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.

It was a kind of avalanche, however. This was simply because Ruburt did not know how to handle the new conditions. Uncertainty in such beginnings are understandable. The girl actually helped, as perhaps a midwife might. I realized what was going to occur, and I could have helped, shielding Ruburt to some degree. However the experience was more valuable left alone in any case, since you see what the conditions can be, and you can choose for yourselves.

Now, to avoid confusion, the girl is not a medium as, say, Ruburt is, according to your use of the term. I dislike the term. But the medium through which Ruburt traveled was the electrical and electromagnetic medium sent out by the girl’s highly-charged emotional condition.

There was also a triangle formed by you, Ruburt and the girl, highly charged on a subconscious level, that added to the psychological climate. The Jesuit (Bill Gallagher) and the cat lover (Peggy G.) were balancing factors. All of these conditions, these balancing and propelling factors, were necessary for Ruburt’s first realization of this particular kind.

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.
