Now—do either of you mind if we have a session?

There is simply a deep difference. Ruburt for example will enjoy and make use of whatever land he has, be it only the dirt in a window-sill plot. He does not have ambiguous feelings to supercharge his reactions in this particular area. To you this apartment house and its grounds are considered in terms of land, and dwelling. You think of the land you do not have. You have not been able to take advantage of the yard or the ground available as positive things of joy and refreshment, and have therefore been denied an extra advantage from this place, and the conditions that Ruburt has enjoyed.

He thinks of this place in terms of a dwelling rather than as land, but because his attitude is not charged and because he does love land, he is able to enjoy what land there is. Now he compares this place for example to his childhood home, as subconsciously you compare it to yours, whether you know it or not. He comes out far above in comparison. You do not, and this angers you.

To him other apartments, vacant, that you look at, represent automatically psychic probabilities that intrigue him simply because they exist. No land idea is connected. This does not mean he does not notice or dislike a given neighborhood. The lay of the land with you however immediately overwhelms other considerations, and if there is no land you do not even want to step foot upon the property. These are simply variations in reaction that you should both understand.

Give me a moment. A long moment. (To me:) You are largely the one to be satisfied, for Ruburt will find joy in almost any environment that he considers his own; you see he personifies in a way that you do not; any place he is in is his place, to his mind, as this is his yard. So any dwelling that you find he will personify and make his own, and therefore your own, if you follow me.

You would indeed benefit from larger quarters. You do not need me to tell you this. I have not mentioned such matters since my early suggestion that you purchase the house you did not purchase. It was a probability that you did not follow.

Do you have any questions?

Simply the idea. Now. To some extent you both overemphasize the differences between you as far as your ideas of a more or less permanent dwelling place are concerned. This has something to do with your lack of action. You can for example find a comfortable compromise between isolation that is relatively complete, and an apartment in the heart of town.

Now. I do want to do some dictation, so after a few more comments I will do so.

It upsets Ruburt when you talk of moving, but make no actions to do so, because subconsciously it reminds him of the deep uncertainty and insecurity he felt when he was in the orphanage. Never knowing when he would go home or not, he kept himself in a constant state of readiness to leave. Various dates were given and then his leaving was postponed several times.

(“You’re doing very well by yourself—that’s why I haven’t interrupted with a lot of questions.”)

All right. Ruburt automatically thinks of the productivity of land, when he thinks of land. He would do very well in the future in buying real estate—and there will be money to buy it. He would not do as well with stocks and bonds. They are meaningless to him.

Do you want a short break first?
