It was a welcome to the spontaneous self, expressed creatively. The idea is an excellent one. A poetic statement carries weight for his personality, and this poetic statement has almost magical connotations. As natives do a dance to induce rain, with often excellent results, so Ruburt’s poem represents the same sort of incantation.

The act of writing the poem at this time, regardless of the poem’s message, you see, represents a willingness to allow the spontaneous self expression. The message itself then doubly reinforces the suggestion. Even the emotion in the first portion, spontaneously expressed and creatively formed into art, is a good indication.

Now. Ruburt was correct. He did not want to admit his own strong spontaneous nature. It has not gone anywhere. He need only strongly desire that it return, on his terms, and he will find it.

In his case he made alterations that severely prevented expression of spontaneity, in physical movement. To some extent this was meant to reassure him. When he realizes, and you can help him, that he is indeed safe, only when he trusts his spontaneity, then he will be free.

He is in the process of freeing himself, but the assurances from you can quicken the process considerably. The working schedule will help also, for as he sees the product of his spontaneity, he knows he can trust it. The body worked overtime in quelling spontaneity, and used needed reserves to maintain the symptoms. The same reserves, you see, can be used to construct images. When images of survival personalities appear, they must also utilize such properties.

Now. The reason for his unrest yesterday and today is simple. A reaction. He was afraid that his spontaneous self had been swallowed in our sessions. The emotional reaction was rather natural, since our last session touched on some deep points.

The poem was the resolution of the fear however, and a good sign. He does not need to fear the sudden release of the spontaneous self. (Jane pointed at me for emphasis.)He knows it is being released. He knows he is releasing it. But he has been afraid of releasing it suddenly, for fear it would engulf him. This is of course a symptom of the entire problem. (Leans forward.) It is the main reason he still has symptoms. It is why the few sudden releases, as with the Prentice letter, have in the past been followed by poorer days for a while.

You can also help by reminding him that his safety does lie in spontaneity, and that joy will result from any complete and sudden release. In the past he did not want to accept his spontaneous nature because he felt he was not sufficiently disciplined or strong enough to control it, and he did not want to accept the responsibility for it.

We have one further note. Ruburt’s spontaneous nature is tolerant, sunny, quite natively good in his terms—qualities that he finds so difficult when he tries to manufacture them while denying spontaneity. I expect now a definite change for the better, and as soon as Ruburt is ready, then we will begin my book.

One point: the spontaneous self is the healer. Tell Ruburt that. (Pause.) I will now then close our session, and leave you, I hope, in anticipation for our next.
