I want Ruburt to read his last session daily (of August 2, 1972). He has not done so. He has made an attempt however to follow the suggestions, and this has given him some pointers about his subjective state of mind. Some improvements have indeed shown themselves. But the entire session is important, and each of the suggestions is geared for him.

Now the affair with Venice’s friend involved the false prophet idea again. It seemed to Ruburt, with his understanding, that if his information was coming from a paranormal source, and that source was good, then it must also prove itself to be infallible, or he was a false prophet. He also felt accused by you, believing that if he was using his abilities really fully, as you wanted him to, then there would have been a way provided so the woman would not die.

Now, I have been following your discussion, and to some good degree you are correct. Ruburt has allowed himself to become hypnotized by certain images and ideas, that he considered true.

Try to adjust your own attitude as you hope Ruburt will adjust his. Encourage him therefore to follow the session, and assure him that you believe he can follow it. Do not tell him ahead of time that he will not succeed. Do you follow me?

Now. Thoughts have their own energy. Your thoughts and everyone else’s. Your own greater awareness now, with Ruburt, to him represents the first real break in your armor. It will also serve to release feelings of joy that you have inhibited. These feelings are released not only in paintings that you are working on, say, now, but on paintings that were completed earlier. Your emotional reality permeates everything with which you come in contact—across the board, regardless of the time element.

These feelings, this extra vitality, enriches then paintings that you did in the past earlier. These feelings were picked up by the people who have been buying your paintings of late, and the same feelings will radiate outward, you see, wherever the paintings may be. As the session is followed Ruburt’s joy will be liberated through the body in the same way. Do you follow me?

You are quite correct, that conscious involvement is necessary on Ruburt’s part. But then the released energy can act on the images in the same way that the feelings acted on the paintings.

The feelings or emotions automatically reach out, therefore, altering all objects within your reality, but from the particular focus point of its emergence. In Ruburt’s case the body, where the lack of joy showed, and in your case in the paintings, where the greater expressiveness will now add—and has—its own vitality.

If you do well financially, then your well-doing puts a burden upon them, to understand the validity of your kind of life, and Ruburt’s. This makes them question in ways that make them uncomfortable. Yet you do what you do for them, also. For certain portions of their personalities, under different circumstances, tempered differently, have leanings in those directions. But the core of their being does not.

To a lesser extent the same applies to Ruburt and the sister-in-laws. A woman choosing to have no children is not a woman they can understand, yet each wonders what other abilities of their own they might have nourished, or what they would have been. For Ruburt to make money, to become known, puts this same kind of burden upon them, you see, of understanding.
