([Rachel:] “I agree with you, I like brandy better. Now, the other night, the incident with my hand, was it my vivid imagination or something else?”)

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?

You think about it. There are some other connections. Give us a moment. Five, representing the five fingers and the ways in which the hand itself, with the five fingers, can operate in physical reality. Now these are symbolic images that you are not consciously aware of that were, however, behind the incident. They are objects, the five fingers, of manipulation in physical reality.

([Gert:] “Are you saying that by the incident I am still retarded?”)
