(To Colleen.) Now our friend over here of the cream cheese. You are doing very well. There are some breakthroughs yet that you will work through. That is all right, allow yourself the freedom to do so.

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 Giselle.) Now, I have a remark over here and it is this. You are still, to some extent, frightened. Now, this has to do in some regard to work you did in the past when it was highly dangerous to speak of your beliefs or to remember this code of ethics. So try to allow yourself greater freedom for the two of you can work very well together. Do not be too timid. Be courageous. He can use your courage also, and you need to taste it yourself.

(To Rachel) Now, in your own description of your experience you came close to making the connections of which I spoke, for the impression of the hand frightened you, that it was so old and decrepit and, subconsciously you connected it, at that time, with your foot when it was bad. You thought immediately in terms of the hand being old and dead. If you had not, the hand would have written. You were frightened for your own physical hand and, therefore, you stopped the flow of information that could have come. It was a subconscious connection on your part. You allowed yourself the freedom to begin with but then you interpreted the appearance of your hand as the hand of a very old woman and became frightened. Now, do you understand a little more? Then, by all means, have some brandy.

(To Florence.) You can, and listen to me, allow yourself more freedom. Now, as with Ruburt, oftentimes you believe you are allowing yourself intellectual freedom and being your most intellectual. You are, instead, allowing your intellect to be driven by subconscious rationalization. You are using it as a shield to prevent you from going further, and that is why I always take you up on it as I do the same thing with Ruburt. Do you understand what I mean?

Then allow yourself greater freedom. Now the intellect can be used and should be used beautifully to help you in your search but not when you use it as a shield to protect yourself against true reality. Now, you are progressing as your dreams show, and I am aware of that progression and so are you. Do not judge yourself against the performance of anyone else in this class. You are yourself, you have your own background to contend with and so when I tell you you are progressing I mean that wholeheartedly.

(To Ned:) Now this is for you, if you ever doubted it, so if you think you are being persecuted, you are doing the persecution. You are the judge. You are the person who hunts you down the years and the days. When you realize this, no other human being alive will have the power to hurt you or to hunt you. When you realize your own freedom then you are free. I am not as familiar with your terminology as our friend, Ruburt. Is the term nerfs or narcs? All right, you project upon him. He is hunting you because you are hunting yourself.
