Now. There has been energy present in this room, and strong energy, this evening. But you have not been serious enough about using it, nor have you been playful enough to use it without serious note. You may use it in two ways, you see. You may play with it and use it marvelously... or you may use it seriously... But in between you will not use it at all, for you cannot harness it. And in your own daily activities, in your playful moments, serious moments, you can almost achieve the freedom that the inner self knows. But in your mundane moments, you will not achieve it. And when you half try, you will not achieve it.

Now, you see what you are willing to see, and it is stupidity to consider suggestion as the result or the cause of what you see. It is stupidity in class to worry that suggestion would cause a given result... for suggestion causes whatever you see. You form your physical reality through suggestion and expectation. You experience what you expect to experience at a subconscious and a conscious level. And therefore as Ruburt is very careful that suggestion is not involved, so he has also had you be overly cautious, and there have been many opportunities in class that you have missed for this reason... and these are the bets that I have spoken about earlier this evening. You have the ability to see more than you saw, and you have the ability. You enjoyed your passivity (to CW) to the point of a joyous giving-up; and instead, you see, there is a point within passivity where you are passively alert. And you went beyond the point and lost what you might have seen. As our friend here went beyond the point (referring to TM), looked at the portraits and consciously... for you did not make an original intuitive judgment...but consciously looked at those portraits in terms of nationality, age, and all the requirements that you thought of.
