Questions Answered

(“When we leave the physical body where do we go?”)

You go where you want to go.  Now.  When your ordinary, conscious, waking mind is lulled in like your sleep state, you travel in other dimensions.  You are already having experience within those other dimensions.  You are preparing your own way.  When you die, you go into those ways which you have prepared.  There are various periods of training that vary according to the individual.

You must understand the nature of reality before you manipulate within it intelligently and well.  In this environment and in physical reality you are learning … you are supposed to be learning … that your thoughts have reality and that you create the reality that you know.  When you leave this dimension, then you concentrate upon the knowledge that you have gained.  If you still do not realize that you create the reality that you know, then you return and again you learn to manipulate and again and again you see the results of your own inner reality as you meet it objectified.  You teach yourself the lesson until you have learned it.  And when you have learned it, then you have begun to learn how to handle the consciousness that is yours intelligently and well.  And then you can form images for the benefit of others, and lead them and guide them.  And then you can continue, you can continue to enlarge the scope of your understanding and consciousness … and as you do this, you take on a more conscious awareness of your responsibility.  And your responsibility is not difficult to understand.

(“What determines the time between incarnations?”)

You.  If you are very tired, then you rest.  If you are wise, you take time to digest your knowledge and to plan your next life even, you see, as a writer plans his next book.  If you have too many ties with this reality and if you are too impatient, and if you have not learned sufficiently, then you may return too quickly.

It is always up to the individual.  There is no predestination.  And there is no one ho tells you what you must do.  The answers are within yourself then as the answers are within yourself now.

(“How do you discover those answers for yourself?”)

Now, there are many ways … but only one real way.  And the way is to begin the journey, as Ruburt told you, into the nature of your own consciousness for the answers are within you and not out from you … and no one can tell you the answers.  Now in one way, each individual will find his own answer … and yet all answers, in another way, are one.

You must try to forget for a period of time each day the self that you think of as yourself … the adult pretensions, the adult bignesses.  You must remember the childhood spontaneity.  You must think of the freedom that is within a flower.  Now it seems to you that a flower cannot move, and therefore has no freedom.  And yet I tell you, you must think about the freedom of a flower.

You must dissociate yourself from the person that you know.  Close your eyes.  Imagine anything that you like that is pleasant to you.  It makes no difference what it is.  Then imagine yourself stepping apart from yourself in whatever way you choose.  And then imagine that all about you there is another dimension and you need only take one step at a time … and you will find your answers.  You have only to begin.  There is an adventure and it is within you.  And there are answers, and they are within you … and you can find them.  Now.  You have more questions?

(“How do you develop the power of spiritual healing?”)

You already have the power of spiritual healing.  You want to know how to use it.  Now you use it whether or not you know that you do.  When you think thoughts of peace and vitality, and when you wish a man well, then you help heal him.

Now in order to direct this power consciously, you must again get used to the feeling of your own subjective experience … so that you can tell subjectively when this energy is pouring through you and outward.  You can use your imagination and imagine perhaps that you hold an arrow and want to direct it to a proper location.  But with practice, there is a subjective knowing that you will recognize and understand.  But you use the ability whether you realize you use it or not.  You are a healer, whether you realize this or not.

…  Now, dear friends, you all dwell in the same unlimited dimension … you simply have not opened your eyes to see it.  You think that you are blind and so you do not see.  The universe in which I dwell is the universe in which all of you dwell.  Some of you have better eyesight than others and the vision is not physical.  Now.  You have done will with theories; now, I tell you forget them.  Forget the self that has the theories … and begin to experience.  To do this, follow the directions that I have given, but also get in the habit of looking about you morning, noon and night … and realizing that there is more within every environment than each small room that you see.

Realize that there are personalities that you cannot see physically, yet they are there.  And look positively for them.  Realize that there are voices you cannot hear with your physical ears, and listen for them inwardly.

Now.  I have been in many pasts an intellectual gentleman and a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality … I was not burdened with intellect … and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences.

The trick is not to try too hard, to realize that the answers are available, that they are there, and that you can find them.  All that is necessary is given to the flower.  And all that you want will be given to you, but you must want what you want desperately enough, wholeheartedly enough.  An intellectual curiosity will give you some answers but it will not give you the deepest answers.

You must be willing, quite willing; not only willing but anxious to travel in dimensions that you are not acquainted with on an egotistical basis.

And into this reality, you do not go as a grown man with preconceived ideas.  You go as a wonderer without preconceptions.  And you become acquiescent and the answers are given to you … and to you … and to you.
