You cannot make conventional judgments in such matters. In practical terms it is natural for muscles that are restrained to hurt. It was unnatural in those terms for Ruburt not to feel soreness in the past when his body stance was so unnaturally restrained. He did not allow his muscles their natural protest.

Now Ruburt mentally cut down upon the discomfort of his symptoms, so that the body did not feel its own discomfort strongly enough to trigger healing processes to the degree necessary. If you would keep track, you would find that the sore areas are being treated, and trigger their own releases. This same process follows in many areas of all illnesses. The body is a self-healing mechanism. It counts upon feedback data, however. You do not help ulcer victims by having them avoid certain foods. Instead you remove the impetus for improvement by minimizing the symptoms, which, ideally now, would activate psychological, spiritual, mental, and physical centers, bringing about necessary adjustments.

Ruburt’s particular soreness will be quite transitory—at one stage only, occurring in fact at the first instances of freedom with any given portion of the body. His beliefs are such now that the body’s mobilization processes are vastly accelerated.
