I also hope that you both realize how your abilities have begun to ripen, and how our sessions have led you into an increased awareness in all avenues of focus and activity. We are as I have told you going slowly, and yet the progression will be a steady one that rests upon disciplined sensitivities, without those possible dangers that can result when there is an overly intensive or fanatical attention to one line of focus, and a lack of disciplined understanding.

It is no small feat. The maintenance of overall equilibrium has been excellently maintained, with nevertheless optimum results as far as the development of your psychic abilities. The early stages of our sessions were the crucial ones in that respect. Yet there is always the necessity of maintaining an overall balance of spontaneous inner freedom with disciplined attention. Both are required.

Now. The experience involving your landlord, his wife and his deceased father, was a legitimate one; but one that I should like to use as an example for a rather long discussion of questions directly resulting from some recent sessions. That is, the question as to the survival of the physical image after the point of so-called death, and the lingering about the physical plane of portions of the personality.

Such a development would result in the strengthening of her ego, in added self-confidence. And her abilities are strong enough so that they do operate with some efficiency when her ego does let down its guard.

We shall discuss this later. A personality, or personalized energy, is never destroyed; but transformation of form remains a necessity for continuation of each personality, and in some cases an emotional denial on the part of the living, of this fact, can lead to resistance in so far as the personality of those no longer connected with the physical field. This resistance must then be coped with, and results in difficulties that could be lessened through understanding on the part of those so-called living.
