[...] Within you there are blueprints; you know what you are to achieve as individuals and as people, as a race, as a species. [...] Now: Using your free will, you have made physical reality something quite different than what was intended. [...] You were to work out problems and challenges, but you were always to be aware of your own inner reality, and of your nonphysical existence.

“The motivating force is still All That Is, but individuality is no illusion. Now in the same way do you give freedom to the personality fragments within your own dreams and for the same reason.

[...] From its agony, It found the way to burst forth in freedom, through expression, and in so doing gave existence to individualized consciousness. [...] Yet all individuals remember their source, and now dream of All That Is as All That Is once dreamed of them. And they yearn toward that immense source … and yearn to set It free and give It actuality through their own creations.
[...] You form your own dreams, and you form your own physical reality. [...]
“He is not human in your terms, though he passed through human stages; and here the Buddhist myth comes closest to approximating reality. He is not one individual, but an energy gestalt.
