There is no doubt that improvements have occurred in Ruburt’s condition. You would have to be blind not to realize that his ankles and feet, his hands and wrists, his neck and jaw, have all improved. Frank is correct: many ligaments have stretched to allow him to sit down—(leaning forward, and loudly:)I would say 50% better within two weeks.

(10:20.) Those areas tried to work together today. The trembling (in the legs) is indeed a sign of new life, new sensation, as large areas of the body try the new positions. Had you both trusted the body, had you believed that it did indeed improve to improve, then Ruburt would have been more aware of the new balancing sensations and positions, and would not have added anxiety on top.

It is highly important that you do keep up your communications with each other, and that you begin each day in one way or another by stating your faith in the body’s processes. This would take but a few moments. It is also important, now, that you concentrate upon your own creative works, both of you—Ruburt particularly, so that he takes his mind off of his body, and focuses elsewhere. Since you are doing this alone, more or less, it is natural to be upset at times, but when your confidence is greater than your doubts, Ruburt always improves.

(Intently:) There is no reason to fear a prolonged period of improvements that “go nowhere.” Only those fears slow down your success.

It does no good to exaggerate Ruburt’s condition, and if you do not exaggerate it, then you must admit the improvements that have lately occurred.

Forget worrying about visitors, one way or another. Dedicate yourselves to your joint and private creative pursuits, to providing a mental climate in which you can produce while Ruburt’s improvements continue. Anything else now is beside the point.

Each morning, briefly together in whatever way you choose, dedicate yourselves to your creative pursuits. Imagine a calm and peaceful aura surrounding the house. Tell yourselves that your work will be productive, and that Ruburt’s body will improve as the day goes on. Such suggestions are immensely important. Suggestions are always impetuses toward action, psychological sets that can indeed program your day and set up reminders.

The trembling will not last—at the most two or three days. It is no copout to keep a chair handy, or whatever, nothing to be afraid of when that is understood. The legs will want then to exercise. He can stand up and hold on to something, and exercise them, even if he has had to have chairs about while walking from place to place. The balance of the body is changing. The eyes will continue to improve. Fear, his and yours, makes him concentrate upon the body’s sensations too much, and that prevents him from the frame of mind necessary for his writing.
