Now: we will begin again. There is an excellent book, called The Nature of Personal Reality. It will help many. It will help the two of you particularly, because your personal realities are so involved in it. That is, it will if you read it.

We are starting anew, and again this time I will not hold another session for you unless you follow what I say this evening.

You are to begin the book together, making notations as what I say applies personally, and together each of you following through with the exercises given. You want results, so, at the very least a ½ hour a day is to be used for this purpose, and when you have the time an hour. Before any time-consuming exercises are given however, read the book together and discuss it as it applies.

You live in private yet joint realities. Ruburt has chosen his, and you have chosen that his reality be involved with yours. Ruburt is not simply stuck with a bunch of symptoms, and you are not stuck just with a wife who has problems.

Now give us a moment. (Pause.) You are financially secure. Ruburt’s classes will not suffer despite appearances (the energy crisis). Much of what I said last evening applied to you, Joseph. Ruburt, so sensitive to your moods, and being self-conditioned to some extent himself negatively, reacted. He wanted to help you, and felt powerless to a large extent.

Your decision not to go to Florida had little to do with the energy crisis. You were both loath to leave your work behind and to allow yourselves the “lax” freedom. You wanted to get on with your own work, and to wait for the proofs of my book. You felt guilty at the thought of enjoying yourself so soon after your mother’s death. You felt some self-punishment, denying yourself the trip to make up for what you felt you might have done for her in the past.

You have never allowed yourselves creative decorating freedom here, for example, and thus denied yourselves considerable satisfaction. Now the walking is directly involved with all of this. With the ideas of either buying a house or going to Florida, and what these issues involve in line with your current beliefs as given. Your mother’s death makes Ruburt want to go further inward for more answers. At the same time he is trying to make outer decisions.

Now: we can only get so much through in an evening. I will continue this at your earliest convenience—but begin at once as given with the book, and the understanding, I hope, you will achieve from this session. I bid you a fond good evening, but unless you do what I have said, and until you do, we will not have another private session, for you will not be ready for it.
