We are concerned with our material. Witnesses however are beneficial for the development of his own confidence, and the development of his own confidence facilitates the development of his abilities.

There will be a period of relaxation following the completion of his book, and during this time there will be a release of psychic energy that he will use most beneficially. He forgets to open up when he becomes overly concerned about his abilities. However, in the dream state he has been teaching himself to achieve greater freedom, and the results will show.

His book will be successful in many ways, and there will be other such books. On a subconscious basis Ruburt actually suggested his recent levitation dreams, with most effective results.

I am not primarily concerned with effects, as you know. They can be beneficial however from several viewpoints, and they can also give Ruburt confidence. Any such effects however will happen within the framework of our sessions, and we must always work in an atmosphere of mutual integrity.

Abilities unused by the waking personality are utilized in the dream state. A study of dream activities will often allow the waking personality to recognize abilities of which it is not aware, to discover talents that are not being used. Such a study can be most beneficial in allowing the personality to utilize all of its capabilities. There is no doubt that the whole self is a composite formed by the various aspects of the personality as it is seen in the waking and dream states, and at other levels of operation.

There are levels of which we have not yet spoken. The repository of potentiality however is contained within those layers that are not conscious. As a rule the ego chooses those elements from this repository which it feels will be most beneficial in dealing with physical reality.

In actuality the ego itself definitely benefits by allowing greater flexibility. It does become more active, and to some degree more permissive under such conditions, but the flexibility involved adds to its strength in beneficial ways.
