While Ruburt was in the framework of beliefs he held, the apartment house then did serve somewhat as a countermeasure. Sometimes he may have reacted negatively, but the relationships were important. He was not trustful enough of his own being to handle his daily life in more isolated circumstances.

The walking however is also important. There is no time limit set there. The walking will become easier, and as it does he can then walk further. For now let him continue as he has, but daily, walking to the corner when he feels the impetus.

Give us a moment here. The old body beliefs were adopted to serve the purposes of other beliefs about work that have now almost, but not entirely, completely dissolved. They have dissolved sufficiently enough to be inconsequential.

In time the body beliefs connected with them could dissolve by themselves, but the pattern of habit still operates, and some of the habits can be tackled much more easily than Ruburt realizes.

The man who was bothered by epilepsy did Ruburt a service and Ruburt definitely helped him; but there in dramatic fashion Ruburt saw how beliefs operated, and through helping the individual also saw the best ways he could help himself and others as well. The man had his reassuring rituals.

All is progressing at its own rate, however, and tell Ruburt to trust this. The rituals will be abandoned, but gradually, slipping away. The inner self knows what it is doing. Ruburt is being released. There is no doubt of it—but in a safe, natural, and ever-accelerating rate both for his body and development.

I do not mean this will be a long drawn-out process either, but one in which he tastes freedom gradually, is not frightened but steadily encouraged, and in which there will be no backslidings, but understandings at all levels of body-mind relationships.

Aspects is extremely important, for it represents the reorganization of his ideas, and in a highly creative framework. Continue the program precisely as I have outlined it. I have an addition of sorts to add. He has not begun squatting. I want this begun. He may even hold on to something if he wants to, but I want him to feel the sensation of letting go once a day at least, in a squatting position. As he progresses three such movements at one time will be of great benefit.

He is more embarrassed now by his walking because of a healthy impatience that is understandable, but this must be kept under control so that it does not hamper him. When you are with him others do not offer to help—they see that he is taken care of. When he is alone and trying to be independent then people offer and he becomes dismayed. He used the last episode (on the back stairs) to trigger an important development in walking up the stairs, but he is not to imagine that everyone else is perfect because they look all right; then he deals with absolutes, becomes frightened, and exaggerates his condition, thinking in physical terms alone and forgetting those inner abilities of his, of creativity, that are indeed so important.
