In the exercises both will, faith and assertion, come into play in coordinated effort that is met by performance, and by achievement. He gives himself then physical achievement, and for the first time can say “I did this or that, that I set my mind on, and am succeeding.”

There will be a beneficial mental and physical carryover from the exercises to other activities, particularly as the trust is built up. You have not been at them for a full week yet. The exercises in the past would not have been effective. You were both lacking the feeling of optimism that would make them work. They must be consistently carried through however, as a time of day set aside for physical achievement.

The exaggeration of negative influences was brought about because of the repression. Now, for example: so as not to bother you, Ruburt made it a point of conscience to speak to your mother on the phone for you, and not call you, when he did not want to do so. Very seldom was he even aware of his true feelings here, and when he was he was ashamed of them, and was 10 times nicer to your mother to cover up the feelings from all of you.

Besides this he felt highly inadequate because he knew that all the time your mother of course would have preferred two minutes with you to ten with him, so then he felt unappreciated. You had a menagerie of repressed feelings. This is just one instance.

In his own way he is fond of your mother at the same time, you see, but also terrified of her because the repressions cause him to exaggerate the hidden fears. When you are frightened of fears then the most minute one is exaggerated.

Give us time here. Changing the direction of the bed would automatically help matters some, but (humorously) Ruburt does not like it the other way.
