The tree, or trees, Ruburt had painted on the kitchen wall, were not beneficial symbols. They were winter trees, you see, done in black. If he intends decorating there, sun symbols would help.

The blandness, comparatively speaking, in previous paintings of your apartment did not overall reflect Ruburt’s personality, which is given to contrasts. He is correct. The bathroom should be redone, and gaily. For too long it has represented the place where he faced the results of conflict—his symptoms.

The cupboards there should particularly be repainted; the ceiling is not important, do as you wish. This room collected about it the atmosphere of Ruburt’s desperation. The soap dish in the shower should be replaced. The bathmat should be put away for some time. It may be used later in the future.

A complete change of color is strongly recommended. A gay contrasting color. These measures will dissipate lingering ghost images and associations. The new bath towels, incidentally, these are an excellent idea. Ruburt was strongly attracted to your new rug because of the contrast, this in itself allows steady and harmonious expression of his own personality.

Ruburt’s classes will do well (very true, July 1971), and will serve as a natural spontaneous and beneficial outlet for his aggressions. These have built up for some time; will now be released beneficially, for all concerned, in springs of enthusiasm and energy directed outward through the teaching encounter.

For the first time, you will soon be in a position where Ruburt’s energy will be correctly utilized for your psychic, spiritual and financial benefit. All energy should be directed on his part into making the classes a success.

A small remark here. Ruburt is still slightly distrustful of the new conditions, asking will they last. This results in the lingering strong sensitivities, which will vanish as he becomes reassured. He was literally terrified. I cannot stress this too strongly. It is taking him a while to realize that he is free. But he is doing so, and energy is being released and is available to him, that was not available earlier.

Those who are not completely focused in physical reality will look for other ways of fulfilling their needs. As a rule with other issues taken into consideration, they will not have children. They will be left with the need for fulfillment however. This was your case and Ruburt’s.

I am hardly a child substitute, you see. Conversely, if you had a child it would have been much more difficult for you to make communication with me, because of the direction of your own energy and focus. Because of the physical connotations Ruburt’s age was a fairly significant circumstance as far as the beginning (underlined) of his development was concerned. He finally knew that it would not be in usual physical terms.

He was intellectually certain of this in the past, but not emotionally certain. The same can be said in your case. Now you amplify our communications in a very highly charged manner. This is why your relationship with Ruburt, you see, is so important in the sessions. When he is confident of you, he is free in the sessions.

All of these issues prepared you psychically and psychologically to make this kind of contact. The balance between aggressiveness and passivity on Ruburt’s part also forms a highly charged medium that allows him to act in his present capacity in the sessions. Any exploration into other realities involves an aggressive thrust on the one hand toward fulfillment, with hope of freedom you see. This has its psychological connotations within your system.

I am thinking of practical suggestions to give you. Yellows and blues are good. Ruburt need not go to the chiropractor for a while. Somewhat later a few adjustments may be of help, simply as a physical measure of correcting any misalignments that have not been corrected otherwise. Though this may be unnecessary. Tell him to use peanut oil in his salads. Continue with the cod liver oil for now.

This is always beneficial for him, particularly on a troublesome area of the body. The time in the sun is also important. The classes represent an encounter on his part, with the rest of the world on his terms. A very healthy sign, and a sign that after some years you two are solving a long-standing problem concerning Ruburt’s contribution.
