In Ruburt’s case there was a build-up of tension. His response was to hide. The better known he became the greater the belief that he must protect himself, and the greater his feeling of unsafety, for now he became known in a world in which it was only safe to hide. This applied to you also, though to a lesser degree.

I want to give you some understanding of Ruburt’s physical progress. The arms are important for balance, and are being released. The same process that released them is occurring in the legs. As he said once, he does not walk on his arms, so the improvement in the legs takes place in such a way that balance can be maintained. There is more pressure on the knees than on the elbows.

He is also correct in that he is being educated. Intimate awareness of relaxation and of tension will prevent any such buildup after his recovery, and has already led to a certain monitoring. Automatically now he is relaxing areas that have been released as soon as any tension appears. I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of your joint work with the pendulum, because of what it implies.

When he is proficient with the bathroom routine, which you were very wise to begin, we will start some other simple new routines, one at a time, instilling appropriate body reaction to a safe universe. Ruburt’s actions were appropriate for the horror program, and so were some of yours when you were afraid of painting because it did not bring in money. Our books bring in money, simply because money at your level of activity is a natural result of spontaneous creativity. Your paintings will bring in money when they are the result of spontaneous creativity. Ruburt’s spontaneity escaped all of his “language,” in other words. His physical mobility will result from the body’s spontaneous creativity. He is not to walk normally because he should, any more than he should write “because he should.” He is a writing kind of being, and he is a walking kind of being.
