I have mentioned this before, but your environment is a symbol of your inner life and beliefs; one appears physical to you while the inner life does not. The physical body responds to stimulus from outside and from within. Ruburt’s newer activity enlarges the physical stimulation possible—the different view of your house and grounds, for example; or preparing one meal automatically reminds him of others that he will want to prepare.

Ruburt’s way of forgetting past books is a natural and good one for him. It conflicts with your natural way. The two ways can complement each other if you understand this, as you are beginning to. In your society, with your ideas, you have paved a way for yourselves. The books sustain you financially. People do accept you, and in a way that is quite important to their pocketbooks, and in times that are not financially good. Forget the taxes. If they seem unfair to you, they are unfair to many—you are not being singled out in that regard.

The increased activity and the release of impulses with these sessions, and your pendulum work, are once again arousing Ruburt’s body and mind, and your own, so that you have an excellent chance now for Ruburt to recover. Do not let issues go underground. There are improvements, and considerable ones. You want more. Remember what I said about muscular activity, so that when Ruburt does have a sore day, say, you do not become discouraged.

He was afraid that they were lost. Then he thought only one lens was saved. This shows that he was worried for his vision, and thought that only the one right eye would operate properly. He discovers the glasses intact, however, better than before, and no longer curved outward and thick.

This portion of the dream represents his realization that his eyes are clearing. The fears are being washed away. Before, he was afraid to go down into the fears, represented by the water. The fears dissolving, however, turn into cleansing agents. The part of the self responsible for the fears was the part that thought success a male prerogative, so that the woman had to exert extra discipline. That was also one of the reasons behind Ruburt’s fear of the world’s scorn.

That is enough for this evening. One small point: as you realize, the adolescent children did represent emotional conflicts in the dream that Ruburt managed to force his way through.
