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. [...] 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.

Ruburt directed his will in certain areas. [...] 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.

To his way of thinking he cut out all excess baggage, so he had a spare diet, physically speaking. [...] The power of his will said “We are not ready yet. We are still working on one challenge,” so it seemed, finally, that he was powerless or helpless to alter the rigidity of his body.

[...] 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. [...] This was a natural result of his method.

The methods Ruburt adopted in his 30’s became more frightening in your terms of time, in the 40’s, so he is looking for a way out. But he closed off his will from his body, so in that area he felt powerless.

He wanted to write, to use his creative and psychic abilities to the fullest, and so he cut down all distractions. His literal mind led him on the one hand to a rich diet of creativity and psychic experience, and to a situation in which he and Joseph could finally be financially free and not in that way threatened.

Yet when he improved he felt that he did not want those “new distractions,” and so the power of his will still kept the body down. The power of his will is amazingly strong. [...]

Ruburt does not like the physical results of his plan on the one hand. On the other hand it was part of his method, a way of intensifying focus, increasing perception in a small area while also insuring safety, so that inner excursions would be balanced by a constant worrisome body that would urge him to return.

He did not until today connect up the idea of the power of the will and his body, for he has willed his body down. [...]

Until today he did not realize that the intent of his will was purposefully directed to keep the body down. [...]
