(After break. To Florence.) And I will look in on you about Virginia Beach time. If you were expressing yourself fully on certain issues you would not have a cold, and if you were using all of the insights that you should have gathered in class, you would not have a cold. If you were allowing full expression of your inner ideas outward along certain lines having to do with your oldest son, you would not have a cold. It is easier, however, to use honey and vinegar; but using honey and vinegar you simply get rid of the cold and do not find out why you have it. You do not learn something about yourself that you should know and so when the cough is gone, when the issue comes up again, you get a different ailment and so you find a different remedy. Honey and vinegar are cheap; self-knowledge is dear but far more valuable. Such inner remedies and such real remedies do not come in packages and you cannot pick them up at the supermarket, and they are not herbs to be eaten for breakfast though these will serve as an in-between measure and there is nothing wrong with in-between measures. But if you want to get at the real knowledge of yourself and at the real reason for symptoms, then there are ways of doing so and I have given them to you. They are not meant to be bitter as vinegar.

You did realize it. Now, these are truths that you do not face and fiction you do not tell yourself. You must learn to accept yourself and your situation as it is. The two of you are miserable together because the two of you created a miserable reality. When you learn to create a positive reality for yourself then you will be able to help someone else create one.

Very little. Now, give yourself some freedom from negative thoughts and give her freedom in your mind. Concentrate upon what you have that is positive. Now, this includes your health, your life and your livelihood. Enjoy the sensation of being alive. Learn again to re-educate yourself so that you understand what subjective happiness is and then see how you feel and what your problem is.
