(We had attempted to find reasons for her rigidity this morning through using the pendulum, with some success, we thought, but as the day passed there was little response physically on Jane’s part.

Now: you worked with the pendulum yesterday. You did not work with the pendulum however regarding those specific events (since they all took place after our morning pendulum work). A good portion of the session will deal with such issues.

When you and Ruburt begin such a program as the pendulum, for example, it is valuable because of your joint initiation of it, and it served several excellent purposes. The best was probably the opening of fluent communication between the two of you, and Ruburt’s understanding that you would go full steam ahead to help him recover—his understanding that you did indeed want him to recover. That was highly important.

The pendulum sessions have also served to bring issues out into the open. I watched you both with those sessions, and tried gently to monitor how you handled them. With the best of intentions, you have made a few errors there.

(9:52.) Give us a moment.... a long one.... You said yourself I believe once that life contains elements of each other reincarnational existence, and that each day did also. The problems and attitudes that bother Ruburt also appear—one or another of them—in each day. The pendulum can best be used to deal with specific events, with specific attitudes. I want to suggest a different kind of program, that is, a version of what you have, and that will bring better results. I am aware of course of your conversation this morning, and I must state that it is difficult for me to try to explain what is so clear to me, and obviously unperceived by either of you a good deal of the time.

Ruburt usually has a variety of bodily sensations, often simultaneously: some pleasant and relaxing, while others may be unpleasant. Again, with the best of intentions, the focus of your pendulum sessions has not been of the best lately. And you yourselves felt swamped by so much material. I am aware that often neither of you thinks Ruburt is improving one whit—and of course that is part of the difficulty. It is not the other way around, however it appears to you. Ideally, Ruburt could completely recover with no discomfort. Practically, he is indeed experiencing more discomfort than he needs to.

After breakfast, use the pendulum to insert positive suggestions of a specific nature—not about the world, but psychological supports and directions for the specific day. Such suggestions do direct your focus psychologically.

I do not know how you want to handle this, but the two of you should go over that page of feelings together. According to the day, the situation, you may then want to work with the pendulum, considering some specific event or issue from that day—but this need not be a lengthy session at all. With your discussion, perhaps 10 minutes with the pendulum would be sufficient, The pendulum also can be used when any event occurs—again, when specifics apply.

It is most likely, however, that those subjects will come up, you see, in any case in his daily writing down of feelings. The writing down allows for the immediate release and expression of feeling that becomes impossible with so many pendulum questions. The pendulum can also be used quite effectively, for only a few moments, but habitually, before bed—the two of you together—with Ruburt suggesting that he will rest comfortably and awaken refreshed in the morning, that he will have a therapeutic sleep.
