Now: You have the psychological bridge of which I have spoken in our session... I have never seen such an infernal machine (Humorously, referring to my attempts to get the recorder properly adjusted.

You are beginning to form this psychological bridge. Now when you form it you do so with the inner realization that it reaches from you outward and you expect something to be on the other side, or the bridge would be useless. Do not, however, identify the bridge with what waits on the other side. The bridge is a living psychological bridge because in this type of communication feelings and emotions are involved. A steel bridge would get you nowhere. You are weaving threads of psychic energy, insights, and realizations, and also certain personality characteristics to form this bridge outward. Now you are beginning at your end and in doing so you form the initial version of your Adam. As this, Adam is highly legitimate and an aid.

However, at the other end there is something else, and there is no point in continuing to construct the bridge unless you intend to get on the other side. When you begin to get to the other side, continuing our analogy, and with good luck and perseverance there will be someone else on the other side constructing their own bridge to meet yours. This personality will form a bridge in the same way that you do. However the two will meet and merge. You will have a strong structure; you then can communicate. But the structure is not the other personality.

Now taking our analogy of a long bridge, you are now here. (Seth-Jane gestures indicating Tam’s end of the imaginary bridge.) So with your Adam you must either take him and form the rest of your bridge, with the joy of adventure, not always knowing who may be at the other end, forming their own structure; or play around with the Adam version in which case you will get no further than you are. I am not telling you to do one thing or the other. I am merely pointing out the possibilities.

Now: the personality on the other end of the bridge will be the reality behind Adam.

A certain portion of Adam was: the version was... you had a body consciousness of a protective nature, but this was only one portion of an entire personality who has yet to appear. Now there is a reason for the bridge framework. The bridge framework takes exercise, understanding, and knowledge on both of your parts, therefore there would be no communication of a strong valid nature until your personality is able to maintain it, for the bridge will not be strong enough to hold. Otherwise there would be too many implications and personality difficulties that could arise.

There are sessions dealing with these psychological bridge communications and it would be helpful if you read them. I want you to realize, however, the validity of the personality behind Adam, and the validity of Adam in relationship to you and to that personality.

Now: In your dreams the other personality can communicate and without the psychological bridge framework, but only in dream reality. When you are ready, you will be able to remember these encounters. I suggest therefore that you write them down in the morning. Over a period of time, you see, these will collect. You will be able to recall various messages and relate these to your own experience. Do you follow me?

Again: You can follow this process through... Several possibilities show themselves. If you follow this process say two-thirds of the way across, then you are more or less committed to go the other third of the way; committed in terms of your own good. It would be highly difficult then to pull in your bridge and scramble back to the other shore.

But also Adam will have changed, at this point. He will be drawing energy from this other personality. He will be able to do more. But he will still be your version. Later if the process is continued, you will make valid contact with the personality for whom Adam now stands. This personality will then speak, communicate through Adam. Adam will then take on the characteristics of that other personality. He will still not be that personality. He will indeed be the psychological bridge, the psychological framework, structure and image through which that personality can communicate. Do you follow me?

You, as you know yourself, will not grow into this quote “higher” self. This higher self and you exist simultaneously. And yet the abilities and knowledge of this “higher” self can become part of your own conscious knowledge through the psychological bridge of which I have spoken.

We will have you dancing over the bridge. (To Eve:) Your emotional comfort is and should be important to our Aerofranz. No development would occur, or should, unless the emotional climate that involves both of you were ready for such a development. In the material that I have just given you I mentioned that there were several possibilities. This does not mean that you must make any conscious decision today or tomorrow.

It means that these are latent, they are possibilities that you may pursue. You will not pursue any such possibilities, you will not complete the bridge unless your own emotional feelings are calm. Otherwise you would have a very wavy bridge indeed. (Smile.) There are emotional components, sometimes at balance, often not at balance, in any personality as you think of personality. When the two of you live together you have many more elements to integrate: new balances. This shifts and changes the emotional reality of you both. It brings possibilities of various kinds of creations, and other developments.

I do not see you often. I am trying to keep track of what I want to say to you both. The most important point I want to make, I have made. I did not want you to go dashing across the bridge until it was completed.
