(This afternoon John Bradley, who was our witness for the 26th session, stopped in to ask if he could be a witness for the session tonight. He also wanted to borrow my studio for an hour to make up a chart for one of his medical displays. He thought he might miss the beginning of the session while working in the studio, but the informality of the idea seemed good. Jane agreed when I picked her up after work.

(By 8:50 Jane’s hands were cold and clammy and I could see that she was nervous. Yet she said she felt better than usual, and this was true with a witness present also. She was satisfied that the approach was a good one.
(As session time arrived John was still busy in my studio. The doors were open from the living room though, and he could hear plainly. Promptly at 9 PM Jane rose to her feet and began dictating in a voice that was quite firm and clear, and somewhat stronger than her normal one.)

With your clock time it is very difficult for you to conceive of large concepts to begin with. You are forced to think using word symbols strung one before the other, and therefore you are imprisoned by a camouflage of continuity.

I am sorry that I cannot give him a review. However, I held up much material the past few sessions, as I dealt with fluttery Ruburt’s ego. I trust we have that sort of thing under control. The best thing when you are standing on a diving board is just to plunge in, Ruburt. This teetering back and forth, shall I jump or shan’t I, is done with, I hope. He jumps, so to speak, in the water— but he jumps, no one else. The element is different, and that is all.

All this preliminary chitchat is necessary, I’m afraid. While you still deal with words I must work with words, strung one before the other. Most unfortunate.

Concepts have what we will term for now electrical and chemical composition. Nothing exists in any universe or on any plane that does not have form of one sort or another. You may not be able to perceive the form but it always exists. Direct experience of a concept therefore involves the transformation of one pattern into another.

Philip, earlier, mentioned hypnosis. Existence on your plane or any other plane is merely self-hypnosis. As far as an analogy is concerned, this one is very nearly perfect. Your existence, and mine for that matter, on any particular level is predetermined by complete concentration or focus of inner selves upon the particular universe in question. And your camouflage patterns can most aptly be compared to the hallucinary effects created by the hypnotist upon his subject.

By following the seemingly impractical, seemingly idealistic, foolish course, you will discover that it is the only practical course, and the only one which will even give you the material prizes that you would desire.

One man you have known in a previous life. There was a debt involved which was paid off. There is no need now for you to humiliate yourself to seek his favor, as you have paid off in full your debt to him. There is also a man’s wife who would intuitively know what you were up to. Such practicality doesn’t seem very practical to me.

You may consult me when you wish. At this point I will not give you definite names for two reasons. One, the possibility of subconscious distortion on Ruburt’s part. This should vanish in time. And two, because of the direct effect upon you of such knowledge.
