Ruburt’s responsiveness will show physically. When he feels he can physically handle guests with some finesse, if not with perfectly normal behavior, you will know that his mental and emotional patterns have changed. You will also know that your emotional and mental attitudes in that regard have changed.

The increased sales do not necessarily involve you with guests of the stature you are speaking of, or with definite appointments made, in which there is direct personal contact.

I am not saying that you should refuse guests. When Ruburt is ready, and when you are ready to begin to embark upon relationships with others of any import, his condition will show it. We are not speaking simply of guests, but of a willingness on your part to begin relationships—in line with your work, and of direct contacts, planned in advance, of personal contact.

I am more concerned that the ideas of responsiveness be followed now, and that you apply your feelings of creativity to the situation. When Ruburt does not feel ashamed to meet guests, it will seem to him that this is because he is so physically improved. Actually the improvements follow and are the physical materialization of his responsiveness to himself, and to the natural world.

(11:32 PM. I didn’t realize it at the time, but upon typing this material I’d say that Seth didn’t directly answer my question on page 298. I was more interested in information on our reactions to the books selling well, and the resulting publicity, than in the question of guests, per se. The meeting of people, of course, is a part of the question, however, so in that sense Seth did consider it.
