There are a few points that I would like to make of a general nature. Ruburt has been reading Jung, though not consistently. The libido does not originate in the individual subconscious of the present personality. It originates instead in the energy of the entity and inner self, and is directed by means of the inner senses, outward so to speak, through the deeper layers of the individual subconscious mind, then through the outer or personal layers.

Your Freud and Jung have probed into the outer, personal subconscious. Jung saw glimpses of other depths, but that is all. There are rather unfortunate distortions occurring in Jung’s writings, as well as in Freud’s, since they did not understand the primary, cooperative nature of the libido. We will involve ourselves in a much more thorough study along these lines, as we come to another body of subject material.

The cooperation can be joyous, given freely on subconscious and conscious levels, or it can be given in a grudging manner, but it will be given.

Also since you have both been reading the Cayce book, I have a few comments. Our material speaks for itself, and many of Mr. Cayce’s comments are extremely valid and should be helpful to you. He outlined, as you know, some of the dangers in undisciplined dabbling with the subconscious, and I have also hinted that certainly some could, and did, exist, which is why we have progressed slowly and surely, in a disciplined manner.

We are bringing all aspects into balance this way. Ruburt’s personality has held itself in excellent bonds, being flexible, and it is this flexibility that is extremely important. It is this flexibility, in both of your personality patterns, that gives us needed strength and balance, and I am speaking now of a subconscious flexibility, basic to your personalities.

A rigid personality pattern, held tightly in a vice of shall we say extremely immobile, subconscious psychosis, is unable to find release through healthy channels, and cannot arise into the mobile world of creation.

Anything rigid breaks easily when any new pressures are applied. Therefore, when such a rigid, psychotic personality suddenly discovers a way for release through opening the subconscious, then the rigid rock at its core explodes into a lava of uncontrollable fantasy; and the terror at the base of such a personality is then externalized, and the individual forced to face under the worst possible conditions, those personal disruptions buried for so long.

I wanted to state that whatever personal neuroses you both have, and everyone has some, you are certainly no exception, these because of the fluidity and flexibility of your subconscious makeups, have been rather efficiently used through sublimation in your own creative activities.

With these precepts no one can find fault. It is true that the outward manifestations of the libido are directed toward the physical world, but until the source of the libido is seen and studied and known to exist, not in the topmost subconscious layers of the individual, and not even in the racial subconscious, but within the entity itself, then man will not know himself.

Freud courageously probed into the individual topmost layers of the subconscious, and found them deeper than even he suspected. These levels are indeed filled with what may be termed life-giving and death-tempting differentiated and undifferentiated impulses acquired in the present life of an individual. But when these have been passed there are many discoveries still to be made.

What Freud did for the personal layers of the subconscious we and others like us must do for the furthest reaches.

There is no invasion of Ruburt’s mind or subconscious on my part. He allows us to communicate. My name for him is Ruburt, which happens to be a male name simply because the name is the closest translation, in your terms, for the name of the whole self or entity, of which he is now a self-conscious part.

There is no danger of either so-called (in quotes) “unhealthy or evil or demon, or uncontrolled spirits,” (end of quote), finding access to the door in the subconscious which Ruburt has opened. Such demons, as a rule when they seem to–

–suddenly burst forth, have long been hiding in the personal subconscious, and are indeed unfortunate creations of a psychotic mind. There are none of these in Ruburt’s subconscious mind.

Luckily, and this applies to both of you, any unhealthy aspects of strong subconscious formation find access through your own creative works. The closed and dangerous subconscious is that one which is closed both to inner depths of inspiration arising from the inner self, and also to outer doors of expression.
