Our young friend here has many questions. His mind is buzzing with them. He is so impatient. There is one question however that I will indeed answer now, and it has to do with the delight with which he views fire.

The light of fire has a soothing effect upon his nervous system, a relaxing effect. Not only fire is involved here, however. There is a tendency for spontaneous dissociation that has always been characteristic, and this tendency is simply given freedom when he stares into flames.

Now there is a tendency here emphasized because of youth. This tendency actually involves a lack of focus, or a lack in the direction of focus. Our young friend shifts the focus of his awareness from inner to outer realities very often, and without realizing that he does so.

As he matures and learns, and studies and works, he will then be able to do this when he wishes to do so. There are no significant unhealthy elements connected in this rather innocent regard for fire. Now. The shift of his consciousness is unsteady. He has no discipline over it, and is sometimes in a state of consciousness that is between. Training will allow a strong disciplined focus within either reality.

The owner of his own business. (Pause.) The town situated between one mountain range and a smaller plateau, rather midway between the north and south portions of the country. In the second group of states now, or from the West Coast… But more to the eastern section of this second group, you see, to the inside.

You may take your break now and we shall continue… Our fire-loving young friend here can watch Ruburt light his match.

In the beginning of our relationship our communication was somewhat less smooth. Ruburt was aware of uneven moments as certain transitions took place. He kindly allows me to use, or rather operate his vocal cords. And yet even this involves automatic translations of which he is not consciously aware.

(Pete wanted to know if his love of anything to do with Spain was the result of a life lived there.)

(To Venice:) I enjoy our new friend’s questions, and I enjoy answering them. (Smile. To Pete:) As to our young friend’s question about his Lear Jet, I presume that is a snickering jet, we shall see.

Indeed. This was an attempt on his part to reach certain levels of intuition that had not yet taken conscious form. On this particular occasion Ferd was not involved. Our young friend was developing his own intuitive abilities.
