Barbara's Foreword

Through the years, many of you who have heard Aaron have asked for transcripts of his talks. A folder three years ago was a start. This was intended to be another such folder, but has evolved to this larger, more convenient and permanent form.

For many years we've met as an open group at least once a week to talk with Aaron, anywhere between 5 and 30 of us. Another study group has met regularly every week for four years. There have also been countless sessions with him in cities across the country, indeed, across the world. All of these gatherings have been taped and many of his opening talks and answers to questions have been transcribed.

This folder represents an attempt to select from thousands of pages those which will most clearly and simply share Aaron's basic teachings, for it really is all very simple.

Everything in this book is offered as it was transcribed from tape and as Aaron first spoke it. One edits a disincarnate entity with great care and respect. Where there are additions, Aaron has made them to clarify a thought. Any editing is of a grammatical nature and has been approved by Aaron.

This is a beginning. There is much that was omitted for lack of space. While a large volume is beyond our resources at this point, we hope this book is just a start and that a longer, commercially published collection of Aaron's talks will be a reality in the future.

Even as I hope for that publication though, I'm aware of Aaron's message that everything we really need to know is within us, and the direction to explore is within. The best he can do is to be a guide, a "signpost" as he often calls himself, saying, "Try this way." That directional pointer may lead us to better understand the work each of us is here for, to learn what we came to learn, to heal that which cries for healing, to explore within as courageously as we are able. In that spirit, this book is offered as such a guidepost which Aaron and I hope will lead you deeper into your own wisdom.

Aaron has done most of the choosing, and it truly is his book. I feel profoundly grateful to have had the opportunity to serve as a channel for him, to have worked with him in this selection process, and to know him as beloved friend and teacher.
