Now give us a moment.(Pause.) The sessions with the pendulum are of great advantage. Your part in them is of particular benefit. I suggest, however, for this evening that you hold your pendulum session now and then return here for my comments. This should work very well, I believe.

Now. The yoga exercises are of great benefit. They aid in keeping the channels open between the conscious and subconscious. They help in ridding the personality of harmful influences, and in generating new energy. Ruburt should continue them by all means. He has a habit of ignoring his subconscious, trying to reach other centers, not by going through the subconscious but by attempting to bypass it completely.

Give us a moment. There is no need for him to punish himself now either, because he did not take full advantage of his psychic opportunities. He can more than make up for this from now on. There is one connection that should be mentioned and it can be quickly dispensed with when brought into the light. It is secondary but has had some effects.

He is by nature highly intuitive and should give his moods some freedom. When he attempts to deny or block what he considers unsuitable moods, outlets are denied them and the next natural cycle, the rising up of high spirits, does not come.

A psychic, he thought, should be calm, untouched by physical events, highly disciplined, rather than spontaneous, such as he was, and sensitive to inner moods, which he was. He attempted to make himself over and in a nearly disastrous fashion. For to his subconscious, such a personality pattern represented immobility, and this was reflected in the physical symptoms.

These were meant as checks against impulsive or intuitive behavior. He must then behave, he thought, in a measured, reasoned, quiet, calm and disciplined way: and to see that he did, he slowed down the motions the body could make. Now, this is the heart of the matter, and he would not let me give it earlier. He should, and indeed, must, be himself. Those qualities of his of which he became suspicious are those that made our sessions and his development possible.
