Give us a moment.... When the world-view enlarges to include more sophisticated cultural environments then, however, the body must rely upon the conscious mind’s interpretation of events. While the animal may encounter danger, it does not feel that its world is not safe. Fear of a biological nature is in itself healthy. It is only when it is prolonged unnaturally that it leads to difficulties. Again, give us a moment.... Imagined fears, projected into the future, put the body in a state of stress unknown to the animal. When you feel that your world is not safe the body may respond in many ways, according to the characteristic temperament and beliefs. Ruburt has been playing dead. His ideas convinced the body that playing dead was the way to insure overall survival. The body might object, but it still must rely upon the conscious mind’s interpretation of events, that it realizes are beyond its realm.

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.

(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.

Many of the muscles have literally come alive again. The joints are following suit. Give us a moment.... The vitamins are a help, but not when they are taken constantly. They then become a crutch. For now, 2 vitamin C’s are sufficient. You live in a safe universe. It is safe to go outside your door. The most important thing now is to help Ruburt become aware of and react to impulses. If his at any given time clash with yours, then clearly make your feelings known. This will help you in your communications with each other, and clear issues as they arise.

Give us a moment.... Your ideas of quality are reinforced and sensed in the books even while they are not physically apparent. I will have more to say at another time on this. For now I am concerned with Ruburt’s specific problem, and I ask you, lovingly, to help him become aware of his impulses and to act upon them. End of session—except that there are several good surprises on the way.
