You also help maintain and form constructions or events of others that fit in with your own particular varieties of interests. Now again I am not speaking symbolically. Very definite portions of the nervous system that you do not understand are the receptors of impulses that go outward from you to form events.

This sort of behavior continues of course whether you are waking or sleeping, and is highly involved in the construction of dream images and constructions. There are areas of activity to which you do not react simply because you have not activated sympathetic pathways within yourself. These require much more effort on your part, but even the physical brain has latent within it the possibilities for many kinds of activities that still remain generally unknown.

Now you may take your break and we will continue. Ruburt for example has found out what certain mental patterns will do to his image, and he is now attempting to undo the damage that became apparent. Without the damage he would not have accepted the obvious truths. Now the sculptor does at times identify with his sculpt, but never entirely, and it will help him if he remembers that he did the damage, and therefore can undo it.

Not only that, but the lesson will prevent him from doing more serious damage. Tell him that he has, or he is, learning a lesson in perspective, whether he knows it or not.

The inner self then has an entirely different perspective upon your reality than you do, and it sees purposes which are not apparent to you.

Do not forget however that you are a portion of the inner self. It is not using you. You are the portion of it that experiences physical reality. Now physical illnesses that are not critical but observable, that do not involve the loss of say of a limb or of an organ, generally (underlined) represent problems that are in the process of being solved, problems that are in quotes “out in the open.”

Ready answers for he or his son would only betray them. They would use them as excuses. Now give me, a moment ... I will tell him that many of his worries concerning the boy are projections of his own fears, and will not materialize. The boy is reacting telepathically for one thing to the father’s worries. The best thing the father can do for now is to be simply kind to the boy, but relieve the child of his heavy-handed thoughts mentally. Leave the boy alone. He is picking up the father’s negative attitudes telepathically.

(Long pause; one of several, etc.) He is at this point a repository for them. Another positive suggestion is for the father to involve himself in creative endeavors with his painting. He will feel he is doing something productive, and this will help break his feelings of guilt and frustration, and therefore help the boy.

In many situations one individual within a family will serve as the family symptom. Do you see?
