The critical part of the illness is over. You do not want any chronic lasting symptoms, even of lesser intensity, however. These are residue, acting on habit patterns, and they must be eventually erased.

I suggest you leave room for spontaneity on Fridays. Ruburt has become somewhat sensitized to the day because of the old Catholic connection of not eating meat. This has to do with the difficulty in buying groceries, the fish being an act of denial, you see.

Earlier suggestions given by me should be heeded. He should try and see himself walking winningly down the street. When you go dancing, it would help if he wore clothes that he has worn in the past when he danced well, you see. I did not recommend, I do not recommend, Ida’s clothing, for she has back difficulties, and these were known to you. (Ida is my brother Bill’s wife.)

I will make myself better known to you when you are ready for me to do so.

Praise him, without of course overdoing it (smile) but praise him when he is doing well and showing improvement, and encourage him. Do not comment overmuch about symptoms when they occur.

Again do not ignore them, but do not let your comments act as a negative suggestion that already might reinforce those that he has inadvertently given himself. Comfort him when this is necessary, but the comforting should follow the lines of constructive suggestions: “You will feel better soon.”

Your own projection attempts can be achieved now in the dream state, for you can take advantage of the time that you do not have in waking existence. A few such deliberate experiments, suggested before sleep, will give you the confidence you need to carry through on a waking projection. You need this practice, Joseph.
