The second part of this evening’s message, has a similar thread to it, and that is one of personal integrity, [[personal]] [[identity]], and personal identification. I usually begin with a few questions: “Who are you? Who do you think you are? What do you think you are? Whom do you identify with?” If you are unable to find it within yourself, then go outside, and ask the question, “Whom do you identify with? What groups are as you are, that espouse similar outlooks and views?” You may [[wonder]] who you are when you belong to so many groups; you may wonder who you are when you belong to none.

Oftentimes, mortals on this planet and other planets join groups to help them achieve an identity, wholeness, an integration. Some people stay with one group forever, feeling always comfortable and on the other hand, feel threatened if they think about joining other groups, or that they might jeopardize their loyalty, or that someone might think that their loyalty is askew if they search in other groups. Is there an individual that you identify with? Who would that be? What values do they have? Are they a rock star? Are they a [[prophet]]? Are they a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_street Wall Street] executive, or are they the charitable individual down on the street corner who sends smiles to everyone, yet holding a cup while asking for donations? Do you seek a leader? A hero? A savior? Would you forsake yourself for that individual? Some people do in your societies, whether they are followers of gurus or followers of rock stars. They have lost themselves; they wonder who they are too. So when you come to these groups, bring yourself—all of yourself —be present here with us; share your thoughts, be one with yourself; do not forsake yourself for another. Each of you is the most valuable individual here, to us. The saviors on the outside are only guides. This one here is only a mouthpiece, as a guide.

In your identification of yourself, you may wonder and say and ask, “What can I do to help this Teaching Mission, the Correcting Time, to heal this world?” There are things that you can do, but it is important that you (be) come — that you be. There is doing, and there is being—which do you identify with? In our groups that we have developed over these years, we have asked people to do [[things]]; we have also asked them to be, to exist in a state of being of peace and of [[love]] and of [[harmony]], to radiate this, similarly as you were instructed tonight as you were in your [[meditation]]. This is the state of being, and when you go to the [[silence]], you connect with the [[I AM]], that more evolved state, that next step, that next stage of evolution in your (be)ing, where you seek to be in harmony with the I AM. And as you grow and as you become in peace and love, you will be achieving part of the I AM. Let us pause a [[moment]], gather your thoughts and ask a question if you have them. I will be glad to respond if I am able. (Pause)

So you see, once again it is the [[individual]], whether at the [[politics|political]] level or at the [[spiritual]] level, that truly is the resource of [[wisdom]] and [[rationality]]. When you get individuals in places of [[power]] who are not well integrated in their own [[thinking]], then they can cause great harm. But the mass of mankind and humankind can overcome that. That is why [[universal]] [[education]] is so important, that is why women need to be able to master their own bodies so that they might govern themselves and their families more powerfully. Women truly are the leaders of the future generations, even today, of your societies.

So you see, my friends, this [[Teaching Mission]] is a different kind of forum, this is not church, this is not your PTA, this is a different sort of thing. You may want to know more about the lessons of other groups as they have developed over the past. The value systems that I have spoken of are well known and I will not likely repeat them unless they are necessary. We will have, each time we meet, one brief lesson. Today’s lesson was about your own [[integrity]], your own integration, and not seeking others to heal or save you, but to help you and support you. You truly are the masters of your lives; your [[decision]]s form who you are and who you will become, and how you will live. And do not forget, my friend, it is the individual who chooses whether to live in tyranny or peace. You recall that the individuals during [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_ii World War II] on your planet, who brought about the destruction of so many millions of individuals, were given that power through the assent of those beneath them. Your [[voice]], your choices, your decisions, are vital, for your own life, for your family, for your [[community]] and for your world. And when you do not choose, others will choose for you. This may sound political, but it is not.
