Now. You have indeed many abilities to be developed, and you need to work in order to develop them fully. In later years if you continue, then you will find a considerable change in the Ferd (trance) personality. He is himself in a period of transition, and there are several difficulties that are operating.

In this respect you and Ferd are both involved in a mutual learning process and development of abilities. Continued endeavor will result in benefits for you both. He has recently left our area of existence for another, and he has not yet sufficiently learned to operate within the new set of conditions. This is a fairly normal state of affairs.

My friend Ruburt has told you that you must read everything that you can, and so you should. There must be a sense of almost severe integrity on your part at all times in connection with your abilities. You must have patience while these abilities develop, while Ferd learns to perfect his own communication process, and while you learn to perfect your receptive abilities.

(This material concerns a certain horse race in late August; Ferd had predicted Steve would win a bet on this race.)

I was in touch with your Ferd, briefly. [...]

Your own talents will take a somewhat different direction as your abilities and Ferd’s abilities join together in a workable arrangement. [...]

(I read from Pete’s list of questions: “Could you tell me something about the time I had the feeling of Ferd entering my body while I was lying on my side in bed?”)

[...] The sensation was your own reaction to the psychological presence of your friend Ferd. [...]

Ferd, in France, very approximately 1831, Versailles. [...]

(I read one of Pete’s questions aloud: “I typed some very deep emotional, almost poetical words one afternoon and felt Ferd was expressing himself in this branch of automatic writing. [...]

[...] On this particular occasion Ferd was not involved. [...]
