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.

At the same time the early beliefs were there, and were mentioned to some extent along with other issues. These also had to do with the unremitting purpose of work. In the meantime his intellect and intuitive abilities both discovered that the daily joy of living was important—as important as “work” or money.

For a time however a conglomeration of beliefs merged, so that he felt that he had to drive himself unremittingly: and this meant, to him, imposing disciplines as given earlier. The fears of time, the early fears that made him want to escape poverty, the feeling that all eggs must be put in one basket, and his reaction to you and your circumstances—these were all connected.
