Now. Take any single event or perception. I want you to see what forms an environment. We will take the simple example of the high grass. Most of the people in your house took it for granted that your landlady would not take care of the place. She is highly suggestible. She is also insecure and very on guard against threats of any kind. Her houses represent security to her.

She was very sensitive therefore to telepathic suggestions sent her way by tenants, and felt that they did not like her, highly resented her as the new landlord. When Leonard returned, all unknowingly he sent out constructive thoughts to which she also reacted; but he loved his lawn and his yard, and in his mind’s eye he saw it the way he wanted it, clearly, and it did become an event.

The event itself was an interaction of thoughts and emotions and images, a group of communications in which actually many people were involved. She is not a puppet, simply carrying out the telepathic wishes of others. She also has a love of yards and gardens, and a love of beauty, so that Leonard’s wish met with fertile ground. (Humorously. )

There are points of correspondence you see between people that can be used to set up constructive communications and bring about constructive events. Leonard’s planting of the flowers has more than symbolic significance. Now give us a moment.

I am speaking now of Leonard. Now your landlady is in somewhat the same position, and it is for this reason also that a corresponding sympathy is set up between them. I am trying to give you some insight into how a seemingly trivial event takes place, how telepathy and expectation enter in. These intertwinings take place all the time, beneath notice. Any physical event is the result of them.

—but each event is formed by those involved in it, for their own reasons, and it is foolish to feel resentful because also the situation serves ends of your own that you may not consciously recognize. If you can take this for granted then you will be much more at peace; and beside that you will most likely be much more correct in your overall assessment.

This material, while it is personal, should give you an excellent example of how ordinary events occur.
