Your trip (Sunday, April 13; we drove to Cortland, NY) was beneficial, but it was impeded by negative thoughts of Ruburt’s, and also to some degree by the fact that you pointed out his symptoms without reminding him that the inner self could and would minimize them. You need to remind him when he forgets.

It is helpful to point out that he is holding himself stiffly for example, but not in that manner. The approach should be “You can be flexible, you can relax. Remember your inner self is helping you relax, and be flexible.” Or touch him as you say this and speak directly to the neck or shoulders or whatever is involved.

Now when Ruburt tried to apply these laws in the past, he often did so erroneously out of a fear of action. As mentioned earlier, he exaggerated the power of aggression, so that the simplest self-protective act frightened him, and resentments built up.

Now. Ruburt of course must work on his own attitudes along with the healing process. The knowledge that you are helping him however is of great import, and you can often help him when he needs it most. Health is not your hang-up. Because of your love of him, and his receptivity to you, you can be of great benefit; and touch on your part is far more important than either of you realize.

It was only your idea that this was not natural that prevented you from using your abilities fully. Ruburt thought it was natural for him to become ill because of his background, and to overreact for the same reason. He thought it was natural for him to be afraid of life because his mother was.

He need not concentrate upon images. Now he has been imagining himself happy in and out of the windows to clean them, and had some trouble with the images. Have him instead simply imagine his joy and freedom with the performance completed, and forget the means.

He is sitting inside looking out at the clean windows he has just washed from the outside. Have him imagine his feelings with the full realization that his entire strength and flexibility have returned. What will he say and what will he do—his joy and release, and forget the how.

The intuitive realization came this afternoon, though he did not realize it, for it is natural for his body to bring him ease, pleasure and satisfaction.
