Again, also I have said nothing about Ruburt’s change in status at the gallery, for my own reasons. And it will do you no good to ask me what they are.

Ruburt is blocking a picture of Philip. I see him in a kitchen, and among some disagreement—disagreements, on this date.

Ruburt is blocking me. Perhaps two women and a man, and loud voices, with a child listening close by.

I would add–not to this–that of late Ruburt is learning to let his subconscious mind work for him, rather than against him; having to do with the gallery. I am not going to have these sessions deal with mental tricks, even though the end would be a good one. The demonstrations of this sort will always arise spontaneously, and the spontaneous data that so arises will usually be accurate.

In a deep trance we could tell you much, Ruburt and I, but I still agree on the principles of cooperation, and always follow the dictates of caution. Ruburt’s abilities along these lines are great, but it is necessary always that certain controls are maintained; and he certainly sees to that!

Mark may not remember his dream. Ruburt has the sometime habit of recording his dreams, and an interpretation of them at some times would be helpful. And really now: a fond good evening. As always I could go on for hours, and here you are, weary after the long day. I know I should take pity on you. Will I?

Remember, I look in on you now and then, and I look out for those close to you. If I am not a guardian angel, I do a fairly good job of approximating one’s duties, with little thanks, though I do hear vague glimmerings of appreciation. And Ruburt’s energy could still be directed to more constructive ends.

One note. You both can and should learn to utilize your energies in the same manner that Ruburt utilizes his energies during a session. His fatigue is not only forgotten, but he is no longer fatigued although his working day was personally exhausting.

Mark is considering a commitment to an idea. Unless he studies himself most thoroughly, he must take great pains to see that the commitment is followed up by self-discipline. You should see to it that your self-discipline follows the dictates of intuition. If you will excuse the comment, Ruburt is either all self-discipline or all intuition.

I am treated like an enemy, though with a kind face. If my suggestions came from Ruburt’s subconscious mind alone, and they do not, they would be valid for you both.

There must be a balance, and there shall be. Indeed, there is here, between intuition and discipline. But I do know laws of energy that neither of you are acquainted with. Far be it from me to tamper with Ruburt’s precious ego. The assistant to the director of the Arnot Art Gallery is not to be tampered with indeed!

I suggest something. I will say good night. If I feel like going on for hours, it is because one year ago tonight I first made contact with Ruburt—at least a subconscious initial contact of which he was not consciously aware. The year has been a good one, even though my practical suggestions have not been followed, your situation has improved in line with the laws of expectation.

Ruburt might squawk, but he has nothing to squawk about. I keep him in shape, and I’m afraid I’ll have to do the same for you. And so good night.
