(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.

He is learning to use his abilities now in various ways,, though you have only begun to learn what they are. Ruburt is just beginning to learn how to handle different conditions. Experience is the one teacher. And I am the next. (Smiling, but serious.)

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.

Though he does not understand what he does, he is learning control at other layers of consciousness, and he will be able to utilize his abilities far better in our sessions and in other experiments. In other words, various types of such experiences, within reason, are highly beneficial, for he learns from them.

These abilities have their counterparts to some extent in any creative endeavor. You know when you are on to a painting. Ruburt knows when he is on to a poem. The same psychic directional sense can be perfected, so that as he roams over fields of experience Ruburt will know when he is on to the proper signals.
