True questioning and true use of the critical faculties will always lead Ruburt, to intuitional truths, so there is no reason to fear them. Those who do not understand their abilities intellectually must one day be led to question them.

Problems are methods of learning, set by the inner self. This is a particularly important statement. They should always be faced in this light. Other existences also involve these challenges.

(Smile.) I must help you, for you are brothers left behind. You are therefore challenges to me. Your progress is my challenge. Ruburt’s condition now is his challenge, for in overcoming it he overcomes limitations of which he was not aware before. Only when they became physical was he acquainted with them.

The ego found poetry acceptable and never challenged it. The psychic work was something else entirely. This, with other problems mentioned earlier, led him to a deep mistrust of the intuitional self. He felt he could not go ahead.
