Carol left the physical class (early), but still participated at that other level of reality in the entire proceeding. Pat (Arnold), who has not attended lately, psychically is present. In that dimension therefore Ruburt was aware of both presences. He was perceiving the greater dimensions of the physical class event. In those terms Pat, who did not attend the physical class, attended a probable one; and Carol, who was not present for the end of the official class, was a participant in the probable one.

Now: the student, Larry Carp, does have extraordinary energy, erratically and explosively used. He does not know how to use it as yet, so it appears not as a steady but as a rambunctious and sometimes distracting quality. He has not learned how to ride it, for example. Ruburt recognizes this. Ruburt was then using Larry’s, knowing that to some degree it would pierce both levels, and he hoped to compare what Larry said in each reality.

Many of the students are embarrassed by Larry’s behavior, and his piercing laugh, but Ruburt recognizes the energy involved. Several things were operating. Ruburt was out-of-body, as he knows, and in that state he was perceiving the greater dimensions of the class event, and trying to correlate this with ordinary class perception. You were also out-of-body, but do not recall the situation.

Carol was downhearted, and wanted to give herself a present. Unconsciously she chose the precise “old” class session, dealing with probabilities, and containing her description, last June, of an out-of-body episode in which she did indeed visit a probable class. That was on her mind as she fell asleep. She visited here, then, out-of-body, and was perceived by Ruburt, who was in an out-of-body state himself. Carol did not come into the room, however, but lingered with her sister (Pat) in the hall.

As Ruburt looked out the window he was using all of his abilities, but he could not physically keep both events going at one time, or rather his awareness could not contain all of the perceptive information.

Part of the landscape was blacked out. There the full light of consciousness did not shine. He alerted himself through the use of the hallucinatory radio, that made him question why the lights were off. Here he reverted however to ordinary conscious behavior, thinking, “There must be a storm,” and that a weather report would tell him its course.

Then he realized that his body was sleeping. He wanted to “awaken” and record the experience, so he had the radio blare until [it] waked him. There is more, involving the doctor and the monkey. The monkey was not free, but on a leash —the psyche’s interpretation, in other terms, of material involving the class discussion about inoculations. The monkey was not free because it had been inoculated with diseased tissue, yet the doctor hoped to keep the disease in control, or leashed, through measured inoculations. Ruburt saw a real doctor and a real monkey because he wanted to bring home the point that living animals were then involved who were then diseased, and that real men conducted the experiments.

In other terms, to your way of thinking, diseases represent animal afflictions, and the monkey represented that connection. No doctor stood in the parking lot with a monkey on a leash, yet in other terms the event was literal, for your doctors feel that they must control the animal in you to heal, and that without their leash the animals would run wild. The monkey was used, also because it is “humanistic,” or has what you think of as incipient human characteristics.

(11:25.) The vocabulary used in the regular class was interpreted in the psyche in that manner, and it was literally and symbolically true language. I will cut this short, knowing your time problems. I recognize your problems—but that sequence alone, done properly, would require sessions.

Enough for this evening. You were out-of-body last night, however, in here with him, and retain no memory. More is said tonight than what was said, and that will produce beneficial results. Your move will be more effortless than you imagine, for you have both settled upon it. And the move will be in all areas.
