So you are embarked upon valuable work and experience. You are only beginning to ask the correct questions. Hypnosis is an excellent tool, you are using. It is valuable indeed. As you learn to ask the proper questions, it will become more valuable. You need to grow beyond the concern for the nature of the light. In the terms of which I am speaking, this is not the kind of question. That kind of question will only give you a certain kind of answer, and if you follow that course then you will follow a question-and-answer course, but without learning anything more than a series of questions and answers that have meaning only within a certain limited framework. So you must lead yourselves free of that.

Now I can tell you what the light is, but when I do that, I am a poor teacher, for a good teacher knows how to let others discover meanings for themselves, and that is a part of your experience. Otherwise you would not be working with the light. The question is not, what is the nature of the light? That is one of the important things I wanted to tell you.

(To Edgar) Now, and I say this with utmost kindness and good nature, you can tell Ruburt that you have no feelings, and you can tell the class that you have no feelings, and you can tell others that you do not care what is said or done to you, but do not tell me. Now in your position, you of all people, should recognize feelings within yourself, the effects of others upon you and be even more vigilant of the effect of what you say upon others.

Now some of this has to do with some information given to you by Joseph last evening—Joseph is your friend Robert—having to do with your ideas of health and illness. You must learn to understand your motives and even with the hypnotic ability that your husband has, you still have not learned to understand your own motives using that tool. The fear of reincarnation is again a shield for another fear that you have not faced that has nothing to do with reincarnation but has charged the word reincarnation to you. The fear is not connected with reincarnation per se, but as long as you believe, unconsciously, that this is so, you will react in that manner. You can use the tool of hypnosis to a far greater degree than you are using it.

(To Edgar) And you must learn also to look beyond your own facade for you believe in it utterly, and yet it is not you. The work you are doing is valuable and can be, but it demands a high integrity of a kind you are only beginning to learn. By integrity, I am speaking of honesty with self that demands you to go beyond the self-deceptions that you accept as your self at any given point.

(To another student) You did indeed have some valid dream experiences, and you only remembered a portion of them. And as Ruburt told you earlier you were involved with a group before the time of Atlantis and you have been together often. But many times you have been too exclusive in your relationship, again as Ruburt told you.

(To Edgar and Maria.) Now another thought. You must try to avoid an overconcentration now upon the negative simply because you are looking for symptoms with the people who come to you. This is extremely important, otherwise you can project also. Your own thoughts and feelings should be those of health and vitality so that these alone help in the healing process. Now these are things that you will learn, and I am not scolding you, do not look at me like that, or you will make me cry, but it is the only time I have to get a hold of you, and so I want you to understand what I am saying.

There is something that you can do. There is something that all of you can do, and I have told the class this many times, but you tend to forget it. You can become far more aware of your own thoughts and feelings than you are now. Now you have much more knowledge available to you. As a rule you do not admit this knowledge. A truth about yourself will pop to the surface of your mind, and you will shove it down quickly rather than take advantage of it. I am not speaking now only to you (Maria), but to everyone in the room, our friend, Ruburt, included.

I was speaking about feelings directed toward our friend here (Edgar) and I was pointing at you. I was pointing at you and at you (Sue) and at you (Maria). There were others, also, but the feelings in this case were of a different nature. The same applies to Ruburt and the both of you.

(To Daniel.) And for our friend over here, and not really for him but for our long-faced friend who is not present tonight (meaning Ron), Ruburt will go for any tests that are fun. That means any tests that he likes the idea of, so you can pass the word along.
