... to solve your problems and triumph over your challenges.... and the impetus is this: you must not journey into inner reality until you feel secure in physical reality.... for you cannot live in two worlds at once unless you are secure in one. You need a firm groundwork... a groundwork that you can trust. And then you can travel through these other doors, but you must be able to stand on your two feet in this universe.... And then you will go consciously where your body cannot follow... and you will find your answers. But you must have something secure to hang onto. Now there is no better reason to solve your problems.

When you are certain that you feel at least reasonably secure, where you are, then we shall take you to where you are not and you will find yourself. You are already there, but in order to go there, you must start from somewhere. You must start with, you see, a balance and a degree of security.... You must start with confidence. And if you travel too quickly and too far, you will not have confidence, for in the back of your mind you will think: if I do not feel secure in physical reality, then why should I feel secure here... and you will not have the daring that is necessary, nor will you have the peace of mind... and the peace of mind is the key to the door.

You should desire good health because it is a natural state of your being. You should trust in the innate intelligence of your own being... which produces good health. Health is a natural state of your being. Through your physical image the energy of the universe expresses itself. You as an individualized consciousness are a part of this, and you cannot express yourself fully nor fulfill your purpose as an identity, as an individual, if you are not in good health... for the effects of the body are felt in the mind... and the effects of the mind are felt in the body. You distort the picture. Now I did not intend a question and answer service this evening, but I seem to be involved in one. And some evening I will turn the tables. And when I ask you questions, I will expect some answers. And they will not be easy questions... and they will not be general questions. And I will make you search for the answers... and the answers will form steps upon which you can walk and will serve as foundations within which you can travel within yourselves. But they will be your answers and not my answers.

Now I will bid you a fond good evening... particularly to our merchant from Venice who is going to travel afar.

There are other ways to travel, and we will see that you learn of them. There are other fascinations and foreign countries upon your planet, but it is good that you learn of those also. We will get you used to the idea of foreign lands and then we will teach you to travel into lands that are really foreign.... And we will give you an idea of the vocabulary used... and it will not be as simple as “Good Morning” and “Good Evening” or “Where can I find a can of beans?”
