Now some night for a small demonstration I will have Ruburt come up from his present state through the various stages of consciousness so you can see them. He is plunged so quickly to the level that we want, you see, that oftentimes he is not aware of the intervening stages. But you will have no difficulty starting with the stage that was discussed here this evening, and each of you know intuitively what that stage is. And you will all learn what true communication is, for you will learn to communicate in various levels of consciousness and you will learn to listen to me in various levels of consciousness, and you will learn to know me in various levels of consciousness so that you can see (feel?)[sic] beneath the words as well as hear the surface of the words.

Now I am shortly going to close my session, but I have a few words for you. Now, as Ruburt told you, the Alpha I state is an adjacent state of consciousness, and when he has talked about it he has spoken about going below into other deeper layers, and also in his mind, he also has the idea of going above into other layers.

([Joel:] “Since Peter came home from visiting his grandfather, he has been stuttering. Could you give us any insight into that?”)

And not of the man himself, but of a difference between the man and yourself. A difference in the behavior of two personalities that he holds dear. Now give us a moment here. He has been identifying with you as his male image. There are some adjacent personalities about your home which also serve as semi-images in this respect. When he is away from you, however, in his particular case, any characteristics that are not yours that he sees in his grandfather somehow become threatening. He wants to identify with both of you. He wants to think of you in some manner as one. Any individual differences between the two of you upset him. When the two of you are together, you and grandfather, there is no difficulty because the boy, in his own mind, interweaves these characteristics. When he is alone, however, with the older man, any characteristic of his that does not agree with yours becomes threatening to him.

Now this is an individual thing as far as the child is concerned, and if you give me a moment we will try to find out why. In his previous background there were some problems having to do with authority figures.

I am speaking of the past. Now he cannot stand to feel loyalty divided. He must feel his complete loyalty to you or to another. He cannot seem to divide the two. When he is with you, his loyalty is yours. When he is with the grandfather, however, he relates to those characteristics that are like yours. Any characteristics that are different upset him and frighten him. They confuse his sense of loyalty and he feels that he is supposed to relate to the grandfather as a male image when he is away from you. He feels that this will hurt you, but more than this, it makes him feel insecure. We will try to go deeper into it for you. The hesitation, however, is translated into the speech mechanism.

This has to do, again, with the confusion, in his particular case, of loyalties. He has the feeling, I will not say he has been given the feeling, but he has it, that his father demands a strong emotional attachment on his part and deep loyalty, and he relates strongly to him for this reason, but when the father is absent then he experiences hesitation.

Now there is some sense of jealousy in the family over the child that the child senses and this, also, has to do with his sense of hesitation in speech. I will try to give you more specific information. Do you follow me thus far? The child is presently caught in a dilemma of divided loyalties. You should particularly make sure that you allow him psychic freedom and not emotionally bind him.
