“You are being allowed freedom within limits.  The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel.  The ideals keep the race pointed in beneficial directions.  Thoughts and emotions form the basis.  You learn by seeing these turn into physical reality.  You may be killed by what you have created.  If so, the lesson is doubly learned.

Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy and see, through physical materializations, the concrete result of thought and emotion.  …

In other systems, energy is more directly felt, more extensive.  Consciousness has much more freedom in its utilization.  The lessons must be properly learned before such responsibility.  There are other training systems, each dealing with various aspects of such understanding and discipline. …

When you leave the physical system after reincarnations, you have learned the lessons and you literally are no longer a member of the human race in those terms, for you elect to leave it.  … In other more advanced systems, thoughts and emotions are automatically and immediately translated into action, into camouflage, into whatever approximation of matter there exists. 

Therefore, the lessons must be taught and learned well.  The responsibility for creation must be clearly understood. …

It is not that you must be taught not to destroy, for destruction does not actually exist.  It is that you must be taught and trained to create responsibly. … 

Your system is a training ground only for those who have chosen to go beyond into particular other systems.  …The training gained in your system then will serve you for existence in a variety of interrelated systems.  If the sorrows and agonies within your system were not felt as real, the lessons would not be learned. 

The teachers within the system are those who are in their last reincarnation, and other personalities who have left the system but have been assigned to help those still within it. 

You are dealing with the transformation of emotional energy into action and form.  You then manipulate within the system which you have yourselves created, and by its effects learn where you have succeeded and where you have failed.”
