The books are immediate in a way, for example, that the Castaneda books are not. Castaneda speaks of what is really exotic behavior from your cultural viewpoint. We are saying that changes can be made from within the culture. You do not have to be an Indian guru, or appear and disappear at will, so the books invite instant challenge. People do not feel silly buying such a paperback, but many of these people, in the general public now, have to make certain mental adjustments before they will spend more. Spending more means that they consider the ideas to be worthwhile.

(10:22.) Give us a moment....The paperbacks will not go out of print except for short periods. They will not build up quickly in sales, but they will, and they will provide a dependable income. In ways the entire picture will change.

The paperback Personal Reality will be highly important in the ultimate changes that do take place. You are in an in-between period. If you went out in a grand manner, publicizing the books, appearing on shows, you could indeed quicken the pace—but in so doing other intangibles would also be altered. There is a great difference between keeping the people always in mind, and playing to the crowd for whatever reasons, but there would be a tendency for purposes to be altered.

To be an overnight financial sensation, however, would present a reality that does not fit into your joint plans and purposes. This does not mean there is anything wrong with such an overnight sensation. Most likely, Ruburt will do some teaching in the future, not immediately, with a different format entirely. Your purposes and the purposes of the three publishers all mix and merge, with unconscious knowledge of the importance of the books, and the ways in which they are to be presented—not that there won’t also be some “natural” misunderstandings here and there, also.

On the other hand their ideas are so challenged that it takes them a while. They read one book several times. “Unknown” Reality will do far better than even Personal Reality did.

There have been in the past some improvements of note, but no overall straightening of the legs, for example. There have been relaxations and he felt better, but now we are dealing with overall definite changes in which the ligaments are being extended. Muscles have been relaxed in the past, while still not lengthening. They were relaxed while maintaining “unnatural” poses. Those relaxations —which were pleasant—led to a situation in which the “unnatural” poses, that were operationally dependable, began to vanish.

It is understandable that he feels strange at times, for he has given up an old, dependable but limited framework. The only way now is ahead, and accepting those natural body changes that are a part of that healing process. These are the final stages necessary so that a new stance is achieved, and again, soon you will not need to go on faith as you do now, because enough adjustment will have taken place all over so that the results will show an easier motion, and in definite, beneficial alterations of stance and walking ability.

From then on noticeable changes will be fairly automatic and accelerated, but you are now finishing up the groundwork. The mouth and jaw is also in a constant state of change for the same reasons, so that the area will be sometimes comfortable, and sometimes most bothersome.

The shape of his face is changing. The tenseness of his jaws held everything else in certain positions. At times the shoulders as well as the legs have been sore—most bothersome to Ruburt. When this occurs the relationship is being beneficially altered between the two areas given.
