These six lectures are channelings spoken by me into a tape recorder late at night in my living room in Nevada City, California, during the winter of 1979-1980. On six separate occasions I was awakened as if shaken by an unseen hand and prompted to go to the living room and record these messages from a higher source. They were later transcribed to typewriter by one of my piano students. These versions are thus pretty close to identical to the orignal spoken versions.
