[...] The balance between aggressiveness and passivity on Ruburt’s part also forms a highly charged medium that allows him to act in his present capacity in the sessions. [...]

[...] I believe you will automatically work out of these fears, and find yourself free to choose either medium.

[...] The work of mediums, or books about mediums, that deal exclusively with conventional religious concepts, and that interpret reality in those limited terms.

[...] The emotional system of the medium must also learn to handle further stimuli, and then also learn to do so in such a way that balance is maintained.

Another dimension in your terms is simply added, a more extensive one, and when this training is done properly, as I have tried to do, then the medium’s personality is not only strengthened but its abilities used far above the usual normal. [...]

[...] In a very deep trance, the inner processes are hidden even from the medium. With most mediums the mechanics are so automatic that little can be learned about the inner psychological actions involved in such work. [...]

[...] I didn’t realize either that little is known about normal perception, much less extrasensory perception, or that no medium is expected to be 100 percent correct. [...]

[...] To a certain extent they become the invisible medium of experience from which your own specialized activities emerge, so that their nature is implied in your own life — and so that your life is implied in those other frameworks.

[...] She was a medium, and she passed from life to death with a smooth transition, continuing her work almost without interruption after death. [...]

This dream is a sequel to another, in which Ruburt was aware of the death of an old woman who was a medium, and I will need to explain the first dream, that is the earlier one, to make the other dream comprehensible.

[...] He was a woman medium in Boston, dying at 82 or 83 of cancer. [...]

(Recently our friend in Boston, Pat Norelli, had visited a female medium who told her that she was under the influence of an evil eye, and would never have a happy day as long as she lived. [...]

The so-called medium is a severely-damaged personality. [...]

Now: as I told you, Framework 2 is the creative medium that is responsible for physical life.

[...] I want to emphasize however that Framework 2 is not a neutral medium.

[...] You could say that the identity, existing in another dimension entirely, plants the seed into the medium of physical reality from which its own material existence will spring.

There is much I will say at a later date, having to do with Ruburt’s truly idiotic performance in visiting the supposed medium in your town.

[...] It would be much better for him also if he stayed out of the investigation that he so gleefully entered into with Peggy Gallagher, concerning the so-called mediums in your town.

[...] She said later that she did not know the age of the woman medium being discussed here, but that she had taken it for granted it would be in the seventies.)
