This is Whitley Strieber: I’ve ended up living a lifetime of the unusual and the unexpected and the unknown. Many, many things have happened to me, some of which I’ve written and spoken about, others of which I have not, but I think that perhaps the central experience, at least that I remember right now, was my conversation with the man I have come to call the Master of the Key.

This conversation happened in the small hours of the night in June of 1998 in the Delta Chelsea hotel in Toronto, Canada. I was awakened by a knock on the door. I had eaten late and room service had not yet picked up my tray, so I assumed that it was the room service boy. I did not realize that it was two o’ clock in the morning or shortly thereafter, so I jumped up and threw the door open, and immediately a man came in. He was dressed in a gray sweater and pants, he had white, thinning, hair, and he was about 5’7” or 5’8”; he was not a large man, in fact he was rather a slightly built man, an older man. He looked to be in his 60s or 70s, and he had a slight smile on his face.

He walked past me very quickly and to windows at the far end of the room, where he turned around in front of the closed curtains and immediately began to speak. I began to think that I’d made a major mistake, that I had let somebody into my room who should not be there. This has happened before. I was once in a hotel in Chicago when a fan came into the room late at night. The woman came out of the closet and engaged me in conversation. It turned out she had bribed a bellman to let her into my room in order to tell me her story. Obviously, this was not a good way to get somebody’s attention and I thought a similar thing had just happened, only this time, since I had been asleep, I had let the individual in on my own. I was just getting ready to try to throw him out when he began to speak, and this is how the conversation went:

I said or I yelled something like, “Why are you here?” And instead of saying, “I’m here to pick up your tray,” he said, “You’re chained to the ground.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m here on behalf of the Good. Please give me some time.”
“Who are the Good?”
“Those whose lives are directed toward ascension.”
“You mean like religious types?”
“Belief impedes release. The ascension I refer to is the process of finding God within, and the Universe without.”
“Meaning?”
“Mankind is trapped. I want to help you spring the trap.”
“What makes you able to do this?”
“The key I offer you consists of a new way of seeing yourselves that will free you.”
“There’s nothing new under the sun.”
“There are thoughts unthought and words unspoken. For example, I have a message for you about the next Age and the one just passed.”
“Dare I ask?”
“The most important thing about the last Age was the Holocaust.”
“An Age means what?”
“An Age is a bit over 2,000 years, the length of a Zodiacal sign.”
“Yes.”
“And the Holocaust was the most important event in the past 2,000 years. You were meant to have acquired the ability to leave the planet by now, but you are still trapped here.”
“You make me irretrievably lost.”
“This is of absolutely fundamental importance, because the Earth will soon be unable to support you, and yet you will not be able to leave. This is because of the Holocaust. The destruction of six million may well lead to the destruction of six billion, so it is the most important event, by far, of the Age.”

Now, subsequent to that, I have made a study of Nazis and interstellar travel, trying to find out if there was something that ended up lost or hidden that was discovered at that time that could have taken us off the planet. Incredibly enough, I found an ally in none other than the editor of Jane’s Defense Aerospace Weekly, Nick Cook, who says that the Nazis did develop anti-gravity craft, and that this technology is still being worked on even in modern times by Boeing. Boeing has denied it, but nevertheless, Mr. Cook, who is one of the leading aerospace reporters in the world, says he was shown internal documents from Boeing indicating they are indeed working on this technology now. It is 60-plus years since World War II ended, and we are still flying old-fashioned jets that were invented during and right before World War II. We have made no progress in terms of propulsion since then, none whatsoever. And I think the Master of the Key knew that, and that’s why he said what he said.

Now let’s continue with the conversation:

Next I asked him, “Why has the Holocaust prevented us from leaving the planet?”
And he said, “The Holocaust reduced the intelligence of the human species by killing too many of its most intellectually competent members. It is why you are still using jets 75 years after their invention. The understanding of gravity is denied you because of the absence of the child of a murdered Jewish couple. This child would have unlocked the secret of gravity, but he was not born. Because his parents went, the whole species must stay. In other words, we were tested. World War II was a test: Would we tolerate Hitler, or would we not? And we did. In 1937, ‘38 and ‘39, the world had many opportunities to overthrow Adolf Hitler, and we did not do that. We elected not to intervene in the actions of a sovereign state, and so therefore condemned our species to becoming trapped on the Earth, at a time when we must find a way out; we must.”

