I am speaking now of disciplined relationships. When you avoid them or attempt to avoid them you both do so out of fear. Your personalities, work habits and goals are well set and secure enough not to be threatened in such a manner. You also Joseph have much to offer other individuals and through giving you yourself will grow.

It is a sort of psychic focus, a concentration of awareness along certain lines. As your ability grows in relation with the environment of your plane then you can afford to look around, use the inner senses, and enlarge your scope of activity. This is only natural. Survival on a particular plane depends upon your concentration in that plane. Again, when survival is more or less satisfied by attention then you can avail yourself of the opportunity to turn your attention elsewhere.

On your plane no action is really simultaneous and so time instantly enters in. You mentioned yourself Joseph—oh see, you can’t hide anything from me—you mentioned earlier—I’m sorry, Ruburt needs a short break. A short one, Ruburt, should suffice.

Seeing for example a crowd of people, even if you yourself were among the crowd, you cannot experience the feeling that you were experiencing when the picture was taken, and though you may see before you the pictures of people who stood in that crowd, neither you nor they can see or experience the emotions that they felt. There is much more to be said here. I must move into these things slowly.

I have friendships where I am of course. The one thing about your plane that makes it such a tempting field of endeavor for all of us here is of course that we still have ties of an emotional kind, and we attempt, though clumsily, to make contact with friends. As you yourself write letters to friends in strange countries and do not forget them, so we do not forget.

I’m afraid I haven’t learned humility yet. On the other hand you knew me before I knew Frank Watts, and my vanity was astounding. You were quite vain yourself, and as a woman you certainly put your present wife to shame as far as vanity is concerned.

I like Jane’s plant very much. Green things are a touchstone of your existence. You notice I do not use the word planet but plane, since you do not have the whole kettle to yourself.

(Jerry never should go there I’ve told you that, Mary. Forget the whole thing, there isn’t any need to get angry. The trolley went without him and the weather was poor. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, don’t blame yourself honey. 1913 May 8 PM. N.Y. City corner of 6th and —
