As far as Ruburt is concerned, there is no such danger. For one thing I am an extremely sensitive but disciplined, and sensible if somewhat irascible, gentleman, if you will forgive the term. None of the communications from me have been in any way conducive to a development toward mental or emotional instability. I may make bold to remark that I am more stable than you or Ruburt, or your fine doctor.

I also do not take my responsibilities lightly, and I feel to a great degree responsible for you, and for any results coming from your communications with me. If anything, the personal advice I have given you both should add to your mental and emotional balance, and should result in a stronger relationship with the outside world.

Also, Ruburt has experienced and used dissociation, though to a lesser degree, before our communications; that is, in his work, and knows how to handle it. I do not want either of you to be worried. On the other hand, I don’t want Ruburt to fight me, either.

We have gone into this before, and I have no doubt that we will on endless occasions; and if I succeed in convincing you of my reality as a personality I will have done exceedingly well. It should be apparent, and I’ve said this before, that my communications come through Ruburt’s subconscious. But as a fish swims through water, the fish is not water, and I am not Ruburt’s subconscious.

There is also a corresponding, but lesser, self-consciousness that connects your present personalities with the dream world, which is aware of its origin and communicates data from you to it. Again you are no more aware of your dream creations, and no less aware than your entity is of you, but in the last analysis you are aware and connected with your entity through this self-conscious part of you that faces another plane.
