SESSION 323

Now when you use the word I, more and more, this is the portion of the self of which I spoke in our last session. You are aware of the ego and able to see yourself as something more than the ego is. This is the I that you have been using in the pendulum sessions, that questions both the ego and subconscious. These are all portions of the self, however; the difference is functional.

In those terms you could call it a part of a more expansive portion of the self, the only part that you are so far able to experience in your usual conscious terms. Ruburt has been using this part of the self automatically in the pendulum sessions, and in giving suggestions. You have appealed to it also.

One or two excellent self-hypnosis sessions a week will speed up complete release of symptoms. The more psychic energy he uses at such sessions, the speedier his progress. We are not dealing with time, but intensities. Intense concentration to other areas, you see, will take him out of the habitual patterns.

The intensity of interest in other directions is much more important than time. We do not want intense concentration upon the symptoms. In all hypnotic sessions and in all periods of self-suggestion, emphasis should indeed be upon health, exuberance, flexibility, strength and vitality. I mentioned this to Ruburt today, but he thought the idea his own.

Now you may take a break or end the session, as you prefer.

Now we will close our session. I would be willing enough to do an envelope test, but presume you would rather wait.
