The choice is hers to make. It should however be noted here that contact of this type, personal contact, does help. It has nothing to do with the particular abilities that are being used, per se. These operate quite as effectively through distance; and for that matter, though less often, through time.

At Ruburt’s stage of development however, he reacts as a result of emotional impetus, which is picked up rather directly, and which acts as additional energy in transmission. It is for this reason that he now and then does enjoy visitors to sessions, because he instinctively feels that he is thereby learning to manipulate and use these abilities oftentimes, and thereby learn the various subjective feelings that accompany valid perceptions, and to distinguish these from subjective feelings that turn out to be based upon invalid perceptions.

For training is necessary as with all things, and although Ruburt has excellent abilities he needs also, shall we say, such direct laboratory experience.

(In the 185th session Seth dealt to some extent with what he called Jane’s healing ability; one point he made was that the desire to help others would aid the development of this ability. Seth of course has given specific data on various physical ills for some witnesses, and for Jane and me. Whenever the advice was acted upon it worked out very well, whether the difficulty discussed was physical or psychological.
