For the record, again, I suggest the running and the up and down movements. These are imperative, and tell him I said so. Now I have two simple exercises. I want these done every day. They take hardly any time, but will be most effective.

Any impeding subconscious ideas are bypassed. Now. The book that you have just received from Prentice (Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain), will have an important effect upon Ruburt, and a beneficial one, helping to increase his confidence in his own abilities.

The present notes he has written to himself are highly effective, and he should follow them and the procedure they suggest. What he felt this week, and in beginning his book, was the rousing of his energies. Then he can direct them. Now when he feels a sense of exhilaration—he knows the subjective feeling I refer to—then have him direct it, that energy, to his arms.

You have been holding on to your own symptoms while Ruburt still has his. They are like notes to yourself, reminding you that things are still not as good as they should be. Tell yourself that you can help yourself and Ruburt far better without the disease caused by the symptoms. Once they were reminders that you also had a part to play in the entire situation. You accept that fact now, and therefore no longer require them. The need for them is over. Once they were meant to promote your psychological understanding, but now they can only impede your progress; and you are also slightly resentful at Ruburt, feeling that he is somewhat responsible, by still maintaining his symptoms, for your own.

This also serves to punish you for the resentment, since by not giving this more positive support, which incidentally is far more effective than you would imagine—you also to some degree help to hold back that which you both want so badly.

A small remark: The resentment of which I spoke earlier caused some overreaction on your part when you would have visited (underlined) your landlady over the dog episode—when a call was sufficient. These are simply pointers. You may take your break.

Often you can help each other quite effectively, direct your energies toward the other, and bypass those impediments that help prevent you from using your own psychic energy as well as you should in your own behalf; so that you can help Ruburt in some areas where he is weak, and he can help you in some areas where you are weak. You get a full concentration of healing energy in this way, and directed through love.

I did want to remind him that many of his classes, and our class sessions, have this effect, and again remind him the notes he has made himself are excellent for him.
