You must know enough to speak nearly as an equal with your inner self in order to do this. The process had finally to become conscious in your terms, with the ego highly involved. The intuitive portions of the personality had to have the full cooperation of the intellectual and conscious self at this point in your development and I am speaking of you both here.

The conscious had to appreciate in quite real terms its dependence upon intuitional wisdom. There had to be agreement and unity. The conscious self was not to be left by the wayside, wondering while the intuitional abilities led to fulfillment. The conscious intellectual faculties had to realize what was operating in order that they themselves be fulfilled.

He does indeed often speak without thinking, and when he does he often influences people most. Now he must trust himself to move physically without thinking, and as much as possible to let his body act in a spontaneous way. Do not keep checking. This does not mean he should ignore discomfort particularly, but he should take his conscious mind away from his physical body and let it operate alone.

He will have finally learned intellectually and consciously, that he need not fear the spontaneous self, which has always been his strength, for it sustains him. He was made to deeply fear it, and it was a strong, dominant part of his personality. The psychic work made him fear that he had allowed it to go too far.

They were held in abeyance however. All of the other reasons given of course also applied, yet the intuitions could not be allowed to operate at the expense of the conscious self. The conscious self had to learn to accept and welcome them, and to unlearn false lessons.

The final stages are unfolding, and now both the conscious and intuitional selves are joining forces, and will bring about the body’s release from symptoms entirely.

The program outlined for the 21-day period is an excellent incentive, and serves to give his conscious mind some place to focus, so that the inner self can complete the healing process.

Before, he used his intuitional abilities but always intellectually mistrusted them to some degree. Now he will trust them consciously and intellectually, and this development had to occur for his fulfillment now. It was a prerequisite for other developments and work that will come.

You always recognized and envied his spontaneous nature, without realizing consciously that it operated despite his intellectual disapproval of it. Through his difficulty you are saved considerable problems, for through his experience you understand the dangerous inhibiting nature of overrestraint. It is because his spontaneous self is so strong that the conscious self had to learn to cooperate, if the personality was to achieve full stature.
