It is indeed the opposite version of his black thing.

That was his black thing, formed by him.

The black thing simply raged. You must understand however that the black thing also served its purpose, for Ruburt was finally able to recognize moods that corresponded to it. You both came close to this recognition during your vacation when you discussed a black ball or atmosphere that you threw back and forth, a pall.

The black thing and the helper are always latent in those terms. Great energy is required however, so many people are not acquainted with these. They do not have the energy capacity to form either. They may however use symbols instead, upon which they vent negative feelings. Do you follow me?

The black thing could be called a shadow image. The dark side of the personality gaining dominance for a time. The helper represents the strongest, most creative aspects of personality, gaining greatly in ascendancy. In between you see the image is much the same as the one shown by the normal personality—the weaknesses and strengths balancing out.

Often the black thing, or dark side of the personality, sensed and acknowledged that it was responsible for the helper, or the helper’s birth. Do you follow me there?

Those familiar with a helper very rarely ever experience their equivalent black thing again, though the black thing can appear many times before the personality changes its ways, and grows.

In your case, Ruburt’s black thing served for both of you. By watching him you learned many lessons that you sorely needed to learn.
