Coming up the step today, though difficult, actually helped the right leg in its release. You reminded Ruburt of suggestions you gave yourself once. He altered them. Your remarks, however, and his use of them, became an example of creative suggestive behavior, for he seized upon the idea of the luxury of motion, and realized that relaxation is motion. This should be stressed also in your suggestion sessions.

Ruburt thought of wearing shoes, and when you came home he wore them until nap time. I suggest that he make this more of a habit, for the shoes have a suggestive value, as he well knows. Actually, for now, wearing shoes a good portion of the day is sufficient. For him the change of walking barefooted to wearing shoes and back again, allows the body beneficial alteration of posture.

In a way, illnesses are definitely a part of health, for life itself consists of a fine alignment, of imbalances. One disease may actually protect you from a stronger one, or from a detrimental course of action that you might otherwise follow. In the greater realm of activity—I am trying to put this simply—a poor marriage, for example, is on the same level as a chronic but not life-threatening disease. It is not simply that disease is disease, and relationships are relationships, but that the individual generally tries to achieve the best possible conditions for a satisfying spiritual, emotional and physical existence according to beliefs and intents.
