(Notes: Today Jane called Tam about the continuing hassles over the disclaimer for Mass Events, and learned several important things—among them that the legal department is now “drafting” a letter to us, explaining their position in the matter. Discussed also were the memos the legal department has been sending to the board of directors at Prentice-Hall. Many of these have been derogatory; we now plan to ask Tam for the names of the individual board members, and we want to learn how to write to them to be sure they personally receive our messages. We would like to eventually tell our side of the story, and resent being treated like children in the interim. According to Tam, we’re not supposed to know anything about much of what he’s been telling us of the fuss over the disclaimer.

(10:00.) He is correct in thinking that these sensations begin about 20 minutes after he lies down, as a rule, as the muscles gradually begin to relax.

The main thing, again, is that Ruburt’s personal trust in the body be reinforced by himself through such reminders, and by your own reassurance. A large amount of energy is involved. That energy means action, of course.

(Long pause.) You have been given no guidelines, however, that allow you to trust those healing capacities, from your society, so you are still in the position of dropping negative habits, fears of the body, and so forth, piled up through years of misunderstanding. We will probably have more to say about processes in our next book dictation.
You are protected. When you know that you are, you can save yourselves considerable periods of stress and strain, because you realize that you are not at the mercy of other people or of their actions. When you think that you are in such a position, you react in threatened fashions, of course, and give them power that they do not naturally possess. I am certain that you know in what areas of your lives this material might be useful. End of session, a fond good evening.
