(To Theodore.) This will also help our Dean, here. (To Sue again.) For if your own fears for the individual become involved, then it is more difficult for you to perceive the reality. So, in your mind, step aside a few more steps, give yourself the suggestion that you will perceive the situation from another perspective. You will find then that the details become much more clear to you. Whenever you are working, particularly with yourself, this is a good idea. If the fears happen to be fears that you have yourself encountered, you will be drawn to them. You will perceive them particularly because of the associations involved. On the other hand, however, you will need to separate yourself then after the initial contact has been made. This is particularly helpful when you are face to face with the person for whom you are working for, you must not allow your own emotions to frighten them. Do you follow me?

It was not projection alone, but your own fears can act to attract the fears of others and then you bear twice the burden. Now only your fears, but those that you are perceiving, so therefore, let your own go first. This will give you a greater sense of freedom. Do you follow me?

Now and I will close my Ruburt’s eyes, so that no one knows to whom I am speaking. Under certain drug experiments, and experiences, the memories within the selves rise up and shout. The structure within the neurons is no longer a dead thing but the structure is a reality that speaks; and the reality speaks quite loudly in terms of heritage, of experiences encountered long before your physical form knew itself. You perceive realities of which the physical form is aware, but the ego is unaware. Now these realities can become a part of your awareness without drugs. You do not need them. You need merely to admit the vitality of your own consciousness. It is your own.
No one, Ruburt or myself, can have the experiences that you can have with your own consciousness. No one can learn to manipulate physical reality in the way that you can or understand the nature of their own consciousness in the way that you can. You have a unique experience ahead of you that is yours and can exist for no other consciousness in the universe. This is your gift, and this is your responsibility, for if you let it fall by the wayside, no one can pick it up for you and it can never be replaced. No one can ever have it for you. The visions of reality that are your own can be seen by no other. The journey into consciousness and reality that can be perceived by you can be perceived by no other. The particular vision of truth that can be received by you can be perceived by no other.
There is no mass truth. There is only individually recognized and acknowledged and experienced truth. Ruburt once said in a poem that truth was not a great bread to be broken among many. It is a bread created by each, perceived by each. Your thoughts and feelings created not only this reality, but all reality. Then do not hide yourselves from yourselves.
