Now—I see that it is nip and tuck with you both right now, so I will begin with Ruburt’s condition and allied matters—important ones.

In the past, improvements did not “take” for a long-enough period to produce desired results, because of your own lacks of confidence—Ruburt in particular and you secondarily. If you do trust the body and its wisdom, then you trust it. I will try to clear up such issues as they arise. For now you must take it for granted that such conditions will exist.

Now: someone might fall down and badly jar the head or neck area, in which case you have an observable bruise, or wound or whatever. Over a period of time Ruburt’s anxieties brought about a like condition, but not observable in the same fashion.

This must be worked through now, and it can be if you both exert your creativity and daring in that direction. There is nothing wrong with Ruburt’s thyroid. The feeling in the knees is most encouraging, and represents the new activity of joints coming to life again, as the result of the new responsiveness of those neck ligaments.

The whole matter then comes down to building up your confidence, and making a creative effort to let nothing take it from you. For now, it is realistic to expect some such episodes: but as you use these ideas, and as the improvements continue, the episodes will be far less, and your confidence will easily triumph.

Now.... The girls’ behavior points out the importance of suggestion as it operates in a negative way. Most suggestions are relatively invisible. They are the result of body language, smiles or frowns, muscular attitudes—but you live surrounded by a psychological environment of suggestion. You have each your ways of expressing to the other silent attitudes of hopelessness or happiness. The return to the natural moment can be used quite effectively, but not if you constantly reinforce your lacks of confidence.

Now take your break.
