(“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.)

He has indeed now learned one of the most basic lessons of his life. Had he not learned it, there would have been further difficulties. A man uses his abilities according to the extent of this realization. The notes he wrote should be faithfully read, as he intends each morning, for some time.

He has been going through such a time. He decided to make the journey. He is now returning, and he has learned much. Without the experience his abilities would not fully develop. You went through your own journey and also emerged some time ago.

You and I were quite right in advising Ruburt to face this through without the treatment of a doctor or chiropractor. I (Jane pointed to herself) you see, would not necessarily give this same advice to someone else. He was on several occasions about ready to visit your Piper. (The chiropractor.) I wanted him to face the symptoms for what they were, and to find the cause. Apparent causes came and went, and would continue to do so had he not—with, my friend, your help and mine—found the master cause.

Fear, and a complete, if sometimes momentary loss of confidence, was the basic cause that led to retreat and the physical symptoms. Fear itself is damaging as such, particularly when it is anticipatory. He knew enough so that this was partially counterbalanced. Otherwise he literally would have been in worse shape.

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.

There are many other experiences encountered in projections and in ordinary living, you see, that are not translated into physical terms, for in physical terms they would have no meaning. The basic assumptions behind them would not be understandable in physical terms.
