(To Florence:) Far be it from me to disturb your ancient ideas of yin and yang, or Jung, or good and evil, or of right and wrong, or of good and bad vibrations! I was beginning a new body of material, and so we have not finished with it by a long shot! What I hope to say is that your world exists in different terms than those you recognize, and that reincarnation is indeed a myth and a story that stands for something else entirely.
Now our Florence is working with her own ideas of good and evil, searching for what she thinks of as an aesthetic and moral code that she can rely upon. Her counterpart had that code, but found that he could not count upon it. Each is working on the same series of challenges. There are also two other counterparts. Between the four of them, the century is being covered. (To Florence, smiling:) I will tell you about that at another time. It is not my suspense story — it is your own!4
For there is also a version of our Florence, a young man in China, who does not weigh even 70 pounds, and who is 26 years old. (Florence is in her late 40’s.) He has starved for years. He feels very vulnerable. It does not particularly help that young man when our Florence piles on weight because she then feels less vulnerable, and more protected from her world.
On the other hand, our young man sometimes dreams of being overweight, and it is one of his most satisfying dreams. Now those dreams are going to help him in his own manner, for he is already working on some concepts involving the planting of fields that will benefit the people in his village.

[...] We can be a child at one end of it and an old man or woman at the other … Michelangelo [who lived for 89 years, from 1475 to 1564] decided to span a century himself instead of as three counterparts, say. Since there aren’t any laws about all of this, a great man could choose to do it that way in order to affect our world more with his gifts, from his own personal angles. [...]
Good evening.
