But more than this, the fact itself of belief cleanses the psychic and spiritual channels of negative debris. Often in the past you worked against each other unwittingly. When one managed an overall psychic change for the better, the other would negate it through discouragement or negative patterns. Now as a unit your separate realities obviously form a larger combined unit in which you operate. Two of you working together can do seven times more than one operating alone. Do you follow me?

(“I didn’t even think of it that way.” And should have, of course. This is one of those instances where the mere mention of what you have been doing makes the action glaringly obvious.)

I knew you would learn. Now. It is basic patterns of thought that help you or impede you, psychological colorations of thought that form the general overall pattern of your physical reality. One thought alone seems to matter little, and yet it is part of a characteristic pattern of inner behavior, and as such has its place either in bringing you freedom and abundance, or in denying you freedom and abundance.

He still believed in the fantastic ability of destruction, and he tried to cover it up. He did not believe that strongly in the creative function of his own being, and in the natural abundance of life itself. He was more pessimistic than you realized. A sick kitten was a dead kitten, not one who might recover.

He did indeed fear destruction so that he saw it everywhere, and therefore in himself. Nevertheless his creative functions continued. In one frown of yours he saw ten, and imagined all kinds of dire thoughts were going on within your head. A myriad of negative thoughts paraded and were exaggerated.

Now you did the same sort of thing in financial terms. You simply picked different areas. Drawing upon this energy in one area also releases it on other areas. The poor do get poorer, the rich do get richer, because the poor become entrapped by their projections of poverty.

Form your new reality with as much trust and love and confidence, creativity and joy, as you do a painting, or Ruburt a poem. You have denied your powers. No one has closed you off. You had closed yourselves off. On the other hand, once you realize this there is no failure. You have your own abilities to work with however. This does not mean that Ruburt should expect to go off and make great money as a musician. But expect abundance and the release of all your abilities.

This does not mean you cannot have a home where there is no traffic, and where it is still. If you persisted upon focusing on noise rather than quiet however, you would find no quiet regardless of the circumstances. It would obviously be ridiculous to settle in the middle of a city like New York if you valued quiet above all things, so common sense operates. Yet even in the midst of that noise you could find quiet if that was your reality. There are several more points I want to make, rather important ones.

Do not, from your experience with one gallery, project a negative attitude toward all galleries, any more than Ruburt should do this with publishers. This is highly important and represents a block in your progress.
