Alienation in small doses can be a stimulus for achievement, but overdone it is of no help at all. Your feelings, so brief this evening as you looked outdoors, were therapeutic, rewarding, positive. Your cells were even aware in their way of your emotion. The summer night was here, present to your senses. Had you at the same moment instead thought, for example, about Prentice-Hall in a negative way, or about any other negative event of the past or probable future, you would have responded to an event that in an important way was not immediately a part of the facts of the natural world.

(11:42.) Now Ruburt has been concentrating upon the symptoms, imagining this or that, often not responding to the moment as it is, but to imagined future events and moments filled with threat or difficulty. Three hours of free writing time are not supposed to be three hours of worry. His state of anxiety must be lessened. The eye condition would disappear, and much more quickly, if he would think of other things, and follow the instructions I have given.

What I said to you about your moment with the evening, my remarks about responding to the present moment—these all involve ways of dealing with basic attitudes in your individual and joint behavior. I have given Ruburt physical and mental suggestions that should relieve stress and produce motion and creativity.
