(9:40.) Give us a moment.... It was the feeling of such projection that was important, the subjective awareness of the inner and outer conditions. It is true —the psyche is not restrained by time, yet there are rhythms in which each psyche is involved. They are highly unique and personal, and yet interwoven with historical events which are themselves caused by the psyche’s action. This awareness of projection then represents an important element. These were learning exercises of a kind Ruburt would not allow himself before.

In a society in which individuals were encouraged to work with the psyche and with specialists who understood it, illnesses would be seen as physical symptoms of inner imbalances. The symptoms would be used as exterior reference points while the other conditions at which they hinted were studied. The natural healing that would then result would be a sure-fire indication of the personality’s growth, maturity and overall health. Health obviously does not apply to the body alone, nor even to the mind. That is, I am not speaking of mental ill health, meaning neurotic conditions. The healthy person is one who is balanced at any given time in your terms, as far as his or her relationship with the psyche is concerned; with the world and its relationships.

In daily life this means that he finally understands that his negative feelings were methods that he chose to automatically keep the body in a certain condition. He can recognize, but not as before be engulfed by them. Your active participation now means just what it means. You did not give it fully before because you were as unsure as he was. You live in a joint reality. Your two purposes now merge, and so you will get results.

In other ways the same kind of mechanism operates in the growing popularity of the books. You did not want the little ESP book to do any better than it did in the beginning. That does not mean that you are stupid. It meant that you understood yourselves and the temper of the times, and understood the rhythms of your own growth, even if consciously you may have railed against the conditions and poor sales.
