These actually continue, whether Ruburt wakes or sleeps. The body now sees to it that it moves. In sleep often new motions are tried out. This may be momentarily disturbing simply because he wants to sleep through—but the body is roused on purpose. He is trusting the implied, the invisible world of the mind, waiting for definite improvements in walking. This is natural enough.
Because you cannot see the inside workings of the body, you concentrate upon other improvements, and if they are not of a grand-enough nature, it is easy to become discouraged. The body does not follow your logical thought, however. Ruburt would want to walk correctly now, of course, and then to have his arms straightened, or his posture gradually improved. The body, however, in its own wisdom brings about overall adjustments that then become specifically apparent, and these are often minute—but vital.
Those vital but minute areas are now being taken care of. They are minute only in that their improvement does not specifically show, but they are pivot points upon which important areas are dependent. They are far more important than, for example, it seems good to Ruburt but hardly of great significance that the toe areas have more feeling—but this means that the circulatory system is vastly improved. Earlier the legs did not need that much circulation. They are preparing themselves to work normally, and that requires good circulation.

He actively enjoys his food. The texture of his body is becoming more youthful. The ligaments, joints and muscles are gaining flexibility.
