Your body will react biologically in response to your world-view. Under some conditions animals in perfect condition will play dead, or otherwise immobilize themselves. Their purpose is survival, and the biological mechanisms behind such actions are healthy. When those specific conditions vanish, the animal arises and goes about its way.

(11:13.) Your suggestions of late have definitely helped. The body begins to rouse. Your part is highly important. You each share some general beliefs that the rest of the world is a threat. You differed only in that Ruburt chose what seems to be more drastic methods in meeting those threats. The suggestions serve as reminders that action is possible, and that spontaneity, not repression, is still the best way of countering the situation as it appears to be. The body is responding. When an animal is playing dead it knows when the immediate danger is over. When Ruburt has some improvements he is elated. Then, however, he stops to make sure that the danger is past, and to make certain it is safe to go ahead. Functionally, as the muscles release, balance in the legs must still be maintained. Certain muscles must be cleared before others. This is being taken care of. Then he stops, sensing the environment like an animal sensing the air. Your part in the suggestions aids in a kind of creature understanding, as one animal might nuzzle another.

(11:52.) Give us a moment.... The body is freeing itself, but greater freedom must be allowed as far as impulses are concerned, so that Ruburt can realize that his impulses are not threatening. A new balance is then set up between impulse and action, that will enrich his work as .well as accelerate the body’s flexibility. I want him to again become aware of his impulses, therefore, for physical action of any kind—whether he is at his table or not. His impulses will wisely provide creative inspiration and physical actualization, so that one adds to the other.
