(Long pause.) It should be made a party to the process, then, very definitely, for it is its transformation and understanding that you seek. I will shortly give you a very, very brief collection of suggestions that you can read following each reading session of your own, to clear the air.

(Long pause at 8:58.) The Sinful Self obviously is not a burden that Ruburt carries alone, but one inherent in your civilization. Unfortunately its values have in their way appeared throughout your culture. (Long pause.) In terms of goodness, you can certainly tell the Sinful Self that health and vitality are indeed not only good, but in their way they represent the spiritual attributes. No self really needs a baptism. It is already blessed by All That Is before its birth, and its desires, impulses, and characteristics are also inherently good, meant to insure its own fulfillment, to bring out its best characteristics, and to help the rest of the world as well—all very important issues.

(Pause.) Ruburt might have one or two imaginary conversations with the Sinful Self. This can be quite advantageous, and will certainly speed up communications. Ruburt will probably begin to experience the refreshment I mentioned, and relaxation, more and more, but it was also important that he be aware of the subjective state that had been causing the difficulty. That state can then dissipate through expression.

—and you have done well also, handling the entire situation. (Long pause.) One small note: again, the Sinful Self should be assured it is good, it is not sinful. It is safe to express itself, it is safe to move, and it was produced by All That Is out of the great energy of universal love.
