Now your are barely beginning. At one time, bear with me, (long pause) there was what we may call a federation of consciousness, though that is not the best term. But consciously a group of people upon this earth managed to remember old truths. They remembered that they formed physicial reality from the vitality of their own thoughts and fellings and images. They knew how to do this consciously. They knew how to speak the body. They knew how to speak the wind. They knew how to send their thoughts and feelings out into a universe and to make the kind of universe that they wanted. Many times the knowledge has been forgotten and many times it has been reclaimed and so hopefully you will reclaim it once again.

After all this time you still do not personally accept the fact that you are, in your terms at this moment, the sum of your own thoughts and emotions about yourselves and that whatever you want to fix you can fix, and that whatever you want to change you can change. If you do not change it is because you do not want to change badly enough. No results are forced upon you from the outside. You form the outside.
