A friend of Neville's, a practising Freudian psychiatrist, told him: I love listening to you, Neville. You know what I do when I hear you? I put my feet into the carpet and I would hold the chair with my fingers to keep my sense of the reality and the profundity of things. Neville reports it without mockery and takes it as a compliment about the effect of the teaching - so I took him away from reality and the profundity of things. At 1116 it carries the sequel that makes it an argument rather than an anecdote. Neville wrote to him from the army, explaining that he had got himself honorably discharged by sleeping physically in the army as though he slept in his own home two thousand miles away, and was transported home and discharged within nine days. The psychiatrist did not even answer the letter. He was still in the army when the war ended and came out at the end of 1945, the same age as Neville, dying to get out - whereas Neville got out in March 1943. The verdict is put in the language of the lecture: he chose Barabbas, because he was trained to believe in the reality of his senses. And while he was in the army he had only a little cot to keep his sense of reality and profundity of things - I let go of the cot and slept in my lovely bed. About seven lectures.
