(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.

The suggestions however also help you as you give them to Ruburt—highly important as far as your joint realities are concerned. Frank has been an important help. Give us a moment.... There is nothing wrong with Ruburt’s body. He realizes that now. Frank’s physical knowledge helped there. At least twice a week Ruburt must write down his feelings, so that he does not inhibit them—highly important as he is recovering.

Now: in a way the game is up—for Ruburt finally realizes that there is nothing organically wrong with the body. For some time he convinced himself that there was. The love implied in the fact that you help him with suggestions is highly important, because that love implies safety. In the past you have reinforced each other’s beliefs in an unsafe universe. These beliefs have become a part of your private and joint realities, affecting you (me) invisibly as they affect Ruburt visibly.

(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.

Let him take a certain part of the day to type his manuscript, another part in which his creative time is free. His body, mind, spirit, will all exercise themselves together. Is he becomes confused, then let him talk to you about it, rather than hide the issue.

If Ruburt is allowing himself to be spontaneous, then he will spontaneously want to type his script, add to it, clean his house, go outside, see people sometimes, and not see them at other times. The last would apply to you. The results with the arm this evening are a direct result of his writing down his feelings. There is nothing wrong with ambiguous feelings. You cannot set up rules that say you must always react to people in the same way. I want him then to work on his manuscript for two-and-a-half hours, and then to allow himself at least one-and-a-half hours of creative psychic and writing freedom.

(12:08.) Mainly I want him to follow his impulses—which will naturally fall into the lines I have suggested. He is not to feel threatened if while at his desk he feels like physical activity, for all in all his own rhythms will assert themselves. The body is ready to assert itself, and is doing so.
