First, naturally, I have a few comments to make that will not only tie in Ruburt’s smoking habits with his present personality, but also to some extent tie in his present personality with past personalities.

His discipline is improving and has improved this life, especially since the ending of the adolescent period. His smoking, dear Joseph, is indulged in for entirely different reasons than those reasons which impelled you to smoke, and the habit is difficult for him to break, though he is breaking it and he has made strides that are important during the past year.

His smoking represents the tail end of a characteristic greediness that besieged him in past lives, with smoking this time as a remnant. The greediness in the past involved many more areas. It included a strong appetite toward stuffing himself with food and drink, and an overall greediness of appetite, even of intellectual and emotional greediness which he has largely overcome.

No. I was aware that she made the trip. These sessions of trying to give up smoking are a definite help and the habit will finally give way. The personality is becoming stronger and will be able to deal with the problem, as in the past it conquered a gluttony toward food and other elements.

It aggravates a certain amount of nervousness however and is not beneficial. In this also a definite but not bullying attitude is important. The panicky feeling is already lessening and Ruburt’s discipline is catching up with and conquering his emotional attitudes so that the problem will be worked out, that is he will stop smoking.

I would suggest Ruburt that you do not smoke tomorrow. Keep the pack you already have for periods of panic. Also use a hot cloth on your face when your sinuses bother you, and do not use the drops as they aggravate your condition.

As your sinuses begin to clear up you will not experience the nervous ability to gulp air or to smoke, at least to such a degree. You want to take smoke and air into your lungs. You want to fill them because at one time you could not, and the sinus trouble is directly related to this nervous gulping of air. A more relaxed attitude will reduce the quick breathing and the tightening of the sinuses that results from not relaxing.

This should be of benefit. Also the slow breathing habits you began to acquire with your yoga exercises will be beneficial. Giving up the smoking habit will also help you in this respect. You are strongly intuitive and very quick, but you can learn to have a more relaxed body. A fear has been developed by the present personality resulting directly from early circumstances. Ruburt is afraid that if he does not operate quickly he will be symbolically caught and crippled as is the case with his present mother.
