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.

Our relationship should enable you both to deal more adequately with the outside world. I will never suggest that you try to escape it. Your development of the inner senses will not blot out the outer world. It will enable you to see it more clearly for what it is, and therefore you will be able to manipulate camouflage patterns more adequately.

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.

The bookcases should stay as they are, my dear Ruburt. Enough is enough, and you have optimum benefit from them. You should feel much better. The bedroom arrangement is fine, and if my dear Joseph will not blame Ruburt’s subconscious I would make one further suggestion that is not, however, to involve any more complicated arrangements on Ruburt’s part: simply, when it is possible, the addition of either a comfortable chair or a small desk and chair, quite simple, to your bedroom arrangement, as a more or less permanent fixture for a small private place, accessible when he wants it, for our so sensitive and sometimes pigheaded Ruburt.

Otherwise everything is fine. Ruburt should be satisfied. I suggest the bookcases as a permanent arrangement. These are, after all, only logical suggestions to make your daily living more comfortable, and therefore free your energies. Ruburt can calm down now. I never saw such stirrings and slammings and carrying-ons. The suggestion of a chair for reading or relaxation, or a small desk in the bedroom, is merely so that our wandering Ruburt can have one other place in another room where he feels he can go. It is merely a safety valve, but I do not make any of my suggestions lightly, though from Ruburt’s vehement reactions I shall certainly keep my suggestions mostly to myself.

A bedroom should also be a permanent fixture, as should a working room for Joseph.

Manipulation of camouflage patterns actually opens up inner abilities. You know by now that I am never suggesting time should be taken from your necessary art work. I am certainly glad that we are back on schedule. I do not mean to be fussy, and Ruburt did get a rather embarrassing flash from me before the session. I blush to admit the fact, but at one time I did call you Yoyo.

You should have many quiet sessions filled with accomplishment. I hope we have things on an even keel again. And remember, no harm can come to either of you through training your inner senses. Fear can hold you back greatly in these efforts. I would also suggest continuing your practice of getting out of the house on Saturday evenings, and though Ruburt is not a passionate hostess I would suggest that you have friends in. And also that you, Joseph, take walks or at least get out more often.
