In your circumstances, in one way or another you have to build up that feeling of trust or confidence, often, again, in the face of old conflicting beliefs. (Pause.) Therefore Ruburt’s idea of a new program is a quite natural therapeutic one.

Another point: regardless of any seeming contradictions, the beneficial aspects of any particular creative activity far outweigh any disadvantages. (Long pause.) The nature of creativity, regardless of any given specific manifestation, is shown in an overall generalized fashion that automatically increases the quality of life, and such benefits are definite regardless of what other conditions also become apparent. I mean to make clear here that regardless of any complications that may seem only too apparent to you, in the production and distribution of my last book, and Ruburt’s, Mass Events—the benefits far outweigh any disadvantages.

(Long pause at 8:48.) If the apparent trigger of a difficulty is a creative accomplishment, then the difficulty itself is “loaded” also with its own natural therapeutic solutions. I am trying to make this point as clear as I can to you, because I know it has concerned you both.

(Long pause at 8:51.) Give us a moment.... In a like manner, it may seem childish—or worse, futile—when after all this time Ruburt still has the feeling that changing his room around will somehow help bring about the overall solution to any problem. Yet the feeling is the result of the natural person’s knowledge of the symbolic nature both of objects and thoughts, and of the rhythmic patterns that both follow, so that, again, on such occasions such activities do trigger new unconscious activity and set up new patterns of organization.

The habitual nature of the programming that you give your own minds helps continue the chronic condition. (Long pause.) Such a program, to be effective, must also include Ruburt’s initiative, so that he rouses himself and definitely begins to take advantage of those energies that he has—that is, energy exercises for himself. These should be done on a regular basis.

(Long pause at 9:20.) New sentence: if you cannot put your disillusionment aside, then you can at least use the idea of such a program as a creative exercise, a creative game that you play with one portion of your consciousness —a game that might just possibly have some creative benefits whose effects might just possibly crop up in the middle of your more practical considerations.
