The point about success being a critical factor (in the 367th) also means that it was a potentially creative factor. It could bring various potentials to bear that could be used positively—or in your terms negatively.

What was not said is this: he felt that no one with whom he had been intimately involved believed in him as a person, or trusted his intrinsic value, except for yourself. Your meeting and love helped reinforce all of his own creative aspects and rearroused his faith in himself. While he had that strong faith in himself, the other tendencies, including the false prophet ideas, lost all but the most minute significance.

Intuitively the personality knew its abilities also, so there was the creative urge to develop and grow. The two blended. His desire to forge ahead philosophically beyond any school or church also was involved, and his artistic endeavors—which bloom in my books, now, as well as in his own work.

The entire psychic situation then brought into your lives fantastic energy, and attempted to correlate diverse creative, personal and psychic goals. All for this was focused into a particular time, as you think of it.

It demanded growth, creativity. It was born of such diverse elements, in this life term, as your sign, “Make a galaxy, Jane,” and also born because of those stresses that had deeply by then already made themselves known.

He felt—this is an answer to another question—that there was a veiled threat involved in my remark that I would not be dispensed with. There was none. He felt angry that often it seemed you trusted me but not him. He was never in danger of any severe emotional or mental difficulties. He would always cope—and in the main creatively, if unconventionally or bizarrely.

You gave also creatively, and do not forget that. Age is involved, in that you knew Ruburt would go so far and no further, and so did he.

It is because you both are such loners basically, creatively and in normal physical life, that Ruburt realized that you must have a strong and vital, open and warm system of communication with each other. It also means that you alone in the main must meet each other’s emotional needs. They do not find fulfillment from a large family in daily contact, for example, or from a large group of friends.

Now though it may not seem so to you, the entire episode has been a creative endeavor, in which together you saw to it that various desired characteristics be brought out in each other. You particularly in the beginning, served as a strong impetus to Ruburt, freeing him for serious work.
