Now give us a moment. (Pause.) The psychic work offers the personality a perfect method for development and unification. The hands and feet are part of the mother identification and are also important in another connection. Ruburt blames himself for running from difficulties in the past. This way he cannot run, you see, symbolically. He is forcing himself to face his difficulties, but thus far his hands are tied, you see.

The hand development came last when the personality realized that the problems were not being solved, and that symbolically, his hands were tied. He was left in a dilemma. Having decided not to run, yet finding he was not getting anywhere either. The answer, symbolically, is that movement can be toward, and not away from.

Movement can be freely in new directions, and movement does not necessarily imply a running away from. Ruburt, you cannot deny motion simply because motion can sometimes be used to flee from problems. You must allow yourself free motion.

There is very little danger that Ruburt’s ego would be suppressed. Even in psychic work, though generally speaking, of course, the connotations frighten the ego. The danger is that the subconscious be suppressed, and this is the only real time that Ruburt runs into difficulty.
