We find here a situation this morning in which Ruburt achieved excellent communication with his own personal subconscious, spoke with it, giving it credit for being as important to the whole personality as the ego.

The personal subconscious and the ego are indeed equal partners in the formation of any given present personality. Ruburt’s results are evidence that his training is bearing fruit. Once such a relationship is set up between the ego and the subconscious, then communication in general between the two will always improve. The subconscious, even the personal subconscious, is much freer from the moment point than is the ego, and it can inform the ego of important developments which can be of great help.

This experience will be most beneficial. It will enable your present personalities to operate in a much more enjoyable esthetic, psychic and practically efficient manner. As you realize, I have little to do with the personal layer of Ruburt’s subconscious. It is merely something through which I pass.

I have explained through which layer of the subconscious I come, but my origin has nothing to do with any portion of Ruburt’s subconscious, not even those vast areas beneath the personal subconscious.

I am going to say more here concerning those characteristics of Ruburt’s whole self, which allow me to communicate with your field. Here, however, I merely wished to make the point that this communication between your own egos and your own subconscious must depend upon yourselves, and the easier the communication between the ego and the personal subconscious the greater the strength, abilities, potentialities and value fulfillment of the present personality as a whole.

Ruburt is only learning now not to scold and badger his subconscious. Again, all of this involves action within action. Now. It is the intuitive, spontaneous and psychically exuberant nature of Ruburt’s whole entity, for one thing, that makes it possible for me to communicate with you both.

The whole self of which Ruburt is a part is an extremely elastic one. The various portions of this whole self reach outward and inward with much more resilience than most. Therefore this whole self surrounds many more moment points simultaneously, using one moment point in particular as a reference or entry point.

I can then, therefore, enter the limits of your psychic comprehension. This is a very simplified version, but I must, so to speak, therefore journey through the various areas of Ruburt’s whole self, or inner self, until I reach a point where entry into your consciousness is possible. This happens to be the third undifferentiated layer of Ruburt’s subconscious.

I am usually able to escape the personal subconscious area in general. However, as you know I speak only for convenience, for there are no real barriers to separate these layers. They are simultaneous areas, that merge one into the other. For an analogy you may say that upon some occasions, though few, Ruburt’s personal subconscious layer expands so that I must travel through portions of it, and at other times it contracts and bothers me not at all.

Again, it goes without saying that I am not physically traveling through like a man on horseback through foreign territory. The traveling involves merely a change of focus, both on my part and somewhat on Ruburt’s part, for he is far from inactive, far from being a passive receiver.

This will all be explained in particular, rather than general terms at a later date. Suffice it to say here that such communications, again, represent the characteristics of motion in a more or less pure form. I will have something to say also, perhaps at our next session, concerning Ruburt’s experience this afternoon.

Therefore, to some extent we are part of one vast sphere of action; and it is relatively more easy, therefore, for us to communicate. You in particular, Joseph, can benefit through the development of an easy access of communication with your own personal subconscious. Our Ruburt is indeed at times heavy-handed. At times he badgers you, but his remarks concerning the importance and indeed the strength of joy, should be well taken.

Again, I recommend that you continue your walks, and that Ruburt put his psychological time experiments once more on a regular basis.
