(“No.” At our first discussion, though, Peg told me that a brother-in-law had just come into a tremendous amount of money as a result of lawyers fees, he is a lawyer, and a rich account. She then tied this in with an unpleasant episode in the past where there was trouble with another sister-in-law, and this brother-in-law, and thought that the money would now make this sister-in-law sit up and wonder about her own actions in the past.)

Our poor results in the last experimental data were directly the result of the fear which he finally faced. Fear under normal circumstances is immobilizing, as he most certainly now realizes.

But this lesson, learned, is a valuable achievement. He understood it, it would seem, of a sudden, but this was only a crystallization of knowledge. The habit of fear would have finally been reflected here in our sessions. I have to a large degree kept my eye upon him, but you see the lesson had to be learned by him.

This response to fear is a danger to psychic work, where freedom is necessary. In projections most of all the self must be mobile. Rapidity of perception, mobility of consciousness, openness of emotional response, are prerequisites for our work. The fearful spirit fears to leave the body, and fears to reside in it also. Ruburt has my congratulations, for he has now successfully passed a period of trial. He tried without involving you except when he grew more than usually discouraged.

We are scarcely beginning our work. It will grow through the years, and we shall achieve much. We shall in probability continue it in other existences. (Smile.) Basically however you see perception has nothing to do with the outer senses at all. These are dim receivers at best. Some of your dreams tell you far more about the nature of reality than the most vivid physical experience.