This is why, a few months ago, I wrote in my Journal on unknowncountry.com, that we should intervene in Iraq. I don’t think we should make the same mistake twice. The peace movement is quite right that Iraq is a sovereign state and under normal circumstances, we should not have the right to intervene in the affairs of a sovereign state, but is it a legitimate state when it is run by a vicious dictator? Is any such state legitimate? I think we should have learned a lesson from Adolf Hitler, and that the world should proactively intervene in these cases. We need to establish standards of statehood that are internationally recognized. We have not done that yet, and as a result, we have suffered immense damage. We should have intervened in the creation of the soviet state. We tried to, but failed. We should have put more energy into it. We should have intervened in the case of Hitler. If we had done those two things, millions and millions of lives would have been saved, but more importantly even than that, as the Master of the Key has said, we would now have the ability to leave the Earth in large numbers, because the mind that was available to us, or would have been available to us to solve the riddle of gravity, would have already been born and done his work. Extraordinary.

So let’s go on with the conversation:
I asked him, “You’re saying that the catastrophe we’re facing now, too many people and no ability to leave the planet, is punishment for the Holocaust?”
“What is happening is consequence, not punishment. The Holocaust was triggered when economic disorder combined among the Germans with the feeling of being trapped, due to overpopulation. The resulting explosion drove the German tribe to lash out against other tribes, especially the one that lived in its midst. Unfortunately, they murdered the bearers of the intellectually strongest genes possessed by your species.”
Then I asked him, “Why are we so blind?”
This is his fascinating answer: “At deeper levels, you are a very different species than you appear to yourselves. Just as the biblical story of the fall of Man and the banishment from the Garden is really an allegory of the destruction of the previous civilization, so, also, the story of the Fallen Angel is an allegory of your fallen heart. The Demon is the part of you that hungers for destruction.”

Interestingly enough, some months after The Key was published, I interviewed William Henry on Dreamland about his book the Cloak of the Illuminati, and what did he say? He refers to the Garden of Eden being an allegory for a lost civilization, the exact same thing that the Master of the Key told me in 1998, before I had even heard of William Henry!

I asked him then, “Why do we do these things?” and he said, “This is a fallen world.” And there followed one of the most profound moments of my life when I asked him, “What is a fallen world?”
He said, “Be as the lilies of the field.”
When we hear that, we think: ‘How can we possibly do that? We need to make shelter; we need to gather food.’
“You are at war with your fate.”
And then I thought to myself, ‘At war with fate… I always have seen fate as being another word for God’s Plan,’ so I asked him, “Are we a species at war with God’s Plan?”
And he said, “Because you have no plans for yourselves, there is no Plan for you. God wants companions, not supplicants. Become the friends of God, and you will find your Plan.”
Amazing. We spend so much of our time passively saying, “Oh, well it must all be part of God’s Plan…” when the truth is, if we don’t plan for ourselves, there is no Plan.
“What is God?” I asked him. I figured at this point, why not? Maybe he’s got a good answer; he’s got some fascinating things to say, goodness knows.
He responded in an unexpected way. He said, “An elemental body is a mechanism filled with millions of nerve endings that directs the attention of God into the physical.”
I immediately responded, “That didn’t answer my question.”
He said, “It did, very precisely. If you were a friend of God, you would have understood. There is a much larger world behind your backs; it is to this world which man is blind. Man is soul-blind and God-blind.”

At that moment, I realized I wasn’t really talking to a man, not to an ordinary man like you or me, but to a man who had been exposed to something very great, and I thought, ‘Maybe this is an angel,” and I thought, ‘Maybe this is a dead man.’ And I wanted to touch him, and I wanted to put my hand out to him, but I thought there was something about the moment; he was so contained and he looked, in a way, so beautiful, that I resisted the impulse to stop the conversation and hug him, which was very strong. And I asked him, “How can we change?”
He said, “Surrender to God.”
And I said, immediately of course, “What about free will?”
He said, “Free will is only possible in God. The will of the fallen is slavery.”
So I asked him, “How do we surrender to God?”
And here came an answer that I really hated to hear: “Return to the forest, otherwise you will destroy the Earth and yourselves.”
“Six billion people can’t return to the forest!” I said, “The forest can’t possibly support us!”
“I agree; it’s impossible.”
At this point, there was a whole other line of questioning I could have followed. I could have said, “What do you mean by this phrase ‘Return to the forest’?” Instead, I jumped ahead. I know now what he would have answered, or I think I do. “Return to the forest” means, essentially, become a good husband of, take care of, the Earth. And it’s an old message, but coming from this man, at this moment, it’s a really important message. It’s implicit in what’s written in The Key. I didn’t ask him the question. I should have.

