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.

The condition itself, then, and his attitude toward it, have complicated issues. There are a variety actually of methods that can help him—various ones at different times, according to his circumstances.

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.

It was not an easy road, in certain terms. On the other hand it gave Ruburt exactly what he wanted in experience. The two of you jointly also did agree, despite your own feelings in space and time, and I understand them; I know that the method will be left behind. I am well aware however of your attitudes in the time, as you experience it. Ruburt however did choose a condition which could be experienced and then conquered. It was a condition that for example would not involve destruction of organs, or reliance upon the medical profession. This would blur the issues. It did not have to be physical. It could have involved instead any of the numberless problems that people have. Ruburt rejected most of those; and so, in your relationship with Ruburt, did you.

You have been deeply concerned in other lives also with the human condition, and worked in many areas. One of the reasons you chose not to have children was to devote yourselves to that end now. For your particular purposes you also needed to be free of many strong emotional attachments—not because such attachments are not good, but because for you and your purposes they would blur the issues.
