The ego’s desire for health and the organism’s impetus toward health, are constant balances, and are always present. The illness is not to be regarded as a natural (underlined) event, but the reason for it sought. The reason is often a lack of a quality. The realization of the lack and the mental, emotional and psychic acquisition of the quality, brings the illness to a close.

The psychic influence of the other priests was far more creative than he realizes, and it was always in the realm of ideas that he rebelled against authority. That is important. He did not leave the church, literally, until long after he had left it spiritually. Yet all of his religious background gave him an immersion in a strong organized religion. Inside that framework he learned what was wrong with it, and from his experiences was born the strong inner, barely conscious, desire to help his fellow beings emerge into some kind of lucidity. There were strong pressures operating. All that remains is for him to realize that he is indeed now on the right track. Do you want to rest your fingers?

You may. Give us a moment. (Pause.) The religious area is tricky, because it contains high potentials for his development, and also sore points, you see. If he is asked to speak out of sincere desire, he can do his best. If he feels he is on trial in the religious area, then this has negative connotations.

The effect is also positive. Again, it leads to Ruburt’s desire to help others, and to look for a way to do so.
