(Smile.) You need not paint one neck with ten heads, but the one portrait can be made to suggest previous structures and characteristics that have merged to produce the present head. You can look through the face therefore, as an archaeologist would look through rock. Such a portrait will immediately be fascinating, particularly of course to the subject, who will intuitively and unconsciously recognize its components.

(See the last two sessions.) There are various ways in which Ruburt’s abilities can be used, and various purposes they can serve, according to circumstances and conditions. As I told you, I was present, though in the background; Ruburt’s tutor—and it was I—who showed him how to return when he felt it desirable. (Very humorously, eyes open:) He needs a guide. Often when he supposes he is out by himself, or working alone, I am there to keep an eye on him.

I am showing him (Ruburt) how to open and close doors, how to answer knocks without letting the whole world in. (Pause.) I am letting him do a good bit of his own work, however, rather than doing this for him. The ability is his, and it is he who will use it. I will always help him in such endeavors.

I was following Ruburt’s performance, knowing full well that the person who gave the information would not be willing to stay in the background. I wondered how well my student would follow my direction, and he did well.
