THE PSYCHE IN RELATIONSHIP TO SEXUAL ELEMENTS.

[...]

Dictation: Chapter Four: “The Psyche in Relationship to Sexual Elements. [...]

[...] It is a good idea, then, to look at the psyche and its relationship to sexual identity.

While there was no mating period, still there was a close biological relationship between the species and the earth, so that women naturally conceived when situations of climate, food supplies, and other elements were beneficial.

It is a superficial concept, as if your individuality, merit and worth, are only activated if you have a strong sex, love or married relationship. [...]

They can exist with these, but they cannot exist if you insist that such a relationship is the condition upon which you will accept existence. [...]

You set yourself against all of this, against the gist of life and joy and vitality, and turn your back upon it with the paltry excuse: “If one person does not love me in a male-female relationship in this life, then I threaten to destroy myself, and shatter the form that holds the spirit, and shatter the form like a glass thrown upon the floor, like a child in a tantrum.” [...]

[...] They were unable (underlined) to appreciate a love relationship because of this preoccupation, and you have been unwilling to appreciate the true miracle of your existence because of your preoccupation. [...]

[...] You were deeply involved in overall healing processes of your own, in which certain comprehensions on your part were conveyed to the various organs of your body, so that your body came into a far better overall relationship. That relationship was also responsible for [your] eye improvements, and Ruburt was able to perceive differences in you before you were aware of them at all.

Ruburt’s sense of disorientation is also partially the result of healing processes within his own body, and altering relationships—again, at intimate microscopic levels—which send their new “healing tremors” upward through the various formations of matter, so tell him to enjoy it.

You do exaggerate the Prentice relationship negatively. [...] You accuse Ruburt of never forgetting a thing that you said of a negative nature, but you hold all of Prentice’s errors in your mind, and so far refuse to concentrate upon any good in that relationship.

[...] You have learned much, both in relating yourself to inner reality and to outer relationships, and the error is understandable. The outer relationships are serving you well, for you are already storing up many ideas for your work, for your painting, that have at least partially come as a result of your perception of others.

[...] We may indeed take time out shortly, not only to go into our own relationship more thoroughly, but also to discuss other such relationships in general. [...]

(Jane had a pretty good day today—until we read over some of the late sessions this afternoon, those having to do with her relationship with her mother. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.) She and Ruburt chose a relationship that would terminate, so the two would go their separate ways. [...]

[...] Marie’s purposes were her own, but the two obviously embarked on a relationship together, knowing that it would go so far and be relatively unsatisfactory. [...]

Marie also found peripheral relationships throughout later life, with nurses or attendants who turned into friends—and while her life certainly was not a happy one, it was not as tragic as it now seems to Ruburt to have been, so that the beneficial elements of that early background were used without quarreling, of course. [...]

[...] It is not simply that disease is disease, and relationships are relationships, but that the individual generally tries to achieve the best possible conditions for a satisfying spiritual, emotional and physical existence according to beliefs and intents.

[...] Your life is dependent upon that intimate relationship between body and mind. [...]

[...] You gain also in your relationships with these young people when you direct the relationship along desired lines. [...]

Both of you also benefit by the encounters, and it is of course up to you to direct the relationships along the lines that are most fruitful. [...]

[...] The relationship between you and Ruburt also gives the young couple the basis upon which to build their own life together, and such a basis was quite necessary for them.

[...] For the relationship begins to disintegrate into the social discourse they could get anywhere else.

There is on the one hand a fear of demanding, and on the other hand a tendency to demand too much in personal relationships in which the other sex is involved. [...]

There was a relationship existing between you and your friend, (pause) in the Oklahoma existence. [...]

[...] We had been discussing both relationships at break.)

Give us a moment please… We find we do not believe that he is interested in the kind of relationship that you have in mind. [...]

(She wasn’t too clear as to what she was panicky about, but as we talked I began to understand that she was re-experiencing the same round of fears that she had many times in the past, and that many of these private sessions have been devoted to over the years: her mother, her need for love, her fears of abandonment, the conflicts involving success and the psychic work, our relationship, and so forth, if anything’s left. [...]

