own. And it does. You do not need to translate it into sound. Translate it into health and vitality and laughter. Use it as you will but realize it is your own, and that within you there is a source of such vitality and strength. Realize also that physical existence is good. It is blessed. It is in your terms real, and it is meant for you. It is your medium of expression. Feel free in it. Enjoy it.
