—and we will begin part two of this evening’s session. To speak in terms of mastering a situation already phrases a situation in poor terms. (A remark I made during discussion, etc.) You choose situations in order to learn and understand. The two of you, now, chose that aspect of your lives together in this life, to help you understand the meaningful relationship between spontaneity as connected with the emotions and creativity, and discipline as connected with the intellectual: to feel and understand the creative tension that connects them both, to learn the personal aspects of emotional relationships as they affect others, and the reflection of the emotions into creative endeavor. You served to help Ruburt find in this life direction. He also helped spur your own sense of direction in your early days together, when you turned from commercial art.

You both knew the tension that would also result, for you would to some strong degree resist. He needed direction however, and he knew that you would help give it to him. You would help him mold and direct his own strong emotional nature. You would have gone to the most considerable lengths to help direct his energy. He would have gone, and has gone, to considerable lengths to allow you to freely begin to express your emotional reality to him.

You have always wanted, in this life, to express yourself emotionally in that fashion. You taught him how to direct his emotions in his work. Because of the tensions and the challenges, however, and for other reasons having to do with this existence, Ruburt became worried that you would not relate to him in the emotional way that his nature demanded. You asked me how you could relate to him emotionally. Do you remember, in a recent session?
