You spoke to Ruburt about imagination, and he must learn to use it for his benefit, through imagining himself free and well. This fear itself should be faced for what it is, and dealt with like any other fear. Ruburt considers it almost unspeakable. (The fear that he will not get well.)
Both of you, remembering the article you read this evening (about Picasso), should keep in mind the immense energies of the inner self to solve such problems, to set the personality aright, and literally get it back on its feet.
