At times he is standing straighter. The arms are looser. The neck is gaining resiliency. Some of these motions are not synchronized yet, and yet the improvements I speak of have been obvious.

His body has become more dependable walking, as he knows. The most important thing at this point is for him to keep in as good spirits as possible—not by being Pollyannaish, but by recognizing the reality of his improvements, and by not overstressing those areas in which improvements have not yet appeared. Distractions are good, but you must use them. Ruburt learned, last evening, to use them when you had company.

The body does not begin to show such improvement with the intent not to continue. All of my suggestions should be followed—those apply to Ruburt and you. When Ruburt feels good by his standards, that is, in a good mood, relatively at peace, and in some kind of bodily ease, taking his situation into consideration, he should note that. I will help keep him from concentrating on the times when he does not feel that good. He should make an effort to forget his condition as much as possible, and so should you. This does not mean that you are ignoring reality. You are instead trying an excellent method that will help you change it.

His body is becoming more responsive, and there is no reason why the improvements cannot smoothly accelerate. An attempt to creatively divert his thoughts will help, so he gives his body time to escape his notice.

The improvements already made are not only important in themselves, but because they are already eliciting further freedoms that will show. The point of power is in the present. Whenever possible, minimize the importance of a problem. Forget a problem and it will go away. Dumb advice, surely, or so it seems. Yet children know the truth of it. Minimize impediments in your mind and they do become minimized. Exaggerate impediments in your mind and in reality they will quickly adopt giant size.
