I remember a prayer I was taught as a child. “Lord, I am not worthy¹ that Thou shouldst enter under my roof. Yet say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.” You have said these words, and I feel healed. I no longer feel unworthy. You have a way of making me feel worthy. If I could give one gift to all human be-ings, that would be it.

You have given them that gift, with this dialogue.

I would like to keep on giving it when this conversation is over.

This conversation will never be over.

Well, when this trilogy, then, is complete.

There will be ways for you to do that.

For that, I am very happy. Because this is the gift my soul yearns² to give. All of us have a gift to give. I’d like this to be mine.

Go, then, and give it. Seek to make everyone whose life you touch feel worthy. Give everyone a sense of their own worthiness³ as a person, a sense of the true wonder of who they are. Give this gift, and you will heal the world.

I humbly⁴ ask Your help.

You will always have it. We are friends.

Meanwhile, I am loving this dialogue, and would like to ask a question about something You said before.

I’m here.

When You were talking about life “between lives,” so to speak, You said, “You may re-create the experience of your in-dividual Self whenever you choose.” What does that mean?

It means you may emerge from The All anytime you wish, as a new “Self,” or the same Self you were before.

You mean I can retain, and return to, my individual con-sciousness, my awareness⁵ of “me”?

Yes. You may have, at all times, whatever experi-ence you desire.

And so I can return to this life—to the Earth—as the same person I was before I “died”?

Yes.

In the flesh?

Have you heard of Jesus?

Yes, but I am not Jesus, nor would I ever claim to be like
