(Theodore had been discussing the trouble he was having in psy-time.)

Now, each of you had to recognize your own emotions and your own feelings this evening, to one extent or another. This is your reality. You are used to hiding from them, and the more feelings you inhibit the more you inhibit your natural joy and spontaneity. And, to some extent, our friend over here is correct in that you can use sensitivity sessions themselves as simply another mask, in which case you never show yourself. Instead you display whatever mask you feel is required, which is after all another part of the social game that you always play. When you are doing psychological time, however, you cannot afford to be using energy to hide your own emotions from yourself. You need a feeling of release, you need to be friends with yourself so that you can let your abilities flow freely.

Now, I try to show you all, whenever we have a session, that what you are seeing and hearing is a demonstration of the nature of human personality. And you all have human personalities, so therefore the abilities that are shown in this room are examples of the abilities that you have within yourselves waiting to be developed. I am referring here to many things. I am referring, in the main however, to a deep feeling of oneness with other human beings. The ability to open yourselves up enough so that you can bear to understand the reality of another individual. The more terrified you are personally, the less you dare let down your guard, and you build up psychological walls to protect you. You shove aside the problems of others because they simply remind you of your own. Now, using psychological time and learning to be spontaneous, you can free these abilities within yourself. It will not be an intellectual matter of thinking that you are a part of All That Is. It will, instead, be an emotional awareness of that relationship.

Now, I know that you are all worn out after such deep psychological probing this evening, so I will say goodnight to you all.
