You are learning. The simple change of dish routine shows you how a change of attitude can break a negative pattern overnight. The pattern was actually broken by the simple remark that you made earlier, that led Ruburt to think of the stool for dishes.

Your suggestion about the bathroom (sitting down) is another instance of creative action which takes. Ruburt’s previous position about the dishes was black or white. He would make no concessions. The more you enjoy life, and your daily moments, the less difficulty you will be in in any area, for your thoughts become naturally pleasant, and naturally attract good to you from Framework 2.

The stool at the sink reminded Ruburt that he could indeed use the stool in other areas of the kitchen, so he thought of cooking, and to that extent his thoughts became more naturally attuned. He expected more motion of himself, even though walking specifically was not involved. That kind of stimulus, encouraged, and not forgotten or let go, will set up a new set of mental habits, and literally with no effort, as suddenly he finds enjoyment doing the dishes.

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.

Three years ago there was no Cézanne or James books. There was no evidence of them—no stacks of paper, no contract. James had been thought of, but Ruburt certainly had no idea he would, or could, possibly write a book on painting.

Now the books exist, for no impediments were put in the way here, yet again there was no physical evidence. Ruburt had written books before—but Ruburt has walked before also.

Some of the material in this session is extremely valuable in the handling of health problems, because of its clues in rousing the creative abilities from one area of life to another. The great thrust of creative abilities, utilized in the health area, will automatically bring Ruburt flexibility. Before, his condition was the one area in which he was not creative, as far as his flexibility was concerned.

(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.
