There were others who were supposed to come to class tonight from afar who did not come, and they did not come because they were not Sumari. It does not mean that free will does not operate, it simply means that they knew the way and the time was not right. And you would all do much better if you did not question the definition of Sumari, for the Sumari themselves are not structured. You are not supposed to come up with a logical definition of what Sumari is or what you are doing.

(Lawrence said he had the feeling that it was right for him to be there.)
You feel it is right because you know that you are old and young, male and female, physical and nonphysical, because you know that you exist in your body and outside of your body and in many bodies. You know that you have a communion with the goats that you tend. You know that when you milk the goats, to some extent you partake of the universe of which you are part. You know that the milking is in itself a sacrifice. You know that the milk becomes a part of your tissues and blood and that you will, in your turn, return back to the earth and that the goats understand this intuitively, and that is why you understand what is happening in this room. But what is happening in this room happens all the time unconsciously within all of you.
Now all of you try again not to try. Right off is better than right on, so try not to try. Try, in other words, to feel what you want to do at a given time. To give you a sense of freedom, if you do not want to do anything, do not do anything, and the others should not be offended. A sense of privacy is always respected here, but also realize the sacred nature of spontaneity and of your own feelings, and do not make logical deductions now. You can make logical deductions when you discuss what happened, and you can be as critical as you want to be.
