As a result of that definite improvement, Ruburt was able to lift his head slightly as he walked. We can wait if you want....

Those ligaments had been pulled tightly. Only a small, minute alteration in any ligament or muscle affects all others. These ligaments in particular had been in the process of loosening, before Ruburt suddenly found he could thusly move his head, and look up toward the ceiling while walking.

Previous to that he had held his head, neck, shoulders, and arms, using them almost as one block, allowing those motions necessary for typing and reading, with some additional motions possible for the few chores he managed to do.

The beginning release of those ligaments affected muscles that had been thusly held, so that they also began a release. As a rule muscles do not suddenly release an inch or two, and again, the smallest alteration is important. Ruburt mentioned it to you, and noted it himself. Both of you promptly felt it to be quite insignificant. So Ruburt could lift his head an inch while walking. Each of you thought, big deal.

Ruburt’s eyes had worked quite comfortably, moving in a very limited range of motion because of the tightened neck, head and shoulder muscles and ligaments. Simply put, the eyes worked while locked into certain positions or focuses. He had noticed for some time before that he had difficulty rolling his eyes when they were closed, for example.

As the heavy ligaments began to move, some important joints began to loosen. Many muscles, large and small, were tugged upon, and teased into motion. He felt them in various portions of his body. The same happened to the eyes muscles, however, and those are important in vision.

He started using them in ways he had not before. They were not in the old locked position, and he was beginning to enlarge his peripheral vision, which though he did not know it, had previously been limited by the head motion. The eye strain began to show. He became frightened. The tenseness from his fear would alternately relax and tighten the muscles, then.

Now: you are at this point presently. You can choose to believe me, and to act upon what I tell you, or you can choose to ignore the implications of what I say. Ruburt made a quiet, or quietly dramatic, decision. He is verbal. Words are important to him. He “hit upon” the word “responsive” in relationship to his body. He decided that above all he now wanted his body to be responsive.

That word and its meaning to him has the power to offset many of his negative body beliefs and projections. In the past two days the following events have occurred. They have been largely ignored by both of you. Several large ligament areas have shown significant improvements in terms of release. I am speaking of the right neck area.

To some extent all of Ruburt’s movable parts have, since the sessions lately began, become more pliable. He said he felt a trifle lighter on his feet—again, dismissed by both of you as insignificant. This was the result of increased circulation, but mainly the result of tensions being relieved in those important neck areas.
