If Ruburt were going into very deep trance states such precautions would not be necessary. I prefer this sort of give and take however, which means that in many instances we must go slower, but we will be more sure of our results.

If at any time in the future there is even the necessity for a deeper trance on Ruburt’s part, I will let you know at the time and there will be nothing to worry about. But as a rule this will not be the case, and at all times Ruburt can use his own volition, giving or not giving his permission. This should relieve your minds on this point.

(“I was thinking that you have control of the trance state then, with Ruburt’s permission.”)

(“Just how do you bring about a trance state?”

I do not bring about the trance state in the manner of which you are speaking. Ruburt switches another channel on, through which my essence can enter more readily. There is the problem here of my entry also into your conscious minds. This does certainly involve a looking inward on Ruburt’s part, but it is not self-hypnosis in the terms usually spoken of, merely a focusing upon an objective inner stimulus in much the same manner that you focus upon an outside camouflage stimulus.