I went on, “But if we destroy the Earth, we end up dead, so what happens to us, then?”
And then he says, “You go forth, even though you aren’t ready.”
“Go forth? To where?”
“To another state of being. Your access to elemental bodies ends.”
And then I thought, ‘What is this elemental-body deal he keeps talking about?’ so I said, “What is an elemental body, anyway?”
He said, “A body formed out of chemical elements, something drawn from the dust and made alive.”

Now what’s so interesting about this is, I learned from the visitors (and this was repeated in a funny way, recently) that the way we think and act and are an expression of the elements that we’re made of. We are, in that sense, an idea created by the earth. We are a carbon-based species, and therefore the way we see the universe around us is determined by the way this element is.

I don’t pretend to know how that all works, but at Chilbolton, the summer before last, there was an incredibly interesting crop circle image of the medallion on the Pioneer spacecraft. And in the place of Man on it, was one of the little gray creatures, and the symbolism indicated that this was a silicon-based species, that they were telling us, if this is real (and I frankly think it is real on some level), that they are from a different element; They are from silicon rather than from carbon. And, according to what I have understood from them, that they literally see the world around us in a completely different way than we do, and this might account for the extraordinary gulf between us and all of the secrecy and all of the confusion that surrounds our attempt to come together. It may be that there is some deep, universal level of reality that keeps us from coming together in the sense that we see the world one way and they see it another. We think one way, they think completely in another way because they’re built out of a different element. I can’t take it further than that because no one has ever really thought: ‘Would a creature that is formed from another basic elemental source necessarily have a fundamentally different way of thinking and seeing the world than we do?’ Well, interestingly enough, practically the only other element that scientists believe complex creatures could be formed of would be silicon.

I asked him, then, “What sort of body would we have without elements?” because I thought to myself, ‘Well, if elements are a problem, a confusion creating this gulf, maybe there’s something beyond that.’
He said, and this is one of the most important things that he said (and we’ll develop this over the course of this conversation), “A radiant body potentially formed out of conscious energy.” Now, this is the first time I had ever heard the phrase “conscious energy,” not “radiant body” (I’d heard that somewhere before), but conscious energy. So I said, “What is this? How can we put it to use?”
“Conscious energy”, he replied, “is not like unconscious energy, the servant of those who understand its laws. To gain access to the powers of conscious energy, you must evolve a relationship with it, learn its needs, learn to fulfill them. But also remember: It is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, easily detectable by your science as it exists now. You can learn to signal and be heard and to record a response. The veil between the worlds can fall. The undiscovered country can become your back yard.”

At that point, I was immediately reminded of the spirit-communications field and the people who are trying to create communications using simple technology like tape recorders and video recorders, between us and other levels of reality. And they do record voices, spirit voices. Some of this material is hoaxed; there is no question in my mind about it, but some of it is very genuine. Are those voices just random sounds that came from some radio station a thousand miles away, or is it really communication with the other side? He says that using technology that we have now, that we can do this. Is this the correct use of it? I don’t know. You can explore this a little bit more thoroughly, and I’ll tell you how: Go to unknowncountry.com. Click on the Mindframe tab. On the right-hand column below the Dana Augustine section (You’ll see Dana’s picture there), there’s a section called Other Websites. Go to Other Websites and scroll down to the section called Ghosts and the Afterlife. Click on the World ITC tab, and you will find Mark Macy’s World ITC group. They have really raised spiritual communication, electronic voice recording, to an electronic art, and you can try it yourself; it’s not hard. The equipment is very low-tech. I have tried it; I have not tried it much, and I have never gotten anything, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t. So, give it a shot and see what you think. Is this true? Can the “undiscovered country” become our backyard? Well, your backyard might not be a bad place to try this.

