You (SW) lost some good bets this evening. And you (CW) lost many good bets this evening. Now. There is a difference between passivity and alert passivity. And you need to learn the difference. Here you need to learn the difference. Again, I welcome our new member (LD).

Now. We will try to have a session for you (WL), our friend William the Bull, shortly... and clear up some of your difficulties... for some of them are because you are bull-headed. You will not let the inner self speak clearly enough to you... so we will give it the voice that you can hear... And, you will know when we have the session, you will intuitively realize that what we say is true... And there is no need to fight what you are fighting... And the secret that you try so hard to hide from your conscious mind is not that terrible a secret. There is some past life that operated in your case that has caused a block, and we hope that we can help you remove it. Bulls can rip down fences.

Now. Ruburt’s abilities were so strong since childhood that he feared using them, and so I am quite used to that development. On the other hand, I wanted someone with a strong-enough ego structure to contain what will amount to... 40 years of mediumistic experience. I needed a personality who would be able to maintain psychological stability.

It is a portion that has been physical. It is a portion that can understand your (TM) being overwhelmed with work; it is a portion that can understand your being full with child (SW); it is a portion that can understand the times when you wanted to leave physical reality (CW); it is a portion that can understand the part of you (SB) that wanted to be a star; it is a portion that can understand the part of you that wanted to conquer, and is afraid to conquer (WL); it is a portion that can understand the guilt you (RC) feel for no reason; it is a portion that can understand the aspirations that you (LD) were unable to fulfill... and if you had fulfilled them, you would not be looking into the subjects that you are looking into now. You would not feel the need to look for answers. It is a part that can understand why you (VM) have so related to this man; it is a part that can understand why the five, and seven, and eight-year-old girl that you were has related to this man, and not independently gone on. It is the part that can understand why you let your aspirations go (TM).

And this part that you see and that appears in this room... and that can show joy, and show its existence and reality, that can call to you beyond space and time, that shows such energy, that shows you what energy can blow through such a small and slight frame... that self is a small part of my reality. For some time yet, you will need its familiarity. And you will need the human characteristics that you know ... and that were mine...and they are still mine, for this self of mine that I show to you does still exist and grow. But beyond that self, there is another self, and still another self... of which I am fully aware. And that self can see through physical reality. And to that self, physical reality is like a breath of smoke in air ... and that self does not need the characteristics that you know and find so endearing. And yet it is not an unemotional self; it is a self that has condensed emotions; and, it is not distant.
