I am no Volkswagen, that I am waiting for you. First of all, you must forget words like purpose and time. For as you have learned, they will impede your progress. They are limiting words. We shall give you better ones. I shall have to make up a dictionary for you. I will give you a vocabulary test. Pronunciation, meaning and spelling. Now as far as possible, you should divest yourselves of words that limit your concept. You must pretend that you are learning a new language and indeed you are. The language with which we are working, however, deals with far more than words. We must use words as you are aware of them. The words are all that shows, but beneath those words are actualities and realities. We can only hint at these with the use of words, and this is why we must be very careful as to which words we use. We must be very choosy and I know indeed that you are all very choosy people since you are here.
