You (SW) lost some good bets this evening. And you (CW) lost many good bets this evening. Now. There is a difference between passivity and alert passivity. And you need to learn the difference. Here you need to learn the difference. Again, I welcome our new member (LD).

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.
