Now give us a moment.... You should both read tonight’s session, book dictation, with Ruburt’s situation in mind. You have tried to maintain stability while you work, and have schooled yourselves so that it is not disrupted. You are still both afraid—Ruburt primarily, of course—of really trying for fear you will be disappointed, and worried at the disruptions that might occur—again, Ruburt primarily. Most of all, however, he has identified of late with what he thinks of as his failure.

He became afraid of trying again to disrupt the old patterns. You of course do give tacit consent, and give up whatever role of leadership you possess in that area, which is far more considerable than you allow yourself to admit. Ruburt is often afraid he has little control over the situation. This prevents him of course from breaking the patterns.

The winter doldrums always affect him, but are of course reinforced. Today’s visitor (Josette) came in response to Ruburt’s need, bringing him appreciation and a new encounter—but tonight’s session dictation can be of considerable benefit to you both. Ruburt simply drops the issue for a while—and then he feels panicky—at times a quite normal reaction to a sense of powerlessness. Neither of you have persisted with the Framework 2 methods.

(11:00.) The lack of persistence simply shows that in large measure your way of life suits you both, regardless of its consequences. You are obviously dissatisfied, however. Again, in the session there are strong clues, but you—or rather, Ruburt primarily must take advantage of them. The pendulum is excellent, particularly when you do it together. It can be used to advantage, particularly together, in the mornings for suggestions. Only a brief time is required. The intent is the important thing—and then for another short period to search for current reasons behind behavior. There should not be a concentration upon the problem—as a problem.
