The word excess may be a poor one. Perhaps the word abundance of chemical energy would be more correct. The chemical energy is above that which is ordinarily needed by the individual physical organism, yet it must be used. The utilization comes about subconsciously.

As emotional storms may be the result of a lack of discipline or of knowledge, or of control of one or more portions of the self, bringing about a corresponding exaggeration or growth of other portions of the self, so also erratic physical storms come from the same causes on a collective basis, but with the energy directed outward and often turned to a constructive purpose. Though this is not always the case.

A physical storm may, as you know, be far more disastrous than an emotional one. But a physical storm is a collective endeavor, and can be compared, if it is disastrous, only with disastrous collective emotional storms such as those that sweep across nations, when all minds seem seized by irrationality.

We shall, then, take a very brief break for Ruburt’s benefit, since I always give him one after this sort of material.

The initials D G may be the ones that I have been after here.

Ruburt’s ego now contains elements that did not at one time belong to it. It contains portions of the self that are—I hesitate, you see, to say superior, for he is not to get conceited—but portions of the self that contain more abilities than those usually held by the ego.

This is meant indeed to encourage you. It is not meant in any way to give Ruburt the idea that he is superior to anyone else. You both have the responsibility to use all of your abilities, and this is perhaps the one thing that is required of you.
