(To Dennis.) I meant for him to allow himself expansion, both mental and physical and do not let him get bound up in his problems.

It was a combination of several things. Now, give Ruburt back his wine, and I will tell you. First of all, there were some elements of fear combined with fear having to do with underlying fears that you are having difficulty—in the physical universe, and you acted this out with the hand. This also had to do something with the leg and the foot difficulties earlier, both being limbs and objects of manipulation in physical reality. Now, the hand also represents freedom. The incident represents two opposites. One of freedom as the hand, as a hand being able to rise. And the other, lack of freedom, as for example, the hand not being able to move. You were objectifying, in your mind, two opposites and attempting to correlate them. Do you follow me?

(To Ned and Sue.) I will have something to say to you, and to you, at another time when class is not involved, but I want you to jump together on the same stick. Did that come across? It will hold the both of you. Reality is not so precarious that you cannot both do your own thing and find a secure framework to hold you, for it will indeed.

You magnify the differences of culture as a background and idea instead of realizing that you are both human beings embarked on a magnificent adventure. Travelers in a space and time that you have both created. Actors wearing different masks, but in a play that you have both created.

Now, I have been both a mother and a father many times and so I understand your problem but the fact is this. When you are a parent it is impossible for you to completely remember your own childhood or to understand the feelings of consciousness that are growing at that time. Now, as a parent, your chore is to train a consciousness to manipulate in physical reality. The consciousness, by that time, far more free than your own and you are quite jealous of their spontaneity and of their inner understanding. They do not have to hoe the line as you do and yet, you are supposed to teach them how to hoe the line.
