Now. If Ruburt were in danger of any serious illness, I would know it. And I would warn you, though I am aware of the power of suggestion you see, and would be under such circumstances extremely careful less the warning itself act as a negative suggestion.

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.

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.

You understand the therapeutic results of explosive laughter. I will not dwell on this then. The explosive laughter however was in direct proportion to the inner tensions. From the first signs of Ruburt’s illness you both took precisely the correct steps. The illness itself was a regrettable, but on the whole beneficial act, for if it had not occurred, and if the inner problems had not been worked out psychically, then a more serious illness could have been the result.

Ruburt took, all in all, a wise course under the circumstances. It was not the best course, which would have been a psychic one. I suggest your break.

He is particularly appreciative, and feels that with the food he eats he also receives other benefits, as indeed he does. This is a point aside, yet an important one: Food is indeed sacred. Its preparation is more a psychic matter than a physical one. The preparer of food puts more into it than spices. A food can be contaminated, poisoned, by a cook, with no physical elements involved at all. When ten people are poisoned for example by a food, it is no coincidence, and more is involved than mayonnaise left in the sun. Ruburt’s healing nature protects and enriches your meals, and this is an important and constant element in your well-being.

For Ruburt once more: Yes, you are perfectly safe with your cat, if you both proceed with your present course.

The morning hours are better than the afternoon hours. The period just before the menstruation cycle is a good one for Ruburt for this purpose. (Pause.)

A tree, or tall tree shape. Straight. A word with M again, perhaps this time a name or initial. Ruburt thinks of Marie or Mary. It is a large M, and belongs with a name. This seems very vivid in itself, but it could simply stand for Miss so-and-so you see, or Mrs. A woman connection.

Two people. You and Ruburt, I believe.

(“A word with M again, perhaps this time a name or initial.” Ruburt thinks of Marie or Mary. It is a large M, and belongs with a name. This seems very vivid in itself, but it could simply stand for Miss So-and-So, you see, or Mrs. A woman connection.” Seth here evidently refers to a different name this time than that shown on the bill, Glenn M. Schuyler. Jane is subjectively sure Seth was getting at the name of Mrs. Marilyn Wilbur, who lives with her husband Don in Wellsburg; the Wilburs are good friends of ours. The Marie or Mary is very suggestive of Marilyn.

(“Two people. You and Ruburt, I believe.” Jane and I of course made the trip to Wellsburg for the Masonite, etc.; although contacting others on this mission in the usual routine fashion.

My heartiest regards. Advances are being made that will begin to show themselves rather clearly. Ruburt was correct as far as he went, in describing the way in which he received the information regarding the roof. This is also something quite new. We will attempt to mix it also with visual data. It will serve finally to round out and pinpoint information more concisely. I will briefly discuss this particular point at our next session. It regards a method of perception that you use subconsciously but never recognize—a sense that is something like the way you register temperature.
