Give us a moment.... The tension in the head area was applied gradually over a period of time. Ruburt was not aware of it, specifically, as he began to limit, say, the range of the eyes’ motions, for that happened inconspicuously enough as the head motions were restricted. In a manner of speaking, everything was in proportion.

The body’s latest efforts to heal itself, Ruburt’s strong intent to become flexible, and your own help and encouragement, have led to a situation in which all of those tensions, exerted over a long period of time, are in the process of rather speedily being released. They are bound to cause certain sensations, unfamiliar feelings, unsynchronized motions. If the process were slower, of course, you might not notice the sensations.

I am trying to make a point without overstressing it. You cannot expect such overall bodily changes, and not expect to feel them. The symptoms crept up on Ruburt, so to speak, now. It is true there are miraculous, instant, healings. I will discuss them at another time. Often they are permanent. On other occasions they may rid the individual of one problem in such a way that he only finds a different one.

It may seem that the body’s release should only bring feelings of comfort and greater ease. The body mends itself in its own way, however, and you will put your own psychological judgments upon its sensations. Ligaments as they release put forth much action. They try themselves out. They will appear to dangle, and then to tighten and dangle again. The body coming to life is active, and its activity may clamor at times. When you are not used to trusting the body, then those activities may seem to be causes for alarm—and such fears should be expressed—as long as the other definite feelings of comfort, ease, quickness, or flexibility are also expressed.

Give us a moment.... All of these processes, and the increased overall bodily activity, do increase Ruburt’s temperature at times. I am not saying that he has a fever, but that there are accelerations of energy that often bring local rushes of circulation and heat. In hot humid weather, that does become noticeable. The sweating is also the result of increased bodily activity.

You can have an overall plan for life as long as it is not too rigid, but you live your life a day at a time. Biologically you must live in the present.

Living each day at a time, you respond to the present, and you need not in one day protect yourself from a lifetime of projected distractions or threats to your time that must, in your day, be imaginary, since they are probable events from the future.

Distractions can be easily dealt with, as they occur, by making conscious decisions. They do not require all of the effort and psychological technology of a nuclear war (with humor). They do not require then the full artillery of your defenses—a great waste of your time and effort that could, of course, be devoted to your work.

(11:16 PM. Jane had been quite restless last night, with all the bodily changes occurring. Once we woke up together, and I massaged various portions of her body for some little time. After that she slept fairly well until morning.
