Alturn(Bill): My brothers and sisters, I am Alturn. I [[desire]] to know you better and I have been [[gratified]] by this [[exercise]]. I understand the [[skepticism]] that several of you have expressed, including my beloved charge. Actually it is a sign of your [[intelligence]] that you are not willing to suspend the use of your [[minds]] in order to [[experience]] [[truth]]. Because you have this cautious [[attitude]] you avoid the pitfalls of [[emotionalism]], wish fulfillment, [[fantasy]] and over dramatization which are pitfalls of human [[mortal]] [[experience]]. Never fear that we are [[offended]] by your lack of [[faith]] in our [[presence]]. We are amused, yes, but never offended. | Alturn(Bill): My brothers and sisters, I am Alturn.
