DEAR FRIENDS:

My heart is bursting with joy and overcome with gratitude for all my blessings and the clear realizations that are coming to me almost daily. The joy comes in serving my Master; the joy of knowing for the first time who I am and of what I am a part; and likewise the joy of hearing the Master within speaking to me and of realizing in my humble way that He is All in all, and has charge of me and all my affairs,—I could keep on and on naming my blessings, they are so many.

In reply to your asking me to explain more fully these things of which I write, I shall try to make it as clear as I can, because I do not want to appear absurd or as if I had some peculiar twist of the mind.

I am neither dreaming, sleeping or meditating when I see these things. This seeing seems to be just a part of my consciousness, and I am aware of functioning in two places or on two planes of being at the same time. For instance, at this particular minute I am conscious of writing this letter, of every article in this room, and at the same time I am just as conscious of being in the garden, sitting beside a fountain with a lady (a new Teacher, I think), as I am of the physical part of me. Do I make myself clear?

Maybe for days I will not be conscious of being or doing anything in the inner; then at anytime or anywhere I will become aware of what is taking place in the soul world, and for days maybe I will be conscious of that world. But while I am aware of all that I am doing in the inner world, and can see myself and others talking, I cannot hear what we are saying—or rather it is a rare thing that I can hear.
