It was of course an upsetting one. This does not mean that it was not a rather important occasion. Ruburt did not use his abilities in precisely the same manner in the past, simply because he was unable to do so had he been willing.

His abilities took in one way a giant step forward. True, you will want to use controls and discipline. The fact remains that the circumstances brought about an imminent development. If those particular circumstances had not occurred, then the next similar set of circumstances would have served the same purpose.

The development of abilities was necessary, and will show regardless of the particular way in which Ruburt may choose to use the abilities. The choice lies indeed with you both. It took a strong, remarkably strong, set of emotional conditions before Ruburt allowed himself as much freedom as the other evening.

The earlier drinks of course let down his guard, but it was the caffeine in the coffee that allowed the system to alert and direct the inner abilities on this particular evening. (Impatient gesture.) You should not be so fearful that you attempt to hold down the abilities. Neither of course should you let them be used indiscriminately.

Without the experience itself these particular abilities would not have developed—that of course or another similar episode. The same sort of development would not have been initiated here in a session for some time, simply because the emotional conditions would not be met. We can use the development however very well.
