And good evening, Ruburt, my nervous pigeon. Oh, how the ego fights. It is so sure of its dominance in all matters. Woe to anyone who gives a personality knowledge in the manner in which I am giving you knowledge. Oh, how the ego rises up in arms.

I am not going to go into this particular matter to any great degree. There is certainly much to be said for Western man. However it is usually said by others, very eloquently, and nothing is said about the abilities of less civilized soto-speak societies.

It is your refusal to accept the whole self that causes the difficulty. Once more: Data received by the inner senses is as vivid, and in fact more vivid, than any other data you will ever receive, and the ironic part of the whole matter is that you actually receive this inner data constantly. You utilize it constantly and yet consciously you will not accept its existence.

It is only the sense of duality, of which we have spoken, that makes death appear as such a dreadful thing. Once the personality realizes that even in life on your plane he is not always bound by physical data, and that even in physical life the most real portion of him is independent of physical matter, and in a personal way, then he will not fear death as a personal ending.
