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.

Now, I will let you all take an unaccidental break. I have a warning for you—Ruburt is about to let his hair grow. If I hit myself on the head, I would want to know why.

(To Dennis.) You can discover the reason for yourself as Ruburt earlier told you, and it is your own self-training that is involved here. I am not the easiest teacher in the world. You must learn to find out the answer for yourself from yourself for this sets up communication between various layers of the self, and this is highly important for your own development.

(To Janice.) There is much better communication between you and your children but not as yet between you and your husband. Now this will come. As Ruburt would say, play it cool.

(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.

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 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?

(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.

Now, we have had 560 sessions with our friend, Ruburt, and our friend, Joseph, and many other sessions that they call bootleg Seth material, that are not in the records, and they are far from perfect so do not judge yourselves too harshly. Those of you who are ready will hear from me in the dream state this evening.
