1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: At home. Don't be afraid. You are at home, not

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,960
here by chance. You belong here. You are the soul.

3
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:17,600
You cannot be hurt, you cannot be banished. You are

4
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:21,480
right in the universe, and there is no outside. Great

5
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:27,280
things are before you. Make yourself at home. Don't be

6
00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:32,759
afraid your living in your own home. This universe was

7
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:37,200
built for you to inhabit, to occupy, to enjoy. Do

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,920
not feel strange. Make yourself at home. The wonderful laws

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,079
of nature, those which have been discovered and those which

10
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:48,719
remain to be discovered, are all laws for your use

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,600
when you grow large enough to understand how to make

12
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:56,000
use of them. Did you think you were here by chance,

13
00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:01,640
or that you were an alien? If so, better you

14
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:05,760
are to the manner born. You are the heir. Everything

15
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:09,239
around the place is for your use. When you grow up.

16
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:13,359
No one can dispossess you. No one can put you out.

17
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:18,439
You are at home. Do you long for another home?

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,079
Do you fret and chafe at the trials and troubles

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,439
of this world and imagine that somewhere else things will

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,560
be better. Well, they'll never be better for you until

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,159
you have met and conquered the trials and troubles of

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,959
this place. You are just where you belong. You are

23
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,680
surrounded with just the things you need. You are getting

24
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,959
just what you deserve. And until you learn the truth

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,000
of this, you will have the same surroundings, the same environments.

26
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,359
And then when you learn that the things around you

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,719
are all right, that you are being treated justly, that

28
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,879
you are getting just what you have attracted and are

29
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:03,840
attracting to yourself, then you will be ready for the

30
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,239
next step in the journey, and you will have new

31
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,520
surroundings and new environments, new tasks, new lessons, new pleasures.

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,280
I hear some of you talking about death. You seem

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,000
to think that you will be another order of being

34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,599
as soon as you take your last breath upon earth.

35
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,000
You talk about being a spirit by and bye. Do

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,560
I believe this? Of course I believe it. I know it.

37
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:36,759
But I also know something else, and that is that

38
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,000
you are a spirit now, just as much as you

39
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,479
will be in another world. Did you think that some

40
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,000
wonderful essence was going to grow from you, and that

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,800
that essence would be what you call a spirit? Nonsense.

42
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,560
You are the spirit and the not you part which

43
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:01,520
will be discarded. Never was you the you which says I,

44
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,479
Am is the real thing, the real self, and the

45
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,479
rest of you is but tools and instruments which you

46
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,560
are using. Why can't you see this? You talk about

47
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,560
my soul, my spirit, and so on. You make me tired.

48
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:26,080
Why the thing which is thinking and speaking you is

49
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:29,680
the soul or spirit of which you are talking. You

50
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:32,439
talk as if the physical part of you, which is

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,400
changing continually was you. You are like the boy with

52
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:41,080
the old knife. He was continually having the knife repared.

53
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,439
He had had seven new blades and three new handles

54
00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:47,879
put on it, and yet it was the same old knife.

55
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:52,159
Why you could step right out of your body, and

56
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,080
maybe you do more than you have any idea of,

57
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,800
and it would be the same old you. You could

58
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,080
scard your body, just as you do your clothes, and

59
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:07,319
yet you would be the same individual. There is a

60
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:13,919
wonderful difference between individuality and personality. One you cannot get

61
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,800
rid of, the other may be changed. What's the use

62
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:25,480
in being afraid? Nobody can hurt the real you. You cannot

63
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,240
be wiped out of existence. If a single spirit Adam

64
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,399
should be destroyed, the entire structure would smash up. You

65
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,240
cannot be banished from the universe, for there's nowhere else

66
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,879
to put you. You cannot get outside of the universe,

67
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,560
for there's no outside. There's no place for you outside

68
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,959
of everywhere. And you talk about time and eternity, Why

69
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,160
you are in eternity right now? You are right in

70
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,519
it this moment. It is always today, Tomorrow never comes,

71
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,399
and you are right at home in the universe and

72
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,800
always will be. You are always there, for there's nowhere

73
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,439
else to go. So what's the use in being afraid?

74
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Who's going to hurt you? They can't kill you, they

75
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,639
can't put you out of existence, they cannot expel you

76
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,639
from the universe. So what are they going to do

77
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,959
about it? Anyhow? And after all, who are they? You

78
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,360
talk as if there were outside forces and influences antagonistic

79
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,839
to you, outside of what No matter what beings of

80
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,600
earth or air there may be. They are creatures like yourself.

81
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,079
They are all a part of the whole thing, all

82
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,959
made of the same material, all come from the hand

83
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,920
of the same maker. You are all cut from the

84
00:05:56,959 --> 00:06:01,199
same piece of goods. The apparent difference, says, are illusions.

85
00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:05,519
The difference and separateness is only relative and not actual.

86
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:11,279
So make yourself at home. Take a look around and

87
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:13,560
see what a nice bit of the universe you have

88
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,199
to live in. Some of your family have been trying

89
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,079
to occupy the whole house instead of only their share

90
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,560
of it. But those things are gradually working out, and

91
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:27,399
all will be better within a comparatively short time. This

92
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,759
is going to be a better world to live in

93
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,439
when men take time to think a little, and you'll

94
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,160
be around to enjoy it when it comes. Never fear

95
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,319
you cannot get away even if you want to. And

96
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:45,399
what's the use of waiting for tomorrow. There's lots of

97
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,240
things in which you can find happiness today if you

98
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,680
will only stop worrying about tomorrow. The little child knows

99
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,439
more about enjoying life than you do. The little child

100
00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,560
feels at home anywhere and starts in to enjoy it

101
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,360
and get the most out of it, until he grows

102
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:06,600
old enough to be hypnotized by the race belief. You

103
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:10,319
are at home here just as much at home as

104
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,079
is the fish in the sea the bird in the air.

105
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:18,279
Realize this and make the most of it. Stop being afraid,

106
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,360
stop fretting, stop worrying, Realize that yesterday to day and

107
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:29,560
tomorrow you are here in the universe. It's a good universe,

108
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,319
and it grows better as man grows in wisdom to

109
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,000
take advantage of its goodness. And it is not yet

110
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:40,600
sun up here. Great things are before us, and you

111
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,920
will see them and take part in them. Make yourself

112
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,720
at home, for your going to be around here for

113
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:48,519
some time.
