Now as Ruburt said earlier, he (Martin) is a good man and besides that I like him. Now he may not approve of Ruburt’s habits, but then Ruburt does not approve of his, and that is between he and Ruburt. As you are all used to saying, you must do your own thing in your own way. There are distortions in his thought as there are distortions in all of your thoughts. He thinks of vitality in different ways than you do, but he uses it very well. Now when the myths speak, they speak with many voices. You must indeed look beneath them, and you must learn to listen to the inner voice within that is not fooled by any myths. Now the vitality that is within him is expressed in a different way than you express your own and the terms attached to it. And the tales that go along with it are different than your own. But the true reality cannot be put into words. Neither words within your brain, within your mind; for the voice itself and language itself is bound to be distorted. The words are merely symbols for the reality. You need the words in your state of being but only each of you in your own way can search for the reality that has no need of words. The reality that needs no sound. And when the speakers speak to each of you in the dream state and in your private hours then they do not need words. You translate what they say into words, but the inner knowledge within you exists long before any alphabet was ever known. The inner knowledge within you existed before the nervous system existed, before there was a brain capable of learning language. And so let the inner energy and vitality then rise up and express itself. And open up those doors of energy. Do not close them down. All of the myths should float away, and all the debris. A man’s myths are like his clothing they are his own affair. Beneath the clothing is the person and the reality. And now I will let you take your break. A Seth break and a class break.

Now the channels this evening to probable selves are open rather clearly. I would like you to follow then, to close your eyes. Now concentrate on the feeling in the back of your skull. The feeling is the important thing for from it the pyramid shape will of itself form. Now feel the pyramid and be aware of it. It will be different to each of you, for it is your own personal path into probable realities. I want you then, freely, to follow through it. Use my voice simply as a thread so that you can follow it, and it can bring you back safely but concentrate upon your own feelings and sensations. You should find the pyramid forming easily. It may seem as a path or a ray of light but follow it with full freedom and confidence.

Outward from your skulls, therefore, into a dimension that has no space or time, in your terms. See this pyramid extending, and whatever you find within it meet freely and with confidence. If there are rooms, then pursue them. If you see a particular person then speak or make yourself known. If you find another group of people, then relate to them in whatever way seems natural. If instead the distance seems immeasurable and the way long, then follow it. Now you are seated physically in a particular room upon an autumn night and yet these pyramids extend where seasons are not known and where autumn nights are not known and you are traveling on paths between dimensions. Therefore free your perceptions while you have the opportunity and use your consciousness naturally in the way that it is meant for you to use it, freely and with confidence and joy. Be assured of your own vitality and your own confidence to deal with all situations. Let my voice then serve even to form a portion of the pyramid so that you have even greater feelings of support. Whatever scenes come, follow them. Whatever thoughts come, follow them. Whatever rooms open, explore them. Whatever sensations you have, accept them joyfully and with confidence. Learn to use the mobility of your own consciousness joyfully and follow even further into the pyramid and into, indeed, the light of consciousness and understanding, for it reaches as a pathway between those dimensions, and it is indeed a channel between those dimensions, and it is indeed a channel between your world and other worlds that also exist. I want you then to draw energy and power from the voice and use it in your own way. Let it become whatever you want it to become and whatever you need it to become in this particular time, in this particular place in this particular probability system in which you find yourself. And if you find another self, then greet it. And if you see another face, then give a look of recognition. And if you find another brush past you then wish it well. And if you find worlds that you do not understand, then look upon them with wonder, but send your consciousness as far as it can go with great vigor, with freedom and joy. Let it go where it wants to go and travel those pathways that are native to it, that are as native to it as breath is to your physical body. Let yourself then be flooded with comprehension and with knowledge and let all those intuitive connections be made that need to be made. Let other probable selves help you as indeed you aid them. And let the self that you know realize its potential and part of All That Is. And now for the last spurt let your consciousness go still further so that you know you are sending it as far as you can, that you are using it clearly and with vigor.

And the others of you will find your dream nights stabilizing. Your dream classes, therefore, will become more clear. The experiment that began as I said is still continuing and some of this will also appear in your dream state. Some other clues, however, will appear when you are wide awake and going about your daily ways so keep good notes this week and you also. Some other events that we have been working toward are close to fruition and next week you may find yourselves realizing what these are. Also be on the lookout for strangers that specifically approach you. Not strangers that you meet, but strangers that approach you where no effort is required on your part. This in connection with other people that you have known. So I expect you will have a busy week and I also expect that we will have a busy class next week. If certain watchers are watching you, as I have said before, there is no reason why you cannot watch them also. So keep your eyes open.
I bid you all a fond good evening and prepare to be adventurous this week. You have the tendency to rest after you have been doing well for a time, but the period of rest is over. Now your periods do not always match. Our Cousin over here, for example, has had a rather active week.
