Try to respond more clearly, each of you, to the moment, for you have a tendency otherwise not to see given events as clearly as you might otherwise. It should be obvious that comparatively speaking Ruburt feels quite well sometimes. He will be chatting, or yelling at his painting, or whatever. He is quite open often, say, to making love, as you know now, but earlier you colored your reaction to him often through the pessimistic cast that both of you had allowed to slip over your perceptions.

He felt quite maligned earlier tonight, when you did not realize that he was not grunting with exertion as he walked to the bathroom several times today. You did not realize that. It was of course apparent to him, but this is an example of the way in which unthinking habits of reaction can inhibit your perception.

The reasons behind such behavior are given in the sessions on work. He has been inspired, but to paint, because his impulses are quite correct; the painting of flowers leads him to contemplate beauty for beauty’s sake, frees his mind, and also allows for certain kinds of muscular motions that are now beneficial.

(10:29.) The idea is for him to play with Seven, to let his mind freely play with ideas, and to follow his impulses. He paints as he writes, furiously involved, in bursts. The psychic experiences, intuitional developments, and dream activity—these refresh him and lead precisely to the kind of inspiration he wants. So the library idea that you had is an excellent one, but it should be done playfully.
