I want to make a brief comment because it may help you. Regardless, you see, of what Al thinks makes his eyes water (I am not going to get into your smoking problems!)—say that Al believes that his eyes water when it is 45 degrees temperature exactly. All right. Now he believes that that is reality. It is not reality—not rock-bed reality. It is experienced reality because he believes that when certain conditions occur this will happen. Now, each of you, in your own way, will react to different episodes, and so it is up to you to see how that operates in your own lives. But that is not rock-bed reality—it is one of many probable reactions, and you, through your beliefs, have settled upon that. Now as long as you believe that to be far more real than its opposite reaction, you are stuck with it. If you can see it as one probable reaction that you have chosen, and if you can see an opposite reaction as equally valid, then you can free yourself. And the same applies to each of you following that example. And now I return the floor to you.
