Ruburt directed his will in certain areas. Your will is your intent. All of the power of your being is mobilized by your will, and your will makes its deductions according to your beliefs about reality. Each of you use your will in your own way. Each of you has your own way of dealing with challenges. Ruburt used his will to solve one challenge: he was determined to find the kind of mate that would best suit him, and his own unique characteristics. That intent was in his mind.

When that challenge was met he used his will and mobilized all of his power to fulfill his abilities, and to bring about conditions in which he hoped Joseph could also fulfill his. The will, again, operates according to the personality’s beliefs about reality, so its desires are sometimes tempered as those beliefs change. Ruburt always concentrated in his own way upon one challenge at a time, boring in, so to speak, and ignoring anything else that might distract him.

One of the beliefs then was a strong joint one that you had to protect your energy at all costs, and block out any worldly distractions. Ruburt with his practical mind interpreted this more literally than you, and physical restriction was a part of his natural early environment, as it was not in yours. You were half scandalized, yet half approving, for some time. In the physical area in the meantime, Ruburt lost the connection between will and body. This was a natural result of his method.
