Now I ask you, briefly, to imagine that you are outside this room and looking down into this room and seeing yourselves without any great emotional feeling. Simply saying to yourself, “Oh yes, there we are and there I am.” I ask you to try to pick up a slight recognition, a feeling that there is more in the room than you can see; a slight recognition of your own inner selves; a slight recognition. Even that the pussycat is more than it seems to be. I ask you to realize that although you cannot see them, your own thoughts blossom as flowers in an invisible garden. I would like you to realize that within you always is a strong kinship and understanding. A kinship with All That Is that can never he denied, and that even when you doubt most, this kinship is there for it provides the basis of your being. It is always there, and if you look for it, but gently, you will always find it.

If probabilities continue, then two of you will develop quite well during this year in two quite different areas. One in automatic writing and one in psychological time. This year is nothing but a symbol and yet it is important to you and use it.
I have not said “Good evening” but I am now saying “Good evening.” There were two points I wanted to make. The development of which I spoke involved two students who are not now so involved. I certainly expect our “Dean” (Theodore) to continue with his own development. This involved automatic writing with someone who is not now so proficient. I also expect another member of the class to come awake in the dream state and to do very well after two years. I tell you all this to let you know that there is hope.

There is a difference. This one (Rachel) feels utterly dependent upon the position in which she spends her days and, therefore, it has primary importance. Vera’s attitude is different and, therefore she will not take one organ or position of the body and so strongly use it as a symbol. You will have instead symptoms and an overall undifferentiated feeling. She will not incapacitate herself in that manner. This is a tangent to your own position also. The immediacy, the feeling of urgency, is not here in the same way that it is over here (Rachel). The same freedom, however, is involved. You need to realize that you are (Vera) completely free to so change your position. Whether or not you change it is not important. That you feel completely free to change it is important. If the dilemma continued for any length of time, you could then develop a chronic ailment, though not of an incapacitating manner. The freedom and the feeling of freedom to move is the most important aspect in both cases. Do you follow me?
