—and we will begin part two of this evening’s session. To speak in terms of mastering a situation already phrases a situation in poor terms. (A remark I made during discussion, etc.) You choose situations in order to learn and understand. The two of you, now, chose that aspect of your lives together in this life, to help you understand the meaningful relationship between spontaneity as connected with the emotions and creativity, and discipline as connected with the intellectual: to feel and understand the creative tension that connects them both, to learn the personal aspects of emotional relationships as they affect others, and the reflection of the emotions into creative endeavor. You served to help Ruburt find in this life direction. He also helped spur your own sense of direction in your early days together, when you turned from commercial art.

The commercial art served your emotions quite simply. It allowed you to release your emotions in stereotyped impersonal ways. Some situations, drawn, might be of highly charged areas—the Spillane strips, for example—yet the release of the emotion was stereotyped. You knew that one of Ruburt’s purposes would be to insist upon the expression of your emotions to him personally. Because of other life aspects you knew this.

You have always wanted, in this life, to express yourself emotionally in that fashion. You taught him how to direct his emotions in his work. Because of the tensions and the challenges, however, and for other reasons having to do with this existence, Ruburt became worried that you would not relate to him in the emotional way that his nature demanded. You asked me how you could relate to him emotionally. Do you remember, in a recent session?

We cannot have a session until dawn. I want to give you, therefore some more immediate suggestions. You have, you know, done well with Ruburt since our last sessions. He needed a while to be reassured that you were not going to change back. He does not want you to baby him, nor do I. He is worried that you will think he does.

Now with Ruburt, not necessarily generally, specific suggestions work well, when they are not overdone for example, and the progress then serves as an extra reinforcement. Regardless of the reasons, there are habits of thought, specifically, regarding the symptoms, for example. Psycho-Cybernetics programs will help him there, dehypnotizing him. If he imagines himself easily and playfully, now, mounting the stairs or going down, this will help. He must not tell himself “The next time I will do it right,” but do it as a game, imaginatively.

With the emotional rapport, and following through on the suggestions given, there will be added improvements, and some quite startling. Money-wise you will be fine, and trust Ruburt in money matters. Your shelter (in quotes) “problem” will be taken care of. You will do well.

The main problem being the emotional rapport. Now while this has shown itself in Ruburt’s symptoms, it also showed itself in your work. Yet it was not your problem alone, but a challenge for both of you, as stated earlier in the session. It is important that you see that clearly also, so if you have questions on it ask me when you read this over.
