Now: in Framework 1 you often use too much force to get what you want. You often ignore imagination, and believe in making things work. You try to force events. That is what Ruburt was trying to do, say, several days ago. Understand that per se, basically, Ruburt has nothing against walking. Not walking well in the past served certain purposes. One was to avoid distractions, as you know—distractions often being things he would otherwise like to do.

Sunday was somewhat of an example of the advantageous way to handle things. He felt the impulse to do the floors with your sweeper (while I was mowing grass) and because of our Saturday session he ignored the arm difficulty enough to do the kitchen. That stimulus naturally led him to do the bathroom, and to plan to do the bedroom. For that time, he enjoyed the activity. Several times he felt like walking, and he walked for brief periods three or four times. Sunday is not considered a “workday,” however, so it was easier for him to follow through on those impulses. But the body was overall stimulated, enjoyed the activity, and felt accomplishment. His mind was refreshed. He felt somewhat physically competent.

I remind you often of the behavior of muscles, and so forth, so that you will not be suddenly upset when Ruburt has bad days, or discomfort, because I realize that that has been largely your framework of reference, and it is of no benefit for me to ignore your beliefs in that matter—and what I have said applies. You are dealing with—in a way, now—two separate sets of “facts,” and each work, so when you insist upon emphasizing the facts of Framework 1, then there is apt to be soreness as muscles readjust, uncomfortable periods, and rules that must be followed, like walking every hour, or walking at least once a day or face feelings of hopelessness, or whatever.
