You have found your place, my son.

You come like a lamb,

But don't forget, you have a wolf in you as well.

Look: Can you find the force to enable these two quite opposite lives to live together in yourself?

Listen carefully: This will not happen by itself.

It is not enough to just think about it, to dream, to wait... At any moment the wolf can devour the lamb - And you must learn what it means to become responsible.

This is an exact science - and that is why you are here.

I will now put you into the hands of someone in whom you can feel complete trust.

Go and look and see what is happening in the courtyards - there are movements, exercises, dances...

Afterwards, come to me and tell me what you have got from them.

I will then be able to tell you, what to do next.

--- ----- -------

I thought I'd lost you forever. -

I am happy you got here yourself, without my help.

It proves that during this time, you haven't been asleep.

--- ----- -------

Listen:

You have now found the conditions in which the desire of your heart can become the reality of your being.

Stay Here - until you acquire a force in you that nothing can destroy.

Then - you will need to go back into life, and there you will measure yourself constantly with forces which will show you your place.
