Each moment is then like a mosaic, only in your current life history you follow only one color or pattern, and ignore the others. As I have mentioned, you can indeed change the present to some extent by purposefully altering a memory event. At least twice a week, I would like Ruburt to alter the memory of that playground in Rochester, so that he successfully climbs down the jungle gym.

That kind of synthesis can be used in many instances with many people. In Ruburt’s case it actually reassures the past self of any doubts or fears—doubts and fears that are also reflected, but that it has already chosen a framework or a given frame of existence that emphasizes certain kinds of experience over others. (See page 67 in Session 806 for Mass Events. Return to here eventually.

(11:05.) Give us a moment.... This week Ruburt has regained additional motion in his right foot, with a loosening of ligaments and muscles—important ones that will help the stretching of the legs. All of the ligaments have begun to stretch, and the muscles to loosen.

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.

Ruburt can regain normal flexibility, normal responsiveness; I wish that I could automatically impart to you the quite simple knowledge that lies behind those sentences, so that you could accept them without quibble. But you are beginning, both of you, to change your beliefs and feelings, and that is good.
