Now we will have a relatively brief session, but I would like to give you some important immediate points to work on—not (humorously) that I did not give you enough the other evening.

Telling him that you are suddenly mad enough or angry enough to insist upon changes is obviously not the approach. He thought you were angry enough to begin with. Physical improvement, now, in that context (underlined), meant something else you were demanding, but did not expect.

I am bringing this out so that you understand, both of you. You would insist he overreacted, that no one should be that suggestible. He would think of the abject label again, have no use for himself, and think the whole thing useless. If at the same time you seemed overly critical—to him, now—of a manuscript, say, or his missing sessions, then it seemed approval was denied him from the one person whose integrity he trusted.

The stimuli encountered outside will automatically meet response and bring up other reasons for going out. The stimuli now is very limited. Once he is in stores for example the urge to buy is renewed. The mind automatically turns to things it would like.

Now give us a moment.... The insights he received yesterday were quite legitimate, and show why he went along so readily with your projections. Earlier his own spontaneous nature, his desire for social intercourse, his simple love of fun, were strong enough to overcome the inner feelings that made him shy away from people. When these were undermined the inferiorities arose and he began to avoid people.

Now you may take a break. And do not let me keep you too long.

Now. Some of these extreme reactions on Ruburt’s part were brought about by his psychic understanding of Nebene, so he could not adequately communicate with you. If you reacted as Nebene you would later rationalize the results to him—while he would know in that (underlined) instance he was not projecting so he could not trust his reactions toward you.

Now all of this can be remedied by interaction on both of your parts, and the willingness on both of your parts to give-and-take and not be afraid. Both of you often try to hide in your work from normal daily intercourse with others, and to make your work carry the burden of your humanity. That can only dehumanize your art, when carried to the extremes.

Now I bid you a good evening—and there are still other sessions that both of you can read to your advantage. (Meaning deleted ones.)
