I want to begin by reminding you that these divisions to the self are rather arbitrary, for the sake of discussion. The ego, again, looks into the physical world. The source self, or inner ego, has its prime reality in Framework 2. Between the ego and the inner ego, you have what you think of as the unconscious. It gets its energy of course from the source self, and its primary directives to insure the fulfillment and the survival of the person. To some extent then it must depend upon conscious deductions and reasoning. With that as background let me continue.

Now let us for a moment look at the situation from the point of view of the unconscious. With the information it has received, and in the light of what it considers Ruburt’s lack of understanding, lack of gratitude, and determined refusal to understand its position.

(10:00.) If you did not toe the mark, you were punished severely, or abandoned; or your sustenance was cut off. His unconscious had learned to tread a careful line, to let Ruburt use his abilities while seeing that he was protected at the same time. Its ideas were largely gained in childhood, and there was a giveand-take between Ruburt’s fears and hopes. Gradually, however, the give-and-take gave. He held back the fears, thinking them beneath adult behavior. He stopped giving his unconscious feedback in that regard.