I asked him, “But how can you do this?”
And he said, “By first realizing that you are not cut off. There is no supernatural; there’s only the natural world, and you have access to all of it. Souls are part of nature.” Now, this is an amazingly freeing concept. We are dividers; we divide everything: soul and body, natural/supernatural. Science is constantly saying, “We can’t study the supernatural,” and here the Master of the Key is saying, “There is no supernatural.” And if you think back to 100, 150 years ago, radio would have been part of the supernatural. We couldn’t study that because it’s impossible, it’s magic. Yesterday’s magic is today’s science, yesterday’s supernatural world is today’s nature, and that has been going on for centuries. This conversation suggests that a soul is conscious energy, is in some way part of the electromagnetic environment, that presumably we can detect it and communicate with it.

I might add, however, that this level of consciousness must be highly intelligent, and my guess is, it is in absolute control of the degree to which we have access to it. As things become more desperate in our world, we have to ask the question: Will it abandon us to our fate because we have failed in some fundamental way and must then go extinct, or recycle in some long term process? Or will it intervene and help us? I think that the Master of the Key is an example of that kind of intervention. This is a little book that has only been read by a few thousand of you, of the people I regard as sort of the spiritual elite, who are willing to entertain these ideas, keep open questions, who disdain cults, who are old souls, spiritually advanced people, and with open minds and the willingness to entertain these things—but not necessarily to make them into a belief system. And I think there’s a reason why this material is going to just this small group of people, because you’re the ones who can actually make use of it and spread the ideas into the culture in a healthy way rather than, God forbid, “gurufy” me or decide that the Master of the Key is the Second Coming or some idiotic thing like that. You take it like adults, with a grain of salt, with an open mind, in proper perspective and with questioning.

I then said to him, “I don’t feel that we have access to the whole of the physical world. We’re trapped here on Earth, for example. Our space program has lead feet.”
He said, “When you were challenged from the outside, your government chose the path of public denial and secret defiance. This is the path to failure. It must change its policy to one of public admission and open defiance.”

Now the interesting thing about this is that he didn’t say, “It must change its policy to one of public admission and open acceptance,” he said open defiance. And this gets me to something Colonial Philip Corso said to me. Corso said he had had a direct, face-to-face encounter with an alien. Did he or not? I don’t know, but the thing that rang so true about this is he had been told to ask this being a question. The question was essentially: What’s in this for us? The answer is a terribly authentic answer no matter where it came from. The visitors, as I know them, would have answered the question this way. The answer was, “What is in it for you is a new world, if you can take it.” If you can take it! That means, on a number of levels, if you can grasp it, if you can bear it because of the enormous change involved. Public admission and open defiance. It does not say that the government should open the doors to the visitors or that we should, it says that we should defy them, and out of that friction, there will come the new world; We will, in other words, take it. The reason for open defiance is very simple: The visitors will not give us anything, we have to take it. Everything’s a test of strength. If we are strong enough, this new world will be available to us, but it’s going to take tremendous strength and courage on the part of the government to admit its mistake, and enormous courage on the part of the individual, especially if the visitors actually show up in a public context. After a very short time it would be discovered that they were not all that easy to deal with, and they would be demonized. They would be the source of terror and fear. However, for those of us who know how to handle this, they would be the source of incredible knowledge and incalculable new energy. A relationship that is connected, that is based on friction, is very, very valuable if you know how to handle it and balance it. It’s a constant state of testing, so I think that in that sense, Colonial Corso’s statement was absolutely authentic. What is on offer is a new world if we can take it.

I don’t believe I had spoken to Colonial Corso yet at that time, but I’m not sure. Anyway, I then asked him, “You speak of secrecy concerning the alien presence here.”
He responded, “Until you take your place, you will remain trapped. The threats that have been delivered to your government in secret are a test. To pass it you must defy them. Your place will not be given to you; you must be strong enough to take it.” Exactly what Colonial Corso said, in effect. Now this is interesting, because back after I wrote Communion, I talked to my uncle, who’s passed on now, Colonial Edward Strieber, who was a very, very interesting man. He was a lieutenant colonial in the Air Force, and he told me, after he read Communion, that he had helped to assemble the debris that had been brought to Wright Field from Roswell. And, he had introduced me to his commanding officer, General Art Exon. And I had quite a long conversation with both of them, and Exon said, “Oh, we knew everyone from the White House on down knew within hours that this was not of this Earth, the Roswell crash.” And he went on to say that he had worked with the Air Force to liaison to what, he said, you know as MJ-12, although that’s not its name. He said, “I can’t tell you its name, but I worked until 1963 in liaison with them, and I still go to meetings at Wright Pat all the time.” This was in about 1988, and I based my book Majestic on what General Exon and my uncle told me, which was essentially that the Air Force had wanted to reveal this to the public, but that the CIA had stopped them they felt like the government had gotten itself into an awful fix because of this. I don’t know if they were right or wrong, if they were just trying to get the Air Force off lightly in history, but that was certainly their message.

