This is a difficult procedure, and in all cases and in all developments of this nature, there must be no attempt made to browbeat the ego, for in this way lies schizophrenia and disorientation. Ruburt’s abilities now are beginning to develop. We are sure of our foundation, and this was most necessary.

His abilities will indeed improve to a large degree. Your own strength and balance and inner abilities provide a large part of the psychological climate in which we can operate. You also act, in that you provide both added energy and help Ruburt to receive these communications. I have promised you that I would explain more clearly the nature both of your abilities and their part in our venture, and so I will.

I am as you know a rather humorous gentleman. But someday we will have jokes that are not on me. You have not heard me laugh yet. It can however be arranged, according to the circumstances; for I do not laugh unless there is something worth laughing at, and we can arrange a good-natured harmless but amusing joke, at no one’s expense.

To a large measure Ruburt’s confidence has been won. It was most necessary that we go slowly, particularly in the beginning, for if our foundation was not strong we would have never progressed. The whole venture would have been lost. There is no fate in these matters. Our venture was not fated to be. Our venture represents gestalts of energy coming together in quite natural manners. It was necessary however that we meet in such a manner without clashing.

This is not done at all times, but the ego is not usually aware either of the motion nor of the other systems involved. Through your own abilities, and partially through circumstances that happen to be favorable, you are able with my help, to some degree, to add this experience of mobility to your natures and transfer the knowledge to the conscious ego.

We will later be concerned more deeply with this transparent mobility, for it operates within all systems. And without it your own physical system would not exist. When the nature and behavior of energy as it is seen in action is understood, and when it is applied to the mobility of the human personality, then such sessions as ours will be taken for granted, though this I admit will take a while.
