(10:39.) Now: Ruburt early saw your prejudice against galleries. And determined that he would try to circumvent it—hence your sketches in Dialogues; for despite your avid and determined dislike of the marketplace and its imperfections, of which he is more aware than you think, he thought that he would still see to it that your talent was placed to some extent at least before the world —rail as you would against the stupidities and poor craftsmanship. He was determined, protesting or not, that your work would see the light of day, that despite any compromises its merits would appear.

Now: since out adventure first began, you have each had to learn much, and alter patterns of thought and belief, in your terms deeply ingrained. You tested what you were learning wisely against reality as you understood it. Ruburt knew that the adventure required a finesse, a juggling of realities, and he felt a maturity or wisdom that his years had not given him. There were also goals of his own. He was persuaded.

Ruburt not only had his intents, but your own in mind. To that extent he could not be content until he felt that your goals as well as his own were being met.

(Long pause.) Give us a moment.... Your help, again, with the suggestions is invaluable in terms of your loving active aid—but also because you are convincing yourself that you live in a safe universe, so that Ruburt does not feel that he must battle for himself and for you. Your sexual encounters are very important, for if you do not feel you are safe,then even animals have difficulty expressing corporal sex. There is an inner logic involved in Ruburt’s recovery—and now there is no doubt of it.

This is sensible, in that it allows for the gradual acceptance of new stimuli, rather than a sudden, shocking, complete recovery, in which Ruburt is in a matter of moments confronted with issues he had completely avoided before.

Spontaneity of impulse must be encouraged. Ruburt must forget his book deadline. Let him think simply of Politics and its ideas and reality—then his experiences and the book will flow once again.

He has done remarkably well with the gums also. In the context of your cultural beliefs his efforts there are remarkable. As probabilities go, he can avoid losing any other teeth. He can. Some hot moist heat can physically help the knees now. There are only several small groups of muscles still to be released. There is nothing wrong with the joints, except for the tension under which they have been placed, and this is disappearing. You live in a safe universe. Ruburt will write a book about it, and about his recovery.

Each personality takes on certain challenges and deals with them in its own order. I want you to understand that Ruburt’s recovery is following its own order, yet also to reassure you that that recovery is assured, and will not take much time, as long as you do not expect it to be instantaneous.
