[...] The super-conscientious self is the motivation power or purpose.

[...] (In Mass Events, for instance.) If people were not sick they would not need doctors (quietly amused), and since many people are unaware consciously of their own motives, then the doctors and the patients are often in league with each other, helping to maintain the dis-ease. [...]

[...] If you knew how to handle energy effectively, if you fully realized that your thoughts were the motivating factor, were the realities, then you would not need a physical existence, for that is the reason for the physical environment.

[...] There is no reason why you cannot become proficient at it if you are strongly enough motivated. [...]

[...] We now had a discussion about my motives in painting; I hoped it would release any blocks Jane might have set up. [...]
