There is no time when the sessions should be held merely from a sense of responsibility, and the sessions could not be held merely for that reason.

Now my humor and my sense of joy are obvious. I would hardly then impose responsibility as opposed to joy upon Ruburt. It took him some time to accept the fact of the sessions, and when he did so nothing would do but that he overdo, and accept them as a task rather than a joyful creative endeavor.

You have both greatly changed as a result of the sessions. Intuitively and creatively new avenues will be opened to you. There is no either/or situation however. Ruburt need not think in terms of grim responsibility. (Pause.) And now he will not. This evening for several reasons his thoughts became clear on these subjects. And the point, buried somewhat in the past, came to light of consciousness, for within intuitively the necessary connections had already been made.

Tell our friend however that when he is light-hearted he is light-limbed and moves lightly. Responsibility, in a certain sense, always got his back up.

The sense of fun and joy and spontaneity—all of these things are as important in the dreaming as in the waking state. He felt a responsibility, in his terms, to be psychic. Therefore he carried this attitude into the dream state, and rebelled against the idea of working while he slept. (Pause.) It is no more his duty to be psychic than it is his duty to be human, or creative. It is simply his nature. For some time therefore he curtailed his own dream activities, projections and other such adventures. He could hardly negate them entirely however.
