“But I would think that Arnold as much as anyone else has been browbeaten by the stereotype. He wanted to speak for a personality like Joel speaks for a personality, or Jane does, or he wanted to get information in a given particular way. Where all the time he’s got it, and he knows he’s got it. But he just wanted it to come out in a particular way. Where all you have to do is say, you know, I don’t give a goddamn how it comes because you have it. Or where beneath your humility is a refusal to accept your own divinity.”

([Bette Zahorian:] “And I just sat here for five minutes telling you to put that goddamn pen down, that he’s been banging away, and he finally did it.”

“I saw last week as Bill started to speak, the class swerved, and everybody looked and listened to the new teacher, hoping that he would have the new answers; that if you couched your questions differently he would give you the answers. That somebody would say, here the answers are, this is it. Joel has seen this as people would shift from his group to my group. I’ve seen it as Buddy would come from here to the other guy. Where people run to others always, and where the messages we give, look within. You listen and it sounds great, but you ignore it to some extent or another. I shouldn’t say this here because most of you to some extent or another, and some of you to a very great extent, are looking in and are doing this. But the divinity, and there is divinity, is within you, as well as within me, as well as within a tree, and that’s what I want to teach you. And that’s why class will continue.”

([Bette:] “I want to say one little thing. When Bill came through, certainly we all looked. It was somebody that some of us here, I hadn’t heard before. I talked to him because he talked to me. If he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have pushed in to talk to Bill. I enjoyed talking with him. But as far as thinking that I could learn any more by listening to him than I could from coming here, or just listening to myself  because if Joel is capable of doing this, so am I. If he can look in, so can I.”

([Bette to Jane:] “But you have said in class to Joel, anytime that he feels he wants to let Bill come through, by all means do it. Am I right?”

([Student:] “I just wanted to be heard before we got off the subject. The class dream I couldn’t remember was precisely just what you [Jane] were saying right now, and I did mention something this evening before class started that I just remembered. Seth was speaking. He wanted to know why, just what you said, we all gravitate in that particular area; why we just heard one voice over another, or did we or should we and so on; just exactly what you said ...I told you before class started.”
