Because of your educational framework, the individual is taught to be wary of the inner self, as mentioned earlier (in the 614th session in Chapter Two, for instance), so unfortunately the ordinary man or woman looks for the solutions of personal problems outside of the self, where they can least be found. [...]

[...] For certain periods they might have had problems in which they forgot their aims momentarily, and yet their beliefs in themselves individually and together were strong enough to give them their present reality.

(One of the obvious reasons, I thought, was that the portions of the personality that were acting up became so powerful that they prevented or subverted a simple thing like asking for help to deal with a problem or challenge. [...]

[...] The problem is that after awhile, you see, you conditioned yourself so well that you no longer control the process that you began. [...]

[...] In a way however you are working through the same problems artistically, and Ruburt would never accept that coloration, so he has learned from you there.

It is foolish to say “Why does it take so much time to learn?” For each learning process is highly unique, and contains within it particular achievements that you yourself want; and these achievements not only rise above the difficulties, but in the greater view the steps are seen as steps “upward”—the individualized problems understood as the same kind of challenges you might set for yourself to conquer in a painting, or as part of the entire creative process.

[...] It either has less and less control over the organism because it has not solved its problems well enough, because it has already largely decided to leave the system, but does so gradually; or because in some instances there is a psychic block, which prevents full utilization of energy in this important regard.

[...] There are two faces of the same problem, you see. [...]

At more mundane levels the same kind of problem arises when art is considered according to its utility, function, or social value—as opposed to the idea of art for its own sake. [...]

The main problems will not be there, unsolved, to rear their heads. [...]

There is no reason now why your main problems should not dissipate. [...]

[...] Still, the dreams that you have and recall, and the resulting solution of many problems, represent only the surface layer of dream activity. [...]

[...] In your terms, the race at any given “time” simultaneously works out problems in the dream state, and those solutions are then physically materialized. [...]
