—and our greetings to our new friend.

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.

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.

Now if you please, give me a moment, and I shall use it well. (Pause, eyes closed.) These are simply impressions. I shall make no attempt to unscramble them at this point. They will have to do with our new friend. (Venice.)

Now. Our friend was a collector of dues within the organization to which he belonged. The name was on many records, but you would not find them now. There was a life in Arabia, a poor and humble one, and one much more recently in the Midwest of this country; as a woman.

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

First of all, though you did not ask, I am not the subconscious of our friend Ruburt, or as you call him, Jane.

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.

In our case the impressions emerge as verbal. They are translated and interpreted so that the end result is a verbal rendition. I am, as I have often told our friends, an educator. Ruburt, and Joseph also, have known me in past lives, and our overall psychological structures have very significant similarities that make our communications possible.

That was a small yes indeed. (Amused, eyes closed, Jane leaned forward.) Now let us see. Ruburt and I engage in a cooperative venture, truly a psychological gestalt, in which our personalities meet, rather in a dimension that is neither here nor there. Together we form a sort of psychological bridge between dimensions, for I cannot completely exist within your three-dimensional system now, and he cannot completely enter the dimension in which I do have my primary existence.

So there is a projection of consciousness on both of our parts to some degree. Now, I like the type of questions that you ask (to Venice), and I enjoy an inquiring mind. Do you have any other questions? (Pause; voice good, eyes closed.)

Now give us a moment. (Pause.) We will see what we can do with our spiritual firebug here.

You may indeed, if it does not hurt you. (To Venice:) our new friend reminds me of the Jesuit when he first came to our sessions (Bill Gallagher)—watching, when break came, to see when Ruburt and I should fall apart from each other. I hope no crack is expected.

Energy or action is composed of an infinity of itself, and yet, forever acting upon itself, it forms forever new portions of itself. Each action causes another. Now until we have done more talking you will simply have to take my word, for the sake of our discussion—our one-way discussion—that any action or energy possesses consciousness seeking to know itself, therefore; and acting within itself it forms new consciousnesses that are individual and independent, and yet connected to every other consciousness.

Now. We will shortly close our session. However to the question about Spain, the answer is yes.

(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.

We will therefore bid you all a fond good evening. My heartiest regards, and we shall now end our session.
