Now over here we have great energy, and because I am aware of your conversations, strong power that is being withheld out of caution and fear. You have a strong core of energy tested too early and not under the best of circumstances, though at the time you may have believed so. You are much easier now, but at the time, there was an explosion of energy on your part that you did not understand, and you were afraid that in this explosion of energy you would go too far outward and there would be nothing left, so to speak, that you would get away from yourself and lose yourself beyond all hopes of recovery.

Now we have here, for all of your benefit, some examples, both here (Davey) and here (Mary Ellen) and here (Joel) of one particular phenomena. Out of humility I do not speak of myself.
(To Mary Ellen.) Now of the three cases mentioned, the greatest sense of stability and peace has been reached over here. The personality, therefore, has gone along well, and the process has been very slow. It will build.
(To Davey.) Now here we have a too early blooming of abilities before the overall personality was able to handle them, and we also have a great contrast in attitude for we have on one hand the determination to show up all fraud, and on the other hand, the fear underneath that our own experiences could somehow be fraudulent. And, therefore, you could not trust yourself and found yourself unable to continue. The dilemma came, therefore, and you avoided the field of endeavor.

I did it for our friend over here. I do it for several reasons because it is an excellent display of the use of energy and because it is fun, because it is active peace and because it shows you that the dead can be more livelier than those who think they are alive. And also to show you that the ego structure is not completely annihilated.

It is a gesture showing my exuberance. It is not always appreciated, but I can make a lovelier (word lost) and, as my close friends here know, it is also a very simple demonstration to show you that I am not a spooky old spirit at all. And that the emotions survive the body of which you are so proud.

This is only a preliminary and you (Joel) and you (Davey) will be here for the rest of it, for I am only dealing with your attitudes and emotions at this stage and as you understand them. There is far more to it than that, and there are reasons for your feelings that you do not as yet understand.
Now I must make myself friendly to our two young ladies over here, and say good evening to you so that you will not think that I am some spooky thing that comes in the night.

Now I will let you all take a break. I innocently said a break, meaning a Seth break, which means that I was not stepping in on our friend’s territory, which is simply an “in” joke around here. Now sometime I am simply going to keep Ruburt in trance during your break, and then I will circulate among you and add my comments to yours.

Imagine, if you must, that you have backdoors through which this energy emerges, fresh from the fountains of the universe. Now imagine this universe, imagine this energy connecting; focused, vital and strong. Close your eyes and imagine it in this room. Imagine all the energy that is available to you, here now, connected and send it outward to the woman in question. Send it through space and time easily through the vehicle of my voice. Use my voice, therefore, as a vehicle upon which unending energy can rise and let that power then of vitality and life and strength enter the body and spirit and mind of the woman and fill her with the feeling of vital life and give her the knowledge of herself that she now so desperately requires. Feel that energy glide as easily through the air as air currents; as naturally and as easily as the wind that feels both night and day. Feel it then fill her frame with vitality and strength and know that you have a part in this, and that through the part that you are playing are you also being filled with therapeutic energies and with vitalities that will rejuvenate your spirit and your mind.
