The experiences were legitimate enough. In two cases he was using his own energy to sustain and direct the group, and to transport them, so to speak. He had some help from others in the group, but not enough for such sustained effort.

In the beginning it will be up to Ruburt to aid you, and with concentration and application he can do so. I do not want this suggestion to go by the board, as it will if you simply file the session and ignore it. I would like this work to begin, and to continue throughout your lives as a joint effort.

These methods will suffice. He must also remind himself however to assist you, and to contact your astral self. If he finds himself astrally awake and sees only your physical body, then you are either on an unconscious astral trip already, or your astral body has not left your physical one.

If he only sees your physical body then he should address you, announce his own out-of-body state and invite you to join him. If you are still in your body and if conditions are good, you will then leave your body and join him. If there is no response then you are on an unconscious projection of your own. When astral contact is made, some manipulations may be necessary in order to maintain them, but there is nothing to worry about if you go your separate ways.

Now if you make a habit of doing this, of giving these suggestions two evenings a week, you will ultimately be highly successful. I suggest that the two nights be together. Ruburt should try on these nights one of his methods as he falls asleep, and if that does not succeed, tell him to use the other methods that he knows from the dream state.

He can explain these to you again so that you know what to expect. I will give you additional data on those environments that you visit, so that your experiences are paralleled by session discussions throughout the years. To fully develop yourselves psychically, such experiences are necessary. They will also serve as themes in your work and in Ruburt’s if they are carried through.

You should be comfortably warm, but not overburdened with blankets. (Long pause.) A note to Ruburt: he should keep a robe handy. Use one book for dreams, and leave it on his desk overnight. As a preliminary to the instructions I have given you, for 7 days he should give himself dream suggestions, and on several occasions, though not every night, tell himself that he will awaken after a dream and record it.

As he knows, this facilitates out-of-body states on his part. This should be done a week before you begin your joint experiments.
