Riding the creative energies in that manner, you see, would allow him to recognize his own rhythm, flow and ebb. When his mind was tired it would automatically signal the body to physical activity, walks, changed environment, and so forth. The point of such a suggestion however rests in writing freely. When he is writing and also thinking that he should go for a walk then the conflicts arise more strongly. He knows that he wants to be writing. The conflict itself then prevents the follow-through thrust, so that he does not feel the natural relaxation that would follow, or the natural resulting desire for activity.

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.... I am not speaking, you understand, of any kind of predetermination, but of temperamental tendencies used differently by each individual. In winter Ruburt bores in. It is even a type of hibernation, that could result in a restful period.

Again, the choice was of a condition that could be overcome and that did not involve the medical profession. He chose ahead of time something, in other words, with which he knew he could cope and successfully. Someone working for their own purposes at an entirely different level might choose a physical condition that necessitated the medical profession, and might result in an important medical discovery.
