“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.”

“If I could just get, if I could just get any of you, you particularly, because you’re brand new, I don’t know you. You to try to experience the fantastic validity of this moment, or any moment in your life, in all its ramifications, and in all its dimensions, what a great thing that would be, and how much you’d have to tell other people. And if you could experience that purely and freely, despite anything I say, you know, on your own, completely, with all barriers down, how fantastic that would be for any of you, myself included, ‘cause it’s something that we all reach for. I’m getting conditioned now, I don’t want to say, Sue, what are you getting? Sue, what are you getting?”

“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.”

Now I have never said I was a nondescript personality floating through space. Not only would I not say it of me, I would not say it of you, and I would not like it, and I do not like it when you say it of yourself. You are each unique and individual and you are each highly original and as Ruburt has so nicely said, you each have your own paths into experience and understanding.
