In all of these areas expectations bring about physical reality.

Up to now you both have been playing the illness game strongly, in your imagination both creating symptoms, imprisoning Ruburt within them in the present, seeing them in the future, and examining future events in the light of present symptoms.

The set and expectations will change. It is important that you try to play this with him, or know what he is doing, simply because you reinforce each other so strongly. So you play your own “as if” game with him. This will help. Do it in the same manner. As Ruburt knows from his reading today (Psycho-Cybernetics) when the dawn suddenly burst, any discouragements should be accepted as part of the learning process with which he is involved—and the failures, particularly of the past, forgotten. You should not remind him of them either, or concentrate upon them yourself.

Past feelings of abundance from other lives can help you ignite a current love of abundance and concentration upon it. When you, now, Joseph, find yourself enraged, or even just upset, about world conditions or the behavior of your fellow men, certainly admit your feelings and express them. Realize however that it is up to you in which areas of reality you concentrate.

An overconcentration in those areas helps bring about those conditions in your own experience. There are great parallel existences now occurring, always occurring, all taking place within the area of physical activity. To some men there is no good. The world is not to be trusted, and their experience proves it. Others dwell in a world that is filled with all kinds of abundance. Both worlds are real, both are created by those who experience them. You know that robbers exist. You do not dwell on the matter however; it hardly overbalances your greater feelings of trust, and so while granting that thieves live, you go unbothered.

If you began a practice of following all reports of such crimes, you would soon find yourself experiencing the fact of thievery, drawing to you those people because of your own concentration. The same applies to all areas of activity.
