Be courageous enough then to ignore some of the physical reality you see, as you were courageous enough to ignore the psychic and spiritual realities, and make your own. Now. By all means continue your sexual relationship. If you can, playfully, playfully together, imagine you and Ruburt chasing each other up and down the stairs, or dancing beautifully, or whatever comes into your mind, as long as it is not serious, and you do not expect instant results.

Your brilliance (?) in your work, and Ruburt’s in his, partially results from the fact that you ignored the mental reality, the psychic and spiritual reality you saw all about you. Do you follow me?

[...] So you are always in a position of ignoring such changes. [...]

Even your home station has many programs, and you have usually tuned in to one main one and ignored others. Characters in your “favorite program” at home may appear in far different guises when you are between stations, and elements of other programs that you have ignored at home may suddenly become apparent to you.

[...] You may try to ignore what you consider other programs dealing with hatred, fear, or violence. [...] These, however, may have been present but ignored, and when you dispense with your usual method of organizing physical data they may suddenly become apparent.

A chronically ill existence, for example, might also be a measure of discipline, enabling you to use deeper abilities that you ignored in a life of good health. [...]

(9:35.) Illness is often the result of ignorance and lazy mental habits. [...]

[...] If you ignore day-by-day opportunities for development now, no one can force you to accept and utilize greater abilities after death, or between lives. [...]

Now, I’ve said this before, you concentrate very nicely upon the similarities that exist in the phenomena of the physical world, and you ignore what is not similar of a large field of available data. Therefore, you focus upon only certain points and accept these as real and ignore others. [...]

[...] You only focus upon a point of ignorance. [...]

I remind you often of the behavior of muscles, and so forth, so that you will not be suddenly upset when Ruburt has bad days, or discomfort, because I realize that that has been largely your framework of reference, and it is of no benefit for me to ignore your beliefs in that matter—and what I have said applies. [...]

You cannot do this by ignoring the validity of the thoughts as your experience, however (very intensely), by trying to shove them under the rug of a superficial optimism. [...]

[...] Invisible beliefs are simply those of which you are fully aware but prefer to ignore, because they represent areas of strife which you have not been willing to handle thus far. [...]

(10:27.) No matter how open it may seem that you are, you will nevertheless accept certain emotions that you think of as safe, and ignore others, or stop them at particular points, because you are afraid of following them further. [...]

[...] Yet you firmly ignore any changes in your appearance from the time you were, say, thirty — and in so doing lose sight of your validity as a creature in space and time.

[...] The others you ignore, and when the picture is finished that you want, then looking back you can see how the completed picture completely obscured the other possible ones, so that they disappeared entirely in the completed project. [...]

In other words, you see the outline of unpleasant events, ignore them as much as possible, and imagine how in the future they will be dispersed in the larger colored picture that you have created. [...]

You have both avoided many problems that could have arisen, because in those areas you were not ignorant. Ignorance implies a refusal to see, or rather an inability to see at a given time, for various reasons. [...]

[...] And so while you have a physical address, I may still be able to point out some very strange and miraculous psychic and psychological structures within your own system of reality that you have ignored.

[...] (Pause.) You can adopt artificial limitations through your own ignorance, however. [...]

This in no manner affects the nature of those actions which you ignore. [...] For you can then choose to perceive advantageous action, as well as you can choose not to perceive action which for any reason or another you choose to ignore.

[...] For as you know, you do not perceive all aspects of action by any means, and it can indeed to some extent be up to you to choose those aspects of action with which you will be concerned, and those which you would ignore.
