"When learning about the Source, I did not have a teacher to teach me in regard to the Source or the Father. It was an experience of simplicity that all take for granted, as it were indeed, which is a good and proper term to be used in this society. I learned, as it were indeed, from the weather. I learned, as it were indeed, from days. I learned from nights, as it were. And I learned, as it were, from tender and insignificant life that seems to abound in the face of destruction and war. Who was the teacher unto my being was the Source."

"In not having the privilege, as it were indeed, of education and that which is called the sciences, not having the privilege to express as a human being, it was nigh out of hate, unexplainable hurt, and despair, and sorrow that I had no-thing else to challenge, except perhaps the reasoning that brought me here. I did not know at that time that I was the reasoning that brought myself here. You see? But out of that, and learning indeed how to comprehend an element that I found more forceful than man, an element I found much more intelligent than man - an element that I had I found that could live in a peaceful coexistence beside and in spite of man - it must be the Unknown God. And it was the elements, dear entity, that taught me, you see. And I am very fortunate, for being taught by the elements and reasoning with them, I had none to say that I was wrong. And the elements never taught me failure, you see, because they are consistent. That is how I learned."

"I learned from something that is consistent, that is never failing, that is easily understood if man puts his mind to it. And because of that, as it were indeed, I was not at the hands of the hypocrisy of dogma or superstitious belief or multifaceted Gods, as it were indeed, that you are trying to please or the stigma, as it were indeed, that perhaps we were lower in perfection and could never obtain it. I was never at the hands of that kind of teaching. That is why it was easier for me to do in my one existence what it has taken many a millennia to do, because they have looked for God in another man's understanding. They have looked for God in governmental rules, in church rules, in history, that they never even question who wrote it and why they wrote it. They have based their beliefs, their understanding, their life, their thought processes on something that life, after life, after life has proven itself a failure. And yet man, as it were indeed - stumbling in his own altered ego, afraid to admit to himself that perhaps he has erred - continues, as it were indeed, the steadfast hypocrisy that only leads to death."

"I was most fortunate, entity. The sun, it never cursed me. The moon never said I must be this way. The wind teased me and tantalized me. And the frost and the dew and the smell of grass and insects to and fro and the cry of a nighthawk, you know, they are unfailing things. Their science is simple. And the wonderful thing about them I learned, entity, did you know in their steadfastness they utter not one word? The sun did not look down at me and say, "Ramtha, you must worship me in order to know me." And the sun did not look down at me and say, "Ramtha, wake up; it is time to look upon my beauty." It was there when I saw it, you see."

"That is the beginning. That will never fail you. That will teach you cleaner, clearer truth than anything ever written by man."
