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.

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.

His characteristic posture worked for what it was, and it was locked together in all of its parts. It is becoming unlocked. In that process, and only at times, there are periods when it seems his body, or certain portions of it, are less dependable.

The constant interplay and healing process has its own rhythm, so that certain portions of a leg can rest, for example. I do not want to overstate the work being involved, for it is natural work. What Ruburt experiences however as soreness is the vital sensation of renewed impulse and activity and use.

What can appear as disquieting, as for example his behavior on occasion at the garageway, is instead the body’s abandonment of past dependable but limited action, and its attempt to initiate new response. The process is well along, and will lead to various temporary, better, but in-between stages as his stance gradually corrects itself.
