(Jane was getting more and more relaxed as we sat for the session. “But I didn’t want to miss a session,” she said sleepily. Then: “I feel him around now, at least—I guess I’ll be ready in a second....”)

Specific creativity is but one important aspect of the psyche’s vast, almost incomprehensible productivity, for it produces your lives. You had parents and brothers, a family. Ruburt has no one in that same manner. He had an unfortunate marriage behind him when you met. When he fell in love, it was wholeheartedly, and he was determined to merge his creativity and his marriage.

To some extent the symptoms provided you both with a cushion against too many distractions from outsiders. They became very handy devices for a multitude of reasons. They can only serve so far, of course, before the body’s objections state most clearly its disagreement. Ruburt has been doing well and is heading in the proper directions, particularly with the ideas of effortlessness and informal self-hypnosis.

You were looking for some kind of vehicle, and you found it. Ruburt should understand that. Consciously (underlined), at the start of your marriage you would both have been delighted to work together doing comic strips, fulfilling male and female roles quite conventionally, with just an added flair. Your abilities led both of you far beyond, and it is time that you updated your ideas.
