I will help you in certain areas. Others will help you in other areas. The energy generated continues to generate more energy, and more will be available for you both to use. The spontaneity was excellent, and Ruburt has learned to give his spontaneous self more freedom in our work.

Your recommendation to him earlier was excellent, having to do with his exercises, and the book. (Psycho-Cybernetics.)

Ruburt’s clairvoyant abilities need farther development, and I will help here, for instance. Much of your own energy has been used in the situation involving yourself and Ruburt and your joint problems. His energy is now, incidentally, normal— that is, his energy is at the point where it was, but now its emergence will not be blocked as it was at that point, just before his symptoms.

It is unblocked, and will grow. To some extent you have been waiting to see how his condition would develop, and you will soon feel some release and emergence of energy on your part. Some did come, and you used it well Friday evening.

Your own psychic development came to some comparative (underlined) standstill, as did Ruburt’s, for a while during the darkest periods last winter. You shut your own down, partially feeling guilty at your part in Ruburt’s dilemma. His slowed down simply out of fear. Now both of you will move.

Ruburt’s abilities began to expand again when he realized he would regain his health in the late spring. (Pause.) The book (Psycho-Cybernetics) will do you every bit as much good as it will do Ruburt, and I recommend it heartily, with some variations, as a basis upon which to build the rest of your days.

Ruburt could have solved his problems, as we have said, without such severe symptoms. He is returning to health. Neither of you need have any doubts here.

Now listen. Because of his background with his mother he had built up in defense a strong dislike, not merely for illness, for this (Jane, eyes open wide, pointed at me for emphasis), is beneficial, but a strong dislike (pause) that amounted almost (underlined) to hatred, for anyone who was sick, particularly crippled in any way, or hampered in motion.

He was in no position to help others, for he hated their vulnerability. For his own development therefore he needed to face this on his own and conquer it. Otherwise he would never be able to look upon the sick with a compassionate or understanding eye.

Again, he was too terrified. He will completely recover, and then his story will have meaning. You both knew this. You had your own time of it, partially for the same reason, but he had to face the depths of his own terror, and rise and walk away from it, if he were ever to help others do the same.

There was no easy way therefore, really, though easier ways were available. Had he chosen them, there would have been other problems to face in their stead that would have greatly hampered both his development and your own.

(Pause.) The material just given also helps to explain, you see, the dark emotional depths he traveled, for he followed this very far, spiritually to the depths, and then began his way out. I was a light, but I did not want to help him too much or I would have hampered him. Do you see?

Ruburt aided you by helping to develop your spontaneity. Now you repay him by showing him how to rediscover his own. The question of medium will end up as relatively unimportant.

(Repeat.) This will pass, as it will in Ruburt’s case. You have lost the intent, afraid to have dreams about your parents. This is also the reason, the main one, why Ruburt has not recalled his.

(High, Low and Psycho.) He can trust himself to write to his parents now incidentally. I have nothing to say concerning the poetry this evening, and I suggest we end the session unless you have pressing questions.

Ruburt should endeavor to forget his arms. He is overly concerned with them now, and this holds the image of them in his mind. This clouds the image of his arms in their normal healthy position. Let him forget about them, and they will return to normal. His attention is directed too much toward them. (Long pause.) As for your earlier comments let him focus upon his general goals. He is not having success with the exercises I suggested because he is trying too hard. (Seth’s suggested motion exercises, instead of passive ones.