In any case, my uncle said an interesting thing, “The government had been told that if they revealed the presence of the visitors publicly, on their own without permission and without agreement, the visitors were liable to destroy the entire planet immediately, without warning. And this is why people have died to keep this secret, and why the government will never divulge it, never.”

“A new world if you can take it.” The Master of the Key says you must be strong enough to take it. He says the threats that have been delivered to our government in secret are a test. Does this mean the threats are hollow and empty? If I know the visitors, and I think I know them fairly well (I refer to these little gray beings), it’s not that kind of a test. It would be very, very dangerous indeed to defy them directly and openly. In other words, there are much deeper, more complex reasons for the secrecy. I am actually communicating one of them, maybe the most telling one, without doing it in such a way that it becomes an official pronouncement and ends up being open defiance, but nevertheless, the secret is sort of out at this point.

I then said to him, “ I have the impression that the government knows very little.”
He said, “Then you have the wrong impression. But remember that government is also very complex, and a good deal of it is not what it seems at all. Much is hidden from your public officials. This world is run in secret.”
Now that started me on a journey that I have not yet left. It got me interested in people like Jim Marrs and it got me interested in the realities behind all of those conspiracy secrets and so forth, the people like James Branford’s Body of Secrets, and the work that we’ve been doing on Dreamland, talking about books like The War On Freedom and Peter Lavenda’s Unholy Alliance: The Continuing Presence of the Nazis In Our World. The things like Hitler’s flying saucer—the strange, weird idea that the Nazis did learn to leave the cosmic egg; they did learn a method of traveling in the cosmos. And something happened as a result of that, because of the Holocaust, and because of who, therefore, gained a hold of this secret, we ended up trapped here, isolated in the Earth at a time when we really need to figure out how to get out.

I said, “So the government is not what it seems.”
He said, “Form an assault on secrecy. You are right to fight against official secrecy; it is the greatest present evil.” That defines my career, basically, on Dreamland, or one part of it. I am assaulting secrecy, and you’ll see in my Journal entries, in the one on my childhood that’s up just recently, that I am always saying we must get past the secrecy. We must find a way to do this. He said, “You must find a way, because the alternative is to be denied your place in the higher world.”
And I said, “What is this higher world?” Because I wanted to know if it’s going be a struggle (and it’s obviously a tremendous struggle to gain our place in it), and is it worth it?
He said, “What difference does that make to you?”
I said, “I’m trying to find out our relationship to it.”
He said, “Not all human beings are radiant bodies, but all may become such.” In that sense, for every path that everyone of us has ever been on, from the beginning of time to now, there is the aim. That’s what it is all about. It is what all prayer is about, it is what all meditation is about, it is what all spiritual journeying is about. I’ll repeat what he said: “Not all human beings are radiant bodies, but all may become such.”
I said, “You’re saying that we don’t all have souls?”
He said, “I’m saying that you are not all discrete, radiant beings, but all participate to some degree or other in conscious energy. To remain a separate being after death, there must exist the ability to maintain the structure of the radiant body by the action of attention. This is why we have been so insistent that you meditate; otherwise we will lose you when we die, and we don’t want that. If a being cannot self-maintain after the elemental body no longer does it automatically, it is absorbed into the flux of conscious energy. You go into the light, as it were.”

You know, I always had the feeling that there was something about going into the light that was a kind of defeat. No, that’s too negative a word: it’s a wonderful experience to rejoin the wholeness of consciousness after death, but potentially there is more—coming back to, becoming a companion of God. True surrender is not a matter of being absorbed, true surrender, ironically, is becoming a discrete, separate radiance. It got me to thinking, what is a radiant body? And thinking to myself about meditation. Then I remembered I had met this man before, back in the early seventies, I remembered that meeting very clearly. Afterwards and before it were what were hard to remember. As I recall, I was sitting in my little office in our apartment on West 76th St., just off Central Park. It’s where I wrote The Wolfen. I used to go for walks at two or three o’ clock in the morning in Central Park, and it was while I was on one of those walks that I was shadowed by a pack of dogs, and out of that experience came the inspiration for The Wolfen. By the way, you’d think: ‘Who in the world would go walking in Central Park at two o’ clock in the morning?’ But it’s perfectly safe, if you’re not worried about getting sniffed at by a pack of feral dogs. It’s safe because no muggers go there because they have no business because there’s nobody there. I used to love it.

