The mental patterns are all-important, yet you see you have initiated some new ones creatively, using both Frameworks 1 and 2. You are correct: the more activities of a natural kind that Ruburt performs, whether or not he can do them on his feet, the better off he is, and you are. This signals what you want into Framework 2, and those activities will indeed be done better. It was, you see—I am explaining simply—too great a leap, if you will forgive me, to expect him to walk easily up his dentist’s steps at this point. His faith could not take that leap. What you have begun, however—if you keep to this frame of mind—will indeed accelerate his physical improvement, for his mind will already have made necessary changes.

I believe that you are finally beginning, both of you, the last few days how to get a hold of your natural creativity in connection with Ruburt’s situation, and to apply it to that end. If you continue then you attract from Framework 2 everything that you possibly need, and other areas of your lives will also improve, for to whatever extent they are somewhat shadowed by your attitudes resulting from Ruburt’s condition.

Impulses toward action will be naturally rearoused, and desires toward spontaneous action will find more and more release. Driving now is good, for it represents one of Ruburt’s few connections with the natural outside world, and as he does improve, his impulses, natural impulses, will begin to show themselves. He will think of wanting to go into a restaurant you pass, or whatever, whether or not he can, say, at that moment.

(10:42 PM. Lately I’ve been suggesting to Jane that when she finds herself hassling something she reminds herself that she has “a simple, profound faith that whatever needs to be done for an improvement in my health can take place in Framework 2. There are no impediments in Framework 2. Its creative workings there can show themselves in Framework 1, in my improved physical condition. I need not be concerned with details in any way....”

(This emphasis on that simple profound faith seems to be the key, and using that approach Jane has already achieved some good results. Her vision was much better yesterday afternoon on our ride, and today as I type this she is working on a painting—the first one she’s attempted in some weeks. Her ability to read has been remarkably improved today, even without glasses. Other changes continue to take place in her body also.

(She still has to understand her automatic reactions of panic and fear of lost working time when I suggest going out, as I did today about going to the bank and post office tomorrow. But at least now she’s conscious of her reactions, as she said, and can do something about them from that position. It’s a certainty that she can much improve that situation.)
