In nature there are no accidents. If you do not take Ruburt’s word then at least listen to mine. You need not take mine but listen to it, and there are no accidents. Now, if you accept, my dear Lady of Florence, the possibility of the slightest, smallest, most insignificant accident then, indeed, you open Pandora’s box. For logically there cannot be simply one small accident, but a universe in which accidents are not the exception but the rule. A universe in which, therefore, following logically, your consciousness is a combination of an accidental conglomeration of atoms and molecules without reason or cause that will vanish into nonexistence forever even as, indeed, they would have come from nonexistence.

(To Sue.) Now this one over here. You are doing very well, as you know, in your dream work. You are doing well in your creative work also, and in your writing. You forget there are problems you must work through, and that in the struggle to create further creativity results. If you are satisfied with less, then you do not search further. Now, Ruburt’s way is too expensive. Your way you can pay, do you see the difference? You have your own way. It is too expensive to try to follow someone else’s way, and that is the message of the dream. Also, remember your own childlike self and the two of you, when you think of your son, imagine what you were like at that age and how difficult it was to communicate to your parents.

(To Ned.) And to this one, be gentle with that boy or you will hear from me. Do not think of yourself as an adult relating to him. Instead, identify with your own creative childlike self. Then you will find there are many similarities and that you can understand him and not feel frustrated sometimes. I want you to be spontaneously happy with him and to allow his spontaneous happiness to come across to you, and do not be a bitchy old dog. Do you follow me?

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?

I said earlier that two things were involved and one was fear. I did not say the fear was justified. I also connected it up with the foot symptom. Do you follow me now?

Feel it. You think one way, but feel another. Now, do you follow me? So, peace.

It is largely cultural in your particular environment. Now, in some native cultures this is not true, but you are learning to encourage spontaneity, and yet within certain areas there must be a concentration of abilities in the physical line and in this extent you are a teacher and you are learning as you teach them. You also experience their own frustrations, and this makes you angry. When you were a child you could be angry at the parent. When you are a parent you can feel the child’s anger but you do not know what to do. When you are a child you can blame the parent. When you are a parent there is no one to blame. Therefore, you are forced to ask about the nature of reality. You are angry because you do not understand, as yet, the nature of reality and you have no answers but you can learn the proper questions. You can learn to experience again that spontaneity and to encourage it.

You always travel. You are one of the most far-ranging travelers. It is your memory that is faulty, not your traveling.
