When you say “I will do this myself,” you are speaking with a limited idea of identity. You are more than you know. The you that paints your paintings is far more than the Bob Butts you call yourself, though you are that Bob Butts. There is a matter of terms. Now Ruburt, you may say, has done all the hard work leading to a recovery alone; but he has had help. The recovery itself was utterly dependent upon his belief in it, however. (Pause.) This was his primary battle, for he understood finally what the illness represented. Every personality is different. The prerequisites for recovery are therefore different in each case.

In some cases of spiritual healing, belief is not necessary. In Ruburt’s case belief and unbelief were part of the problem itself. Belief therefore was necessary, for unbelief of spontaneity, fear of spontaneity, was a basic cause of the difficulty.

The freedom will also show in our sessions, and rather obviously, within a very brief time. It is already apparent. To become aware of other individuals who are not within your system will be good for him. It will also help him to understand and appreciate my own unique reality, and this now-growing belief should result in a greater familiarity. He should be able to perceive me to some degree before too long.
