Now. Time is the pattern of perception. It is highly personal, and has no meaning without personal experience. To you, then, time is the result of your perceiving mechanisms. You know the senses force you to perceive experience in certain pattern. Because I have also followed this particular reality, it is meaningful, for me, and I can understand it.

Now words belong to your particular time system. Without it, they are not needed. Therefore communication is dependent upon your time system. The inner self however is not so limited, as you know, and inner communications continue always beneath words. Word structures and language itself bears a unique mathematical precision. The placement of emphasis, the vowels and consonants, the length of time to utter them, all of these issues are intimately connected with your own nervous systems, and with the intervals inherent within your time system, between thought and action.

You are beginning to perceive the holes in the camouflage, for I have pointed them out to you. They are doorways into inner realities, and other realities, as are these sessions. Those who have survived physical death in your terms, must use words in their communications, for you do not understand wordless communications. They themselves are far freer, however.

For simplicity’s sake, let us say that there is a process of change. Those alive in your terms rely at least outwardly on the spoken word. Those who have left and survive, use thoughtwords but do not need to speak, though they may (underlined). As proficiency grows and as the inner senses are more fully used, the necessity for even thoughtwords vanishes.

The recent and highly significant release in a certain area is a sign of improvement more significant than you realize. The letter should be mailed however. It will lead Ruburt to further contacts, and its results will strengthen certain inner feelings that have and are emerging. (Long pause.) If your hand is tired you may take a break.

The initial poor reaction the morning following our little chat was simply the result of a temporary fear of letting go. It was of short duration, however. Ruburt did experience a sense of freedom in your hiking activities as a result, that was highly beneficial; and such activities are good for they increase his confidence. Of course, it was more difficult going down the hills—the significance of letting go is more apparent.

Water itself, natural water, such as the pool, has healing qualities also that he was able to use. The change that he perceives in your apartment is, of course, the result of inner change for the better.

(“About Jane’s flash from you before the 423rd session. Does that have to do with her dream about you while we were on vacation? The flash told her something beneficial of an inner nature would happen to her while we were away.”)

Now, he was able to soak up energy in your natural surroundings, and to use it. Of course, he was ready to do so. The physical activity diverted his conscious mind so that the inner self could progress, without being watched at every moment.

They were highly impressed. They did not, however, see through Bernard’s real meaning. Van Over did sense it. He has some abilities of his own, incidentally, of which he is not aware. When Ruburt is completely healed his health will be exuberant—not a halfway thing. It is his way. (Amused.
