They are done for you in Framework 2, and further discussions of Framework 2, incidentally, will be interwound throughout our present book. (Dreams, Evolution and Value Fulfillment.) Your beliefs often tell you that life is hard, however, that living is difficult, that the universe, again, is unsafe, and that you must use all of your resources—not to meet the world with anything like joyful abandon, of course, but to protect yourself against its implied threats; threats that you have been taught to expect.

But your beliefs do not stop there; because of both scientific and religious ones you believe in western civilization that there are threats from within also. As a result you forget your natural selves, and become involved in a secondary, largely imaginary culture: battles that are projected negatively into the future, individually and en masse. People respond with illnesses of one kind or another, or through exaggerated behavior.

Because he has not built up the good trust of his body, however, any new discomfort, regardless of origin, alarms him—an alarm that causes him to tense his muscles, withhold his weight, become hesitant—actions that of course themselves bring about stress, and prolong what should be a fairly minor adjustment. It is true that a fine, exuberant leap of belief would make even those adjustments unnecessary, and at times Ruburt almost approaches such points. Remember, he did not have your background of physical trust in the body. Whenever you can, again, honestly comment upon an improvement, now upon his appearance, or on a physical accomplishment, do so, for he needs the reinforcement there.
