There is much that you do not know regarding this kind of session, and the means to which it may be put. Ruburt has endeavored to speak to Pete and explain to him how his ability should be used and should not be used.

Now, again to Stephen. Many of the things you want can indeed be obtained by you. If they are attained they will be attained through your own development and through the use of your own abilities.

Any true success must come through your own efforts, for no other success has any meaning at all. When you have achieved reachable goals then you will have the strength and freedom to follow through, and ability to achieve goals that are more difficult. There is a dangerous tendency here that should be mentioned, and it is this: you must not blame others when you do not achieve your goals.

Now give us a moment, please. You do have an ability with animals, and you will do well working with them. Now I will tell you something, dear friend, and I hope sincerely that in later years you thank me, though I do not believe you will thank me now.

Now. You need not be afraid of failure, and this is your main difficulty. You have strength and ability that you do not realize you possess, and it will withstand you. You do not have to be afraid of testing yourself against attainable goals. You do not have to look for windfalls.

You have your own abilities, and properly used they will lead to your own development and happiness. Remember, no one owes you anything, but you owe everything to yourself. Now if I sound like the old man from the mountain, so must it be. My heartiest good wishes to you however.

Yours can be a nourishing element within the family, when you do not allow impatience to upset you. You are right in shielding your younger brother. But do not shield him too well. There will be time needed if his abilities are to mature. You two work well together. Do not accept without some critical analysis however, though I do not believe that you will. Nevertheless help temper Pete’s natural enthusiasm with good common sense.

Julie, Steve, and Pete—You should all read any books you can find concerning parapsychology and psychic phenomena. The more you read the more you will understand of Pete’s ability, and the more indeed that you can develop your own abilities. For each individual has inner senses, whether or not he knows that he does, and these should be developed.

I have not been in contact with him. We are on different levels, you see. You must have faith in your own abilities, but do not push them. If you read the material carefully that I have already given you, you will see that I have answered more questions concerning Ferd than you have asked me.

This is your greatest assurance of fully developing your abilities. Do you see?
