Now, Good evening.

The walking progress is already assured because of inner physical events now occurring. These are following their own course, but some exterior improvement in that area should very shortly be showing.

The area of concentration now however should be not upon the body but upon daily living, his writing and your plans. (The Nature of) Personal Reality quite assures your financial situation for some time to come. One point I want to mention: Ruburt’s mother tried to escape poverty through the calculated unrelenting use of her beauty, and it did not work. Ruburt in his own way tried to escape poverty through the use of his brains, and he was afraid that that was not going to work either. Ruburt’s brains however gave him much more leeway than his mother’s beauty gave her, and his intellect came with a counterpart—an intuitional and psychic counterpart that enriched it and kept it from becoming bitter or even ingrown.

In his twenties he could well combine the idea of little money with his writing because he realized it might be that kind of profession, but he became frightened as the years passed. I am simply putting this in consecutive fashion, emphasizing certain points for convenience’s sake now. The check, even in those terms, you see, was important. It is being assimilated along those lines. Then he will be able to feel completely free from that particular kind of long-term charged reaction.

He realizes well now that money is not all that important, yet the old beliefs were so entangled that he had to prove to himself that it was not so important after he achieved it. Otherwise he would always tell himself that he believed money basically unimportant because he was not able to achieve it.

Now: you had built-in status in Ruburt’s eyes, simply because you were an artist. Status did not imply so much a place in society as a place of self. It held one to some extent aloof from society, being by nature an inbuilt superiority. Carried too far, such an idea can lead to an isolationism in which only work is important, and the daily joys experienced by others become unimportant and trivial. The very intuitive feelings behind the writer image were based upon the mysticism of nature, the joy of creaturehood; and yet pursued with too much literal-mindedness, the determination to write, once equated with work, led to important denials in those precise areas.

A concentration upon your plans, daily life, writing, and free psychic activity, will best now allow the body to continue its improvements without being watched at every moment. All suggestions as given should be continued. I will not give you definite recommendations as to what you should do now. There should be some alterations however, changes simply to mark the end of one era and the beginning of another, even if it is but a brief vacation, or series of small trips.
