Ruburt need not spend 24 hours a day thinking about his work. Remember he is to trust the inner self. Now let him keep his regular hours. He must remember to focus within the present. When he is going about household chores for example, let him give his mind a rest. Concentrate upon the chores joyfully.

Not only this, but he needs other interests to refresh him. I have in the past suggested he resume painting. The yoga is good, excellent for him. It should be done joyfully. He need not always be so serious. These points sound obvious, but they should be followed. This gives the inner self freedom. He has been hammering again, though now he hammers with a better purpose. (Smile.)

He has felt the need of sleep because he has been overly anxious to set things right. These suggestions, followed, will return him to his proper course. I am able to tell him such things now. Months ago he would not have allowed me to speak until he had a return of symptoms. We are short-circuiting all of that now.

One more note. Ruburt should remember to keep other interests also. This lets him take his conscious attention away from psychic matters and allows them freedom. Dancing, gardening, painting. He can afford to play. (Humor.) Now that he is “good,” in quotes, he need not make a saint of himself overnight. (Emphatic.)

You are recognizing certain limitations that these developments put upon you. The inner attitudes must be completely changed, though your methods and styles need not necessarily change one iota. It would help you however to attempt larger work. You are afraid of tackling too much feeling at once, and the mere fact of working larger would free you from this to some considerable extent.
