As he matures and learns, and studies and works, he will then be able to do this when he wishes to do so. There are no significant unhealthy elements connected in this rather innocent regard for fire. Now. The shift of his consciousness is unsteady. He has no discipline over it, and is sometimes in a state of consciousness that is between. Training will allow a strong disciplined focus within either reality.

In the beginning of our relationship our communication was somewhat less smooth. Ruburt was aware of uneven moments as certain transitions took place. He kindly allows me to use, or rather operate his vocal cords. And yet even this involves automatic translations of which he is not consciously aware.

I have lived in physical terms within your three-dimensional universe, and I am aware of that universe. My main existence however is in a dimension of which your third-dimensional reality is only a part. I can therefore perceive, for example, portions of your future, simply because the future is only an illusion that exists in three-dimensional reality. (Pause.)

So there is a projection of consciousness on both of our parts to some degree. Now, I like the type of questions that you ask (to Venice), and I enjoy an inquiring mind. Do you have any other questions? (Pause; voice good, eyes closed.)

Energy or action is composed of an infinity of itself, and yet, forever acting upon itself, it forms forever new portions of itself. Each action causes another. Now until we have done more talking you will simply have to take my word, for the sake of our discussion—our one-way discussion—that any action or energy possesses consciousness seeking to know itself, therefore; and acting within itself it forms new consciousnesses that are individual and independent, and yet connected to every other consciousness.

The purpose is the expansion of consciousness itself, and this automatically leads to the knowledge that every consciousness is connected to every other, and that any harm to one is harm to all. Time simply does not exist as a series of moments. This is three-dimensional illusion. Therefore in actuality no one life is lived before nor after another.

Action acts spontaneously. In three-dimensional existence you must speak of reincarnation in terms of continuous lives, for it seems to you as if there is indeed a past, present and future. Imagine then action or energy which is conscious, exploding into bloom like some gigantic cosmic flower, spontaneously, instantaneously, and intuitively.

You however would view this in slow motion, so that eons of time would seem to have passed. And yet energy or action, which is consciousness, is always changing, and the shape of the flower and the blossom would constantly change. Energy can never be lost but only change its form.

The consciousness therefore would never be destroyed in reality. The most minute blossom within it would experience only an almost instantaneous change of form, and all of this would transpire in the breath of an instant. The individual petals would merely change, as the personalities of men change in what seems like a series of before and after reincarnations.

And no memory, you see, would ever be lost, and nor is any memory lost. The personality that you have now is simply the flower of the moment, not realizing that it has the knowledge of its own past histories; and all of this would be but one cosmic flower. Energy constantly renews itself. The various flowers could then be compared to the various dimensions through which action and consciousness know their own reality. The expansion of consciousness automatically leads you to understanding and compassion.

Indeed. This was an attempt on his part to reach certain levels of intuition that had not yet taken conscious form. On this particular occasion Ferd was not involved. Our young friend was developing his own intuitive abilities.
