Ruburt’s physical system, at its own pace, is righting itself. He is also receiving help requested. (Pause. Pace slower.) I am trying to give you some information concerning the back symptom, and will have to deepen Ruburt’s trance, because of what you might call the underground noises. Those coming from below.

He is attempting to hide from himself the importance he feels connected to the chapter he has just finished and will send to Mossman. Holding himself like this, you see.

In the face of possible rejection, which old attitudes now and then make him expect, he adopts a rigid rather than flexible stance. There is no reason to expect such rejection to begin with. The point is, it has been his habitual response. In the past the reaction would have been much stronger however. Again, the point is that he covered up the fear of rejection, and tried to minimize the place of importance that the chapter has for him.

Now he did a good job on the chapter, and it will help him if he imagines the entire book to be a young beautiful sapling that moves easily with each breeze, the nerves like tiny unseen branches, soft and flexible, going even out from his body.

The change in his subjective life is considerable, as the psychic work and his easy manner in the chapter clearly shows. A psychic and spiritual openness will now help on his part. He did not want to admit the importance of the chapter, although he knows it is good. He did not want to send it out for fear it would come back—underline back.

Now. The condition catches him frequently when he attempts to breathe deeply. He was afraid the chapter would catch him up, just when he was ready to relax and let go, a deep breath signifying a breath of relief. He should be able you see to take a deep breath of relief, and feel relaxed because the chapter is completed, and he knows well he can follow through with the book. But he was afraid to grant himself that release for the old fears of rejection stop him.

This was also the reason for various other symptoms of which he did not tell you this week. A clenching of the jaws. All of these reactions are far less than they would have been some months ago, and many areas of the body that would have been affected then are now free, even from such reactions, but he should not allow them to slide by.

When he does not use the pendulum it is obviously a symptom that there is something he does not want to face, and that for the time he will accept the symptoms. But that attitude, again, is a symptom of what still remains of inner confusion. Your supportive help is and has been far more important than you realize, and it is in all such relationships.

When we are finished with the discussion we have begun (on time), there will be many dealing with the subject, not necessarily connected however with your own situation. Ruburt’s psychic climate has indeed changed for the better, but in periods of physical symptoms beyond his present norm, you can greatly assist in such a manner, for these are simply—or not so simply—miniature pitfalls. He gets out of them with much more rapidity, and they are not as deep but you can give him a boost. (Humorously.)

Now. The yoga exercises are good but can be performed with a lighter heart, not a do-or-die attitude. He should make fun out of them.

Say that you are going to try to see Prentice-Hall’s reaction—will they accept the manuscript or not? Then imagine the blank picture as if you were going to paint it in your mind. Either see Ruburt painted in with the expression on his face as he reads the significant letter, and instead of the title the date of the letter.
