(I’m getting used to thinking about Mass Events now, and am organized to start producing the notes for it—something like making myself a new nest within which I can feel comfortable for working on the new job.

Ruburt’s work, as far as his symptoms are concerned, rests primarily in his mental attitudes, and they are indeed changing for the better. The state of creativity is one you both know intimately. In it there is a kind of mental or psychic plasticity, where the evidence of the normal world loses its hard edges, becomes less real, and yet is touched by the psyche’s creativity so that it can (underlined) in a moment be literally transformed.

In such a state the channels to probabilities are open and receptive. Physical matter is seen out of the corners of mental eyes, so to speak. Matter actually pulsates at a different rate when you are in that kind of a creative state, so the body is then very amiable to healing. It all works together, you see.

The sessions, dream activity, Ruburt’s writing of books, his poetry and his painting—these states by themselves contribute to his health. Worrying, future projections of unpleasant conditions, concern over a public image, or whatever, even overconcern about his work itself—these cause strain and tension. (Pause.) When you see yourselves as being primarily in direct opposition to the ideas of the world (pause), then Ruburt feels the need also to overprotect himself from it. You should see yourselves as primarily in an excellent position to help the world, which brings about an entirely different set of feelings and beliefs.

(Pause.) Painting should be enough, you may think sometimes, but you chose to be the kind of person who wanted to explore the greater reaches of reality, from which art itself emerges. 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.

(Seth probably refers here to a letter Jane received today from a fan in Ohio, who enclosed a copy of a letter he wrote defending her to Jacques Vallee, who evidently had mentioned Jane in one of his books. The letter is on file. Vallee had his facts wrong, it seems, ascribing Jane’s work to automatic writing, etc.
