I get not your kind of storms. (Jane dictates:) But I’m not going into so-called weather on my plane tonight. I came halfway in on an interesting little experiment that Ruburt tried on his own, and you can thank me that he came out of it so well. Really, Ruburt, I’m surprised at you. In your past life you would have known much better.

It floundered like a wet rag in a foul wind. This all ties in with the personality fragments which we discussed earlier. In like manner the personality is divided, one part conscious of the primary self and another disconnected and waiting formation into something new. On a subconscious basis this is exactly how you both created the images at York Beach, the difference being that the personality split occurred on the subconscious level.

Ruburt, you will cease smoking within two weeks. For one thing it is harmful, and believe me I will go into the reasons at a later date. They are so little understood. For another, I refuse to sound like a hoarse horse. It is not good for my morale. Your voice is too sensitive and rough this evening for me to attempt any transformation of it into the more melodious accents of my own.

In your York Beach experience had you not been able through your peculiar creative abilities to form those images outside of yourselves, and so endow them with a physical reality, you might very well have instead turned yourself into schizophrenic personalities. Even your psychologists know that the schizoid is at least temporarily two personalities, a primary or dominant personality and an inferior one.

Many people are unable to endow fragments with such physical reality, and thus shove them more or less harmlessly away at arm’s length. It is as if in Ruburt’s great experience the other night that the dissociated part of the personality donned another identity and battled with Ruburt’s own for dominance.

And please do not think of yourself as some sort of male stenographer. Through means I cannot explain at this date I could not speak through Ruburt without you, and a kink in your own present personality would quite prevent me from communicating with you alone, if indeed Ruburt would allow it. And if you are not good I will have another cozy little chat that lasts until three o’clock in the morning.

Imagine further that you actually experienced the feeling of such a furry coat, and all the other feline equipment from the inside. Purely as a spectator this would loosely represent an analogy to my traveling to other planes. It follows that I could not travel to higher planes than my own, where more acute senses than mine would instantly perceive me. This sort of thing does not as a rule go on in your plane. Even with your limited senses you would perceive my presence, though my plane is further developed than yours.

The entity never dominates or tries to dominate a previous personality. Sometimes these personalities also travel divergent ways for their own benefit and with the entity’s full consent.
