According to the ideas of course this can be highly advantageous, unfortunate, or fall any place between. Give us time.... Each personality would definitely translate all of this in its own way. I cannot emphasize that enough. Ruburt, however, equates winter, to some extent, with being unborn, however. Naturally, high winds or snowstorms used to exhilarate him and act as stimuli, but overall his physical being always exhibited its greatest health, flexibility and exuberance in the other seasons. With the physical condition to some extent the tendencies in winter were overemphasized. He does not naturally feel as great a rapport, then, as he does in the other seasons.

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.

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.
