Ever wonder why we are here?

"No, you haven't got a body because you are trapped in a body. You must have a body because you somehow or another want to be here. Maybe some amongst us consider that you're a knucklehead for wanting to be here on this planet. Maybe we figure you weren't very smart for picking out the particular sphere of beingness that you decided to be this time.

"But nevertheless we have to decide that you must have had some part in being here. I don't think anybody had a gun on you, a thetan, when you picked up that body. I don't. I think you picked it up because you wanted to be here.

"Well, if that's the case, then, what's wrong with being here? You still must find something a little bit wrong with being here, otherwise you wouldn't kind of protest about being here while on your own determinism being here. ...

"Well, now how would you feel really if you were here and didn't feel anything wrong with being here and felt that you had every right to be here, and felt that you had every right to adjust your environment so it was happy to be here too? What kind of a society would this make? Boy, that'd sure look like a different society, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?

"That's what we're doing. That's all we're doing."
