The point of power is in the present. You believe it or you do not believe it.
If you believe that the point of power is in the past in certain areas, then you lose out on a very fine advantage. Let us look at your lives.

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.

You look at the time involved that the symptoms have continued, and you grant more power to that past than you do to the present.

Ruburt must reinstate a playful attitude mentally and psychically.
