This does not imply that I am unsympathetic. He correctly but imperfectly recalled a dream during your vacation, in which I was helping him with his health problems.

The following morning his condition was worse than it was during your entire vacation. From then on, however, it improved. He would not have been able to take your mountain jaunts at all, earlier. I was having a heart-to-heart talk with him. I have had others, but this was the first time he barely remembered.

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.

The initial poor reaction the morning following our little chat was simply the result of a temporary fear of letting go. It was of short duration, however. Ruburt did experience a sense of freedom in your hiking activities as a result, that was highly beneficial; and such activities are good for they increase his confidence. Of course, it was more difficult going down the hills—the significance of letting go is more apparent.

For all of these reasons I suggest the letter be mailed. The fact of the letter shows that he had reached a certain level of acceptance and understanding. These people can and will help him, and add their mental and psychic energy to his own in a strongly supportive manner. They will be able to activate other layers of his consciousness, and they are indeed professionally suited to do so, as I am to teach.

In his daily life however, as I have told him in the past, the yoga exercises should be continued. He agrees with me but then he lets them slide. They are psychic, spiritual and physical exercises that will let him handle energy more effectively, and release his abilities smoothly. As a part of his daily life they will facilitate the development of his abilities, and therefore help in our sessions.

Spontaneity will rise up during the hours given to work, and outside those hours, but he must continue those habits upon which his well-being depends. The energy that will be released will show itself most beneficially, being directed into your other affairs. Our sessions will now be held with normal regularity, and very shortly I will begin my own book. I have been working on it, you see. (Amused and confidential.)

This had to do with our chat, that he recalls as a dream. It resulted in your mountain-tumbling, which was very important to him. Some rather important changes crystallized, which seems something of a contradiction, as far as his own thoughts were concerned. He hinted at this when he told you that he was concentrating upon recovery.

The affirmations are of help, and his overall attitude has definitely and significantly changed.

Now, he was able to soak up energy in your natural surroundings, and to use it. Of course, he was ready to do so. The physical activity diverted his conscious mind so that the inner self could progress, without being watched at every moment.

They were highly impressed. They did not, however, see through Bernard’s real meaning. Van Over did sense it. He has some abilities of his own, incidentally, of which he is not aware. When Ruburt is completely healed his health will be exuberant—not a halfway thing. It is his way. (Amused.
