Remember—you two were involved, with your probabilities and free will. Until Ruburt was at his desk this evening, he did not finally decide whether or not he would greet the strangers you knew had earlier tried to reach you. He played with the idea of checking some notes, and then taking his chapter (on James) to the living room table, and darkening his room. In that case, the young woman would still have met someone who had a connection with him.

At the last moment, however, before you left, Ruburt made up his mind and told you to unlock the porch door. (When Carol opened the screen door, she let Willy Two out, but picked him up easily.) Miss Dineen remembers you kindly also because of Miss Callahan, of course.

Ruburt’s books, your paintings, follow the same overall format. In all cases faith is involved, and the feeling that all in all the means will come or be given. The means are then arranged in Framework 2.

(10:28.) In terms of Ruburt’s flexibility, I always take your present level of practical comprehension into mind, for I know quite well that your reactions to what I say will vary according to your own situations at any given time.

So far, you have been hesitant—Ruburt particularly, but both of you—to release or express that desire for normal physical flexibility on Ruburt’s part. And, also, you would have compared his present condition unfavorably with the desired end, simply involving yourselves in contradictions.

Ruburt’s body is expressing as much of that desire as he, and secondly you, have felt free enough to express. Release the desire into Framework 2, remember the examples I have given you. Ruburt is making inroads, learning not to project negatively. That is highly important, and must be stressed.

I am trying to make conscious to you methods that you use beautifully unconsciously and well in other areas of your living. Our young woman selectively interpreted her experience with the interpretation of names, for example, as given this evening—but that selectivity led her exactly where she wanted to go, and in certain terms she actually did ignore any data that did not lead her in a desired direction. So, while it may seem impractical, you do the same thing when you selectively pay attention to Ruburt’s improvements and selectively ignore areas of difficulty. You build a new orientation, which then becomes the actual one.

In areas of conflict, you have to learn to do this consciously while in areas of success you have done it unconsciously all along. Many of Ruburt’s joints, particularly in the neck, feet, and knees, are loosening considerably. Their motion is all connected, of course. This causes the muscles to change, and in particular their tension is altered. When his weight is on his feet, when they are ready the joints and feet try new positions—that at the time they might not be able to maintain.

Give us a moment.... Ruburt should tell you, as you told him, when he finds himself in a particularly blue mood, or projecting negatively, but he does catch such situations better than he did. That release of desire is all important, however. What I have given you this evening can be of the utmost help. And trust your own Nebene material.

In a manner of speaking, the gentleman’s (Hal) visit, while Ruburt is doing the James book, completes an intent on James’s part that he had in life. The event, again, in a way is even separate from Ruburt’s present connection with James, but followed as a result of James’s living curiosity regarding highly gifted mediums that might exist after his death.

Had he been living, he would have sought Ruburt out, you see, and they would have gotten along famously. You and James would also have been excellent friends. The three of you missed each other in time. In other frameworks, however, you are friends, hence Ruburt’s book, and your first attraction to James’s writings.

I do want to mention that relaxation will definitely quicken all areas of Ruburt’s improvement, releasing the neck tendons and so forth, so that the eyes will stabilize in good vision. The hot towels will also benefit.
