You react by setting up defenses. Because of Ruburt’s old ideas about femininity, kept beyond their time, he feels more vulnerable than you amid those unsafe conditions, and has put up extra safeguards. Life was not meant to be perfect. You can, however, choose to accept your challenges wholeheartedly, resolutely—something that you have not really done. I do not think you believe what I tell you, and you do not believe me because you do not really believe that the point of power is in the present.

In those areas you believed that the point of power was in the present. Ruburt’s physical condition is so noticeable and so has your joint attention, because it stands out alone as the one large negative in a period of positive growing achievement, abundance, and understanding.

1.) I want you to each reread the passages on the point of power in Personal Reality, and to apply it—that truth—to Ruburt’s physical condition. There is nothing in Ruburt’s body that cannot be vastly improved and corrected. He needs to regain confidence in his physical being again.

2.) Three times a week, hot towels should be applied to the knees, and this will help his legs—but also clear up his head. I am not going into the physical reasons here, but this will be most beneficial. There is nothing wrong with his eyes. There has been tension on the muscles. Physically, the hot towels on the knees will benefit that condition. Otherwise, it was because he did not want to type up my book. Creatively, now, he is always interested in the new book—the current creative act, and he resented feeling that he had to type Psyche while not having current sessions. The eye condition resulted.

If you can only manage to realize that the point of power is in the present, in all areas, then Ruburt’s condition can dramatically improve in a short time. You are afraid of looking for improvements. You do not trust them. You think that because there have been failures in the past, failures are inevitable. Ruburt must reinstate a playful attitude mentally and psychically.

Later, I will add to this. Try as hard as you can to consider this a challenge that rouses both of you to your greatest achievement, rather than as a condition that must be put up with—and do not concentrate upon it. Seeing people, as I mentioned, is important. It prevents Ruburt from becoming too reclusive.

One of his greatest talents is to delve inward, but if this is carried to the extreme, he can brood and feel overly lonely. There is no condition that cannot be changed. He can use your loving, playful encouragement. That last is very important.