Anyway, I was sitting in my office one morning, and I had been fooling with some Tarot cards. I was very deeply involved at the time in the Gurdjieff work. He came and was there for about half an hour, then he left again. I remember it this way: I got up from the desk, walked from the office to the living room and there appeared in my head a whole path based on the Tarot. Just in a instant, it appeared in my head. Actually, I had had a conversation with him, but that had been edited out of my consciousness. I went to my teacher in the Gurdjieff work, a most blessed memory, Joe Stein, and I laid this path out for him in the Tarot and he said, “Well, that’s quite amazing.” And I laid it out for others, too. I laid it out for Jean Salzburger, who is a dear friend in the work, and Mr. William Segal, one of the most sacred beings I was ever privileged to know. And I laid it out for my group, and it was quite wonderful and elegant and new. And then I spent many years working in it, with it, and on it, as part of my being, as my meditation. And I wrote, finally, the little book, The Path, which is available in my little store on the website. It’s based on this earlier contact with him, and is a method of meditating in such a way that I think it leads us to becoming more discrete beings so that we become, potentially, companions of God.

I thought about what it would be like, to die and be a discrete being after death, rather than being absorbed into the flux. I said, “Isn’t going into the light going to heaven?”
He said, “There is some ecstasy but it’s not complete. When another elemental body forms that fits the pattern of that particular fragment (meaning you), it will return to the physical in search of more sensation. Or if one never does, its unfulfilled desires will remain forever as a part of the tapestry of memory.”
In other words, what happens is, you go into the light, but you’re not complete. There are things undone that you need to do in life, that you feel a need to do. I don’t know what they would be, because I don’t have any clear memories of this. I know I’ve had other lives so I’ve done this before; I’ve gone into the light and come back out again. I think probably practically everybody on this earth has, especially us, the “old souls.” I think we’ve probably done it so darn many times that we’re really looking for something else at this point. Hey, let me avoid it this time; I’ve been on the wheel of life so long, my friends. And I know a lot of you are feeling this as well. The little book The Path is about getting off the wheel of life. We will return, otherwise, to the physical, in search of more sensation, and by that I don’t mean pleasure. Sensation is everything that happens in the physical world; it’s everything. It is the existence, the filtering of the future and the past so that we only live in the present moment. We really don’t or remember fully who we were or understand fully who we are, so we live in this diminished state in order that experience flowing into our lives will surprise us enough to etch change on our souls. It is why we are here, it is what we are doing.

Later, as we continue to go through The Key together, we will get into this issue of the tapestry of memory that exists in the universe. This is the personality, as it were, of conscious energy that we are contributing to. Everything that happens to us becomes a part of this vibrant tapestry of being, and I will tell you this: I have lived in and tasted that kind of memory from time to time.

There are cases where people have had operations on their brain. Their brains have been probed and they have suddenly, vividly relived an event from years ago in their early childhoods of some other time; every taste, every smell, every nuance reappears suddenly and they are living that event again. That’s what that tapestry of memory is like. It’s like being alive all at once on a vast scale, not only in your own rich memories, but also those of millions of other people. It is a vastness of experience that is not available to the soul in life because of the fact that so much of our perceptual instrument is directed into the nervous system and the cells of the body and out into the physical world. We are anesthetized to this larger reality.

The danger is that, if we never return—if, for example, the Earth is never again able to produce a body that fits this particular soul that I’ll call Me, our unfulfilled desires will remain forever part of us, and therefore, there will be a permanent limit to the level of ecstasy we can reach. And that is the danger of staying on the wheel of life. This material is so deep and so secret; it’s never really been expressed like this before.

We’ve come to the end of three-quarters of an hour together. That’s really enough to contemplate. Chew on this; listen to it and listen to it again and we’ll get back to The Key in the next couple of weeks. I’ll keep doing this until we work our way through the whole book of The Key. And we’re going to work our way through some other books, too. We’ll work through The Path together; we’ll work through some books of the Bible, perhaps. There’s a lot of things that we can talk about. I love you.
