Now I want those of you who can to follow still further, for we will travel beyond these fields of probabilities in which all times are born. Into another dimension in which times are not manufactured and moments of any kind do not exist. Into an immense system of beginnings that are beyond any beginnings that you may have imagined, in which all nebulous creations exist in incipient form. In which all probabilities exist, in your terms, as yet unborn; and yet in greater terms already being accomplished and coming into new existence. And you also have a reality here; and this reality, to some extent, nurses your own existence and reaches down into the system that you know, even though you are usually not acquainted with this reality. And this is only at the edges and the boundaries of the one system in which you have your existence. For beyond this, there are still other beginnings so alien that I cannot explain them, and yet they are connected with your own life; and they find existence and expression even in the small cells within your physical flesh.

You have chosen for the unoperable intimacy of tragedy and flesh and pain in order to teach yourselves the unoperable exultant nature of your own vitality and energy and song. And these lessons serve you well, and what you learn goes out from you in all directions and each triumph that you make is not yours alone, but reaches even into those dimensions of which I have spoken.

Now I want you to do several things. First of all, through listening to my voice, I want you to be reminded of the sheer physical vitality that is now a part of your own being. The physical life that you do not understand, that is now the vehicle for the expression of your self. I want you to be intimately aware of it and realize that the blood rushes within your veins with as much force as this voice speaks. Then I want you to give us a brief moment while I show you, to some extent, the vast distances, in your terms, in which your reality has its meaning. The dimensions of existence in which you also have your part.
