Now: we will begin again. There is an excellent book, called The Nature of Personal Reality. It will help many. It will help the two of you particularly, because your personal realities are so involved in it. That is, it will if you read it.

Now give us a moment. (Pause.) You are financially secure. Ruburt’s classes will not suffer despite appearances (the energy crisis). Much of what I said last evening applied to you, Joseph. Ruburt, so sensitive to your moods, and being self-conditioned to some extent himself negatively, reacted. He wanted to help you, and felt powerless to a large extent.

Each of you sees buying a house now as a threat, though you are at times tempted. You have always seen family life yourself as a threat to artistic production, and the first thing you would do if you had a house would be to build a studio outside of it. You did not want children. Whatever methods Ruburt chose to insure that you were childless you proclaimed with joy, glad that you were not the woman.

Now: the other side of the picture. Ruburt sought you out for much the same reasons, with reincarnational background to be given. But Ruburt was the female: you would not bear any child, so the effort had to be strong on his part. Thoughts of buying a house throw both of you into a quandary because they directly come in conflict with your private ideas about your work and purposes, and your places in the world.

You have never allowed yourselves creative decorating freedom here, for example, and thus denied yourselves considerable satisfaction. Now the walking is directly involved with all of this. With the ideas of either buying a house or going to Florida, and what these issues involve in line with your current beliefs as given. Your mother’s death makes Ruburt want to go further inward for more answers. At the same time he is trying to make outer decisions.

Now: we can only get so much through in an evening. I will continue this at your earliest convenience—but begin at once as given with the book, and the understanding, I hope, you will achieve from this session. I bid you a fond good evening, but unless you do what I have said, and until you do, we will not have another private session, for you will not be ready for it.
