To begin with, a few comments about some thoughts of Ruburt’s.

The body even lovingly seeks to follow its own nature, and is lovingly directed to do so. Ruburt’s eyes lovingly try to perfect themselves. I realize you are not living in an ideal world, but we are giving that world ideas that can vastly increase peoples’ understanding. The body is never in a state of status quo. Ruburt’s improvements are occurring, as I said. The eyes, however, have given hints of their true capacity, as in today’s episodes.

Many people, not all, do “not see the world as others see it,” and so there are social and medical explanations. The eyes do not function right—and they are given glasses. When Ruburt’s body began its regeneration lately, it began to correct all conditions from scratch. It will give hints and signs of where it is going, as in today’s episode.

One day in the bathroom Ruburt found his knees and toes impulsively moving rather quickly together, up and down, elevating him with some spontaneous ease. This was to some extent the same kind of sign. On other occasions portions of his body will move with nearly normal speed—another sign of the body’s intent.

All of these will be put together. To some extent, however, some synchronization has escaped you. Ruburt walks, as far as he is concerned, with less hassle, even while considerable changes are occurring. The steps to the garage are no longer dreaded. His performance is better there. His sitting down is far easier. Some of his gestures are quicker. The body gives its signs of intent, however. You can see where it is going if you pay attention. It will show signs, then, more and more of that nature—a sudden, far-better-than-usual performance. Perhaps simply of one group of muscles, or one new motion.

When the large ligaments in the neck area started to repair themselves, they did not try to do a halfway job, but to undo conditions of longstanding; some that were taken for granted, such as lack of depth perception, for example. Your fears, generated by the beliefs of your society, of course, add extra anxiety when Ruburt’s eyes look poorly, and he has trouble with his vision.

As you know, many people acquire all kinds of glasses when their eyes are in temporary periods of stress. When Ruburt took his glasses off at times, the eyes tried automatically to adjust themselves (as today). There is no need for him to go without glasses for any specific amount of time. When he feels, however, as he did today, like taking the glasses off, let him do so. Your fears force you to insist upon improvements as fast as possible. Each improvement reinforces your confidence. On the other hand, the fear also generates anxiety, and sometimes more discomfort, as you interpret it, as a result.

Then get our friend a beer.... Ruburt’s situation is noticeable. It is an example, however, of what goes on constantly in far less obvious situations with most people.

Such measures to some extent segregate certain portions of the body, as if those portions could be considered alone. In Ruburt’s case the bifocals would have been detrimental. His vision problems had little to do with his eyes, for example, but with the way he was using the ligaments in his neck, and with his posture. As the posture changed, the eyes had to change. Those changes were bound to involve alterations in vision.

Ruburt’s idea for the future is a good one—seeing those who officiate at such groups (Seth classes). You make your own reality, but you cannot ignore the greater reality from which your world springs. Even those people, therefore, who deny the validity of anything but the most materialistic philosophy, sometimes dream unmaterialistic dreams, and in their unguarded moments they sense the greater source from which their materialistic world springs.
