Some (of Jane’s) beliefs are becoming more visible, so we shall make them even clearer. My prognosis, as given by the way, still stands despite appearances.

Now you have changed many of your beliefs, and partially because of Ruburt’s example. Behind those beliefs was the belief that spontaneity is an indulgence to be controlled, that good things are not spontaneous, but bad things are. Abilities must then be protected against “spontaneous” desires, which, it is taken for granted, will lead in another direction.

He must see that the writer’s freedom and ability is dependent upon his being a free person. Now those with strong talents are more aware than others of the power of energy. They have chosen to be so aware. Those involved deeply in any art are consciously or unconsciously working in a most intimate manner with the challenges of another kind of creativity. Through their art they see their beliefs and feelings translated into form. On that level they are studying the ways in which beliefs and feelings are translated into living reality. They are ready to deal with the joy and responsibility that others may not as yet understand, so it is easy enough to make errors. The creative abilities have a power that can be confusing, overprotected, or on the other hand run from. Ruburt was trying to do double duty—protecting his abilities and your own. If he remembers his instinctive feeling for nature he will know that he belongs outside as well as inside.