[...] But it embodies massive contradictions, of course, for the very illness sets up strains in the relationship that wouldn’t even exist were the illness not present. [...]

[...] Before the session I’d told Jane that I’d always felt that in our relationship my own contributions were doomed to fall short of what she wanted and expected from me —that I’d always felt I couldn’t give all she needed from a marriage partner. [...]

(She talked about how a strong part of me had served as a catalyst in her own work and love, but this only made me wonder how I was to utilize those qualities in our relationship and work while ignoring all those other factors—mostly negative ones—that seemed to operate all the time. [...]

[...] Yet Seth’s Nebene rings true—even including my relationship with Jane way back then.)

[...] Some other personal information that I gave you concerning your relationship with your father this time also fits in here.

You had a relationship of which Nebene did not approve, a sexual one. [...]

[...] (I was surprised at the age, etc.) For some time in your relationship in this life, Nebene provided you with a framework to contain your own early emotions with your parents.

[...] And when each of you come together in a personal relationship are you then glorifying and adding to the reality of the consciousness that is within those atoms and molecules. [...] But if you demand the best that is within you then you become more than you realize that you are, and you must also demand more from the other persons within your relationship. Allof you, therefore, that are married and have such relationships must inspire each other regardless of what you all know of the nature of reality. [...]

[...] And you all work them out through your own relationships, for even these are symbols for other realities and each move you make in this reality is made in another and still another, and this does not deny the integrity of your own individuality which continues by its own nature. [...]

[...] There are personalities who have traveled through the centuries, literally, without an understanding, and if this was their reality and if it was their own making, still be glad that it is not yours and accept those relationships that you now have and realize their potential and do not close yourselves off to stupid pride and through barriers of your own making. [...]

[...] The fetus, however, will also react to the death of an animal in the family, and will be acquainted with the unconscious psychic relationships within the family long before it reaches the sixth month.

[...] I was curious about this, because we’d read that no investigation has turned up any such electromagnetic relationship. [...]

[...] It will, instead, be an emotional awareness of that relationship. [...]

[...] You do it by realizing emotionally two things: your relationship with everything else that exists and your miraculous uniqueness; and the meeting place between the two is where the self is and you think of the self. [...]

Now: In your marriage and relationship your whole emotional climate has turned direction. [...] When you are highly involved you will feel additional strength from your relationship. [...]

[...] Not my book, but points concerning your own relationship with Adam. [...]

[...] I want you to realize, however, the validity of the personality behind Adam, and the validity of Adam in relationship to you and to that personality.

Sometime we will have a group of sessions or a chapter in a book dealing with the emotional levels of these two people (indicates RFB and Jane) and the relationship with psychic activity, the balances that are maintained and changed.

[...] You must know that you can hold your own in a relationship. To run pell-mell into another relationship will be no answer—for you will not have solved those problems that have caused your present dilemma. [...] (I am referring to “another” relationship, but the same applies to your present wife.)

Now of all the others in the room, those two, in their relationship, have a simplicity and an integrity that speaks for itself and it is, indeed, highly unusual. [...]

Now my relationship with you, brought up quite cleverly by our friend over here, is indeed a strange one since you do not relate to me as you do to each other. [...]

[...] However, there is an imbalance, a lack of balance and of coordination, in the family, in the family relationship and with the children. [...]

There is a woman close to him with whom he has a brotherly relationship, and who helps tend to his wants. [...]

[...] Perhaps in the 1930’s; and a relationship with an aunt. [...]

[...] In this life, you come together and part, come together and part again, forming a counterpart relationship when it suits your purposes, as streams of consciousness might mix and merge, and then separate.

These counterparts are psychic relationships, formations that in the deepest terms flow into historic time and out of it. [...]

(I have the simple, profound faith that anything I desire in this life can come to me from Framework 2. There are no impediments in Framework 2. Framework 2 can creatively produce everything I desire to have in Framework 1—my excellent health, painting, and writing, my excellent relationship with Jane, Jane’s own spontaneous and glowing physical flexibility and creativity, the greater and greater sales of all of her books.
