They are written for the human who seeks to become an ultimate Possibility. They are for the human who seeks to return to the genius and the purity that is ones native state. And, in so doing, become a living embodiment of Truth. Questioner (Q) Answerer (A) WHO AM I? Q: Who am I? A: That which remains when you remove all the things that you are not.

Q: What things am I not? A: All that you believe yourself to be. Q: Everything? A: Yes. Q: I have been told that I am love. A: How often have you been told this? Q: Numerous times. A: And yet you still remain confused. Q: I have also been told that I am consciousness.

A: How often? Q: Many times. A: And yet you still do not know who you are. Q: Are you saying that I did not listen to the advice? A: I am saying that advice has no effect upon human beings. Q: Are the things that I have been told, true? A: If they are, or if they are not, they have benefitted you not. Q: Will you not tell me who I am? A: That which remains when you remove all the things that you are not. Q: What things am I not? A: All that you believe yourself to be.

Q: You will not tell me straight on?

A: Others have tried to tell you straight on. What did it do for you? Q: Perhaps it did nothing for me because what they were telling me was wrong. A: Perhaps it did nothing for you because you are curious for answers, rather than hungry for realizations. Q: Am I consciousness? A: An intellectual question seeks an intellectual answer. This will do nothing for you. Q: Will you not appease me just the same? A: No.

Q: Why? A: I have no interest in appeasing anyone. Q: Why do you play games with me? A: I am the only person you have ever met who refuses to play games with you. Q: I sincerely wish to know, sir. I wish to know who I really am. A: Then you will have taken to heart the answer that I have already given you. A: Yes. A: Yes.

Q: I did hear these words. A: With only your ears. Q: I must think more about these words? A: If you wish. Q: And you are certain that I am none of the things that I believe myself to be? A: I am certain. Q: Will doing this show me who I am? A: No. Q: No? A: No.

Q: Then why should I do it?

A: I did not say that you should do anything. Q: But what is the point of doing it if it does not help me arrive at my goal? A: If you examine it sincerely, it will take you somewhere. If you use it as a crutch or a prescription, it will take you nowhere. Q: Very well. I will dive into this. I will examine all the things I believe myself to be.

And begin to extract these beliefs from myself. A: As you wish.

WHY DO I GET ANGRY WHEN I AM INSULTED? Q: Why do I get angry when I am insulted? A: Because you entertain the verity of the insult. Q: How so? A: How not so? Q: If someone calls me stupid, it does not mean that I am stupid. A: Nor does it mean that you are not. Q: But I dont believe myself to be stupid.

A: Then anger would not arise within you. Q: Anger arises within me because they unjustly accused me of being stupid. A: I see. Q: You dont agree? A: I understand that you would like me to agree. Q: I would like to know. A: I have already answered you.

But my answer was not to your liking. Q: But I dont think of myself as stupid. A: I understand. Q: You dont believe me? A: I do not need your assistance in seeing the Truth. Q: Do you believe that I think I am stupid? A: This question does not interest me. (This woman walked away in anger. (This woman walked away in anger.

Then returned two weeks later) 11 Q: Would you like me to tell you why Ive returned? A: If you wish. Q: I realized something. I was getting angry about you not believing me when I said I didnt think I was stupid. The fact that this made me angry ironically illustrated the very point you were trying to make. Am I correct? A: Yes. Q: I apologize for my foolishness.

I am now ready to hear your answer. A: I have already given you my answer. Q: Which is to say that if I become angry at being called stupid, I believe myself to be stupid. I wonder if you might expand upon this for me. A: If someone calls you a bird, would you become angry? Q: No. A: Why not? Q: Because being called a bird is not an insult.

A: Very well. If someone were to call you a bird that was too stupid to flap its wings, would this make you angry? Q: No. A: Why not? Q: Because it isnt at all true. A: Yet when you are called stupid, it makes you angry. Because something within you entertains the possibility that you might, in fact, be. Then something else within you grows irritated by the idea that you might be.

This internal conflict manifests itself as anger. Q: I see. So, if not a single iota of a belief about being stupid existed within me, then anger would not arise. A: That is correct.

HOW DO I DEAL WITH A DIFFICULT PERSON? Q: I have trouble dealing with difficult people. What is the best way to deal with such people? A: What do you mean by deal with? Q: Ive never been asked that.

I suppose Im asking how to handle them. A: What do you mean by handle? Q: I dont know what to do in the presence of such people. A: Your troubles arise because of your insistence that they not be difficult. Q: Is it wrong to hope that someone not be difficult? A: Wrong does not exist. Hope leads only to disappointment. Q: So, what you are saying is to accept them for who they are? A: You will not be able to accept them for who they are.

Q: Then what do I do? A: It depends what it is that you seek. Q: I feel very uncomfortable in their presence. A: This is the most sincere statement you have made since you arrived. If you seek to be comfortable in the presence of difficult people, understand the source of the discomfort. Q: Isnt the source of the discomfort the difficult person himself? A: If this was the case, how could anyone in the world become free of discomfort? Q: I see your point. If the discomfort doesnt arrive from the difficult person, then please help me understand where it arises from.
