Operating more or less normally, they work as a whole. You will experience them separately, in many cases simply because of your own ineptitude. This should not be too hard to understand since your own outer senses are often blocked so that you are not aware of any given stimulus at any given time. That is, you may hear sounds and consciously ignore them.

You are doing better than Ruburt, as far as your outside homework is concerned. Work with the ESP cards will be beneficial to both of you, since as you progress you will, through certain subconscious cues become aware of varying circumstances that will enable you to feel when you are coming through.

(Jane had done well today, working alone with the ESP cards. She said that she usually could tell, somehow, when she was having a good run, before results were checked.)

This is legitimate, but without the strange mixture of discipline and freedom already achieved in these sessions, such awareness would not be possible at all, and certainly this is something you will have to work at. It is not instantaneous by any means.

For purposes of sending records to Duke you may be best covered by using two, an operator and a subject. But for your own, or our own purposes, one is sufficient. I do suggest however that you both also work with the cards.

As far as the inner senses are concerned, they merge smoothly, one into the other, operating as a unit in what I will call pure unhampered circumstances. They work that way for me, for example, yet I must attempt to list them separately for you.

For example as I have said, the fourth or conceptual sense ignores what you call past, present and future, and so can appreciate a concept in its entirety, can actually experience the concept in much the same manner that you might work out an idea through a drama, if you follow me.

This sixth inner sense is concerned with the entity’s innate working knowledge of the basic vitality of the universe, without which no manipulation of vitality stuff would be possible. As, for example, you could not stand up straight in your physical universe without first having among other things an innate sense of balance.

(The 39th Session, March 30/64, Monday, found us both very tired, so tired that we did not actually want to hold it. Our routine had been changed by my taking a part-time job which necessitated our rising at an earlier hour. Since I paint in the afternoons, and Jane works out at her job, by nine at night we have already put in a full day. In addition, we had been invited out for supper.
