If it appeared necessary however I would warn you, and give instructions as to how it could be best avoided. I was not aware of Ruburt’s approaching indisposition at our last session, although I knew his overall condition was not of the best.

His condition was not severe enough to strike me. Had you asked however I could have explored his state and given you some warning. The proper mental attitude could have prevented the indisposition. On the other hand, better solutions not having been used, the indisposition served a purpose and a desired end was gained.

Ruburt was sick to his stomach because he had not been able to work properly. He acted this out physically. The enforced rest also gave him time to gain back his psychic resources. All of this could have been dealt with on mental and psychic levels. In the past the physical conditions under comparable circumstances would have been far worse.

Now. The particular virus that attacked your cat had actually been in his system for some time. His own native resiliency and your combined psychic reinforcement protected him. Now. Ruburt picked up the cat’s virus and became ill. With his illness he was not able to reinforce the cat’s condition by his own psychic creativity.

You used your psychic energies to aid Ruburt, and the animal was left to his own resiliency, and it was not enough. You need have no worries now concerning the animal’s survival. The antibiotics serve as a physical reinforcement, you see, since the condition now appears in physical terms.

(The party, Saturday night, with Bill Macdonnel, his friend Tom, and Jane and me, lasted until 4:45 AM Sunday, July 31.)

(The death connection enters in because the bill was filled out by the worker at the lumberyard who obtained and cut the Masonite so it would fit into our station wagon. The worker—whose name we do not know, but could easily learn—became quite talkative when he learned I planned to use the Masonite as support for paintings. He described to us in some detail how he had a portrait of himself drawn during the Second World War, when he was overseas. War…death. The conversation was unusual in that the worker explained how the artist drew his face as though it was symmetrical, whereas in reality it is quite asymmetrical, with an impaired eye.

(“A tournament, perhaps symbolic. A crossing, as of swords.” Jane was sure this referred to the story told us by the worker at the lumberyard, who procured the Masonite for me, concerning his war service, his portrait, etc., done while he was in the service. The worker made out the bill which served as object.

(“An oval shape, or eye shape—that is, this kind of an eye, you see, inside of a rectangle or triangle.” Jane pointed to her own eye while giving this data. It is very good. As stated earlier the worker at the lumberyard who procured the Masonite for me, then made out the bill used as object, had a bad eye. It will be recalled that the worker described a portrait drawn of him while he was in the service; and that the artist making the portrait drew him with a symmetrical face, whereas his face is decidedly not symmetrical.
