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 a moment.... It is important however to realize that to some extent he feels that long hours of writing are now wrong, because of the physical condition in which he finds himself. Now for a moment, tell him to imagine himself, generally speaking, well. If he wrote, steadily even, and did not go out for two or three days he would not think that there was anything wrong in that—nor would there be. When the stint was over he would feel perhaps a strong burst of physically directed energy, and want to clean the house or go for walks.

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.
