(To Laurie.) Now what Ruburt said to you I would like to reinforce ten times: It is like a woman in the rain who carries an umbrella, and instead of using it, she says, “Well, it is raining too hard. I do not want to get my hands wet or put up this umbrella.” And so she carries the umbrella and remains soaking wet. So you have not been using your abilities in your family relationships.

Consciousness has its built-in protection. But when this is not spontaneously admitted and when out of fear of evil it is repressed this is when it gains additional charge. And so for release that it turns into violence, both individually and en masse. You are so afraid of violence that you do not try to understand what lies behind it. Or the creative nature that lies within it. Violence is a distortion of a thrust toward activity and when you realize this you can use it creatively. When out of fear you try to pretend that it does not exist or, on the other hand, you fear it so drastically that you shove it under, then it is magnified and can do damage.
