You can glimpse other realities, and this knowledge and confidence will automatically be of benefit to you when the transition takes place. You can indeed then leave your body while still conscious, and arrive so to speak with your senses about you. (Smile.)

The full personality consciousness indeed places an additional strain upon what you may call the overall body consciousness, and prolongs the sense of pain connected with that body consciousness. Each cell, as I told you, is aware.

It is like Ruburt keeping the bird alive, you see. (Last summer, Jane found an injured bird, and for several days tried to make it live.) When the personality understands, it can indeed then will itself to leave the body in an aware state, and as it goes bless the body consciousness who has served it so well, release the tiny birdlike awareness within each cell, and go on to its own transition.

Now you may take a break. One point: Ruburt’s whole personality did indeed protect itself, for unless it were integrated and fully committed it would not have the energy to sustain the activities with which it will now be involved.

In one of our earliest sessions I told you that trees have consciousness, and that consciousness resided within all things, as the plants within this room to some extent are aware of you, and the happenings here, can sense strangers, and can strongly sense emotional and psychic atmospheres, to which they do indeed react. (In Volume 1, see sessions 9 of 12/18/63, and 18 of 1/22/64.)

The yoga will indeed benefit him. He is fully ready for the combination of psychic and physical mobility. He is on the move again, and we can all be grateful.
