Now. I want to talk to you. We are near the end of this chapter. You may take notes or not, as you prefer. I have taken Ruburt to task many times. Now it is your turn.

Now these episodes begin and follow a rhythmic pattern, and Ruburt recognizes it. You begin to concentrate upon the negative (underlined three times) aspects of the news in the paper. This initiates such an episode. You go from that to the neighbors, the environment, Ruburt’s condition, and Prentice.

As you do, your behavior does change, and Ruburt there (underlined) is not projecting. You look at him on some (underlined) occasions—far less than in the past—with great impatience and disapproval, as far as his physical condition is concerned, so that he feels he would have greater dignity alone on his knees than trying to walk with you with that look in your eyes.

You do exaggerate the Prentice relationship negatively. There are negative aspects, but you concentrate upon them. You accuse Ruburt of never forgetting a thing that you said of a negative nature, but you hold all of Prentice’s errors in your mind, and so far refuse to concentrate upon any good in that relationship.

Now Ruburt worked against that concentration of yours in producing Seven. Now he is very much in love with you, so it is difficult to get some of this data through. He does not like you criticized. Your own ideas concerning the artist in society being poor, mistreated and at the mercy of others—now this is a core belief of yours that you consider a truth, and the nature of reality.

That is the nature of an invisible belief. If you had been more intimately connected with Ruburt’s classes, the same hassle would have resulted. Now Ruburt until recently has had the same sort of belief concerning his body and its abilities. The artist was not physical—simply put, a thumbnail description.

You can recognize the limitations. He is still in the process of trying to conquer that. His freedom, earned, has been bringing results financially and creatively in work areas. It has resulted in a greater freedom in our sessions because the two of you together discussed your conscious beliefs about sessions, and Ruburt learned that many of his previous beliefs here were limited.

Last summer there were some important improvements physically, plus a rebirth of Ruburt’s creative abilities. The reasons should be obvious. You each gave yourselves daily suggestions that are no more than the repetition of new conscious beliefs.

Now: tell Ruburt there will be schools of thought built upon core beliefs. Tell him that.
