The flexibility and yet the focusing ability of the main sensitive is very important with this method. Numbers of sitters are not important as numbers. The amount of contributing energy needed may or may not require many sitters, according to their varying abilities to direct and focus energy.

Now. There is a flowing of energy, of psychic energy, from the sitters, that does indeed affect and alter that molecular construction of the table. In this method the impetus comes from survival personalities, acting directly through the physical mechanism of the most sensitive person at the table.

There is also a change of molecular vibration in this person when this method is used. Almost a merging (pause), in which there is a freer interplay of molecules between the table and the physical organism. A molecular bridge-field is therefore momentarily constructed. This field may be widened, including all those sitters. The energy of all contributes.

(Pause.) The molecules are unfrozen, so to speak, and become fluid, following this figure of speech. There is a high energy output on the part of the sitters. The strongest sensitive is like a field operator. He or she consumes energy quickly, but that energy is like a receiving center for the energy of the survival personality operating.

(Again I’m led to see that good sitters are a definite benefit; bad sitters of course would simply be those that were distracting or pulled against me, I suppose—or those who demanded too much. A desire on the part of a sitter to know or understand is a help.)

Sitters as a rule are indeed a benefit, in that the emotional impetus causes him to allow me greater freedom. [...] Obviously it will be difficult to judge a good sitter before the fact unless Ruburt follows his own intuitions. [...]

[...] She herself projects highly negative feelings outward onto her sitters, and then picks these up again on a subconscious level, and reacts to them. She tends to condemn her sitters because she is frightened of condemning herself.

[...] An event happening say in 1948, of great importance to the sitter, may no longer have any meaning to the survival personality.

[...] Thus the boy has a grandparent(s) for a sitter.

[...] The doctor and his wife accepted the invitation, contingent upon whether his office was still busy at session time, and whether they could get a baby sitter.

[...] You still would not want to deal with the intrusive, and to you, immediately disruptive emotions that would be obvious in a sitter. [...]

[...] Can the artist relax enough to let a pertinent image of the sitter come to him or her? [...] Well, to start the sitter could always tell the artist about his or her own dreams and hunches, and help the poor guy out that way. [...]
