Give us a moment.... It might be helpful to clear some issues that have not been discussed in this manner particularly. Ruburt wants to write the bulk of the day, yet he now believes it is unhealthy to do that.... Give us a moment with this.... He believes he should be working, yet also that he should be more physically active. The symptoms then become intensified at times. As you have told him, there is nothing wrong with working all day, and all night, as long as he is physically free, and is not working under enforced conditions.

Give us time.... The earlier he begins writing, as of now, the better off he is. Part of the conflict has arisen however also because he feels that what he often wants to do—write many hours—is physically wrong.

Some of this has to do with current mass beliefs, based on the idea of the mechanics of the body being more important than the thoughts behind the body’s working. You have been told that sitting down for hours is unhealthy, that stiffness results, and so forth. To some extent Ruburt believes it, and believes that the body must suffer if it sits for long periods, and so forth. The body is quite equipped on its own to remain flexible, and left alone will perform a variety of small motions while sitting, for example, to insure its flexibility. Ruburt believes now that it is wrong not to go out each day. Certainly I have suggested in the past that he go out, but in line with the circumstances at the time, and the condition to which his beliefs had led him.

Give us a moment.... It would help when he is working, particularly whenever he is unduly bothered, to stop and say “What do I think about what I am doing in this moment? And what do I think I should be doing differently?! Have him write as much as he wants, and not to stew about housework for example, or walking outside. His natural pattern would be to do housework also, in bursts of activity.

(10:03.) You were quite correct in your assessment of Monday night—about Ruburt being determined to use his abilities; and also in the balance that is being more or less maintained. There are however definite points of both additional energy, and therefore insights available at different times. There are too many reasons to be given in this session, but they apply generally to each individual, having to do with the nature of the psyche’s “initial” entry into your system. I am hinting here of connections with astrology, though certainly not with the astrology currently known.

He has been telling himself that he must go out in the face of some other tendencies, then, that ordinarily, in a good state of flexibility, would be relatively unnoticed. That is not a particularly important point, but given here simply to give you an idea of other issues that operate, having to do with a personality’s natural leanings toward certain seasonal conditions.

Do you want a break?

The method also, in an odd way, allows others to relate to Ruburt. When, as he will, he recovers his flexibility, then he is talking as someone who has overcome, and had something to overcome. It is easy to say that he has maligned his body, but the entire personality is body and mind and all, and the body itself has learned some comprehensions and joys also, having to do with sense appreciation, that some people never physically, now, experience. The other half of the method therefore lies in dropping it, and this was built in from the beginning.

I have given enough for the night, but it is an important session. We will continue with the book, but when I have something to say to you personally, I will feel free to do so.
