In this respect you and Ferd are both involved in a mutual learning process and development of abilities. Continued endeavor will result in benefits for you both. He has recently left our area of existence for another, and he has not yet sufficiently learned to operate within the new set of conditions. This is a fairly normal state of affairs.

Now. Perhaps it is unfortunate, and perhaps it is not, but if you are to become involved to any important degree in this particular kind of endeavor, then you must be willing to devote time, energy and concentration to that work.

Now. If you decide to devote this time, energy and concentration to these endeavors consistently, then you should indeed meet with success. Time is necessary, for certain portions of your personality must be given the opportunity to catch up with other portions. You have been doing very well. The breather and the change of environment is good for you just now. This is a rather a weighty endeavor, therefore you should indeed realize what it requires of you. If you are willing then you shall do well, for the abilities are indeed there, and you can learn to use them.

You will be here a while, and we shall take things step by step. I want you to realize first of all that such endeavors involve steady application over a period of years, for you should decide whether or not you are willing to devote such energy. An intensification of concentration will be required of you that is somewhat difficult to achieve.

You should learn from Ruburt’s experience you see, this evening and benefit from it in your own endeavors.

Now. If I sound severe with you (to Pete) it is only because I want you prepared for these endeavors if you choose to go on with them. You have done very well, particularly in regard to your youth, and you have my congratulations indeed. But not much has been demanded of you thus far, you see, and you must prepare to work if you want to develop your own abilities.
