Now. The healthy person takes health for granted. He takes it for granted as he does the air that he breathes. He can appreciate his health as he can appreciate the air, without feeling that either is going to be taken from him. He is not concerned with his health because he takes it on trust unthinkingly, as he takes his life on trust.

You take your artistic ability on trust. You consider it a part of you. Ruburt considers his writing a part of him. There are people highly gifted with artistic abilities, who have never trusted those abilities, did not consider them a part of themselves, and practically speaking have been unable to use them.

You are left with, as of now, the results of negative beliefs, projected upon certain portions of the body. The old charges have pretty well worn down. You should try to help him in this game—understanding how it works. Even if you want to play it with him, it is extremely important that it is an “as if” imaginative game.

In his “as if” game, have Ruburt imagine he is having his period, buying his Tampax. This is all he need do—not hammer the point. This and your satisfactory sexual relationship, now, will also help. He feels more now that you accept him as a woman. For a while he felt you did not.

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.

He wants to be a healthy present self, not a healthy past self. A good deal of the weight problem is not a problem. You have both to some extent overexaggerated it. He can use more weight. The energy used in worrying about the condition has taken up the small leeway that would have given him weight. In the best of health he will not be a heavy person, for example.

Spending money as Ruburt has been doing, and his freedom with his creative-writing money, will give him more. In this area, and in taking on greater rent, you act on the trust that more is available, and so it has been and will be.
