(Jane was quite relaxed as she told me she wanted a session at about 8 PM. Both of us had slept for better than two hours this afternoon, and felt that we could sleep even more. The evening was beautiful. Frank Longwell had visited at noon, and I’d showed him the new chair I’d made for Jane, based on his design. She is doing much better with the chair, by the way. My back still bothers, but perhaps to a slightly lesser degree. I haven’t been getting in much painting time for the past week.

As far as you are personally concerned, Joseph, you became alarmed by what seemed to you to be certain implications when you carried Ruburt in the bathroom. You feared this made it too easy for him. You were afraid that then he would not try to resume making it on his own. And you also did not trust your own body to perform adequately under such a situation—hence your own personal discomfort.
The chair made it easier for Ruburt than it had been earlier. It made him more a part of the process. You both understood that situation rather clearly at certain levels. As far as his condition is concerned, its most pivotal aspects are being dealt with: the mechanics of walking and motion. Again, the body knows what it is doing. It is as if the springs or inner mechanics of motion had been tightly held back, so that as they are being relieved there is considerable inequality, unpredictable springing motion—a loosening here and a tightening there momentarily, as if before he had been too tightly wound (deliberately).
(Long pause, one of several, at 8:31.) This is particularly pertinent in his feelings concerning the jaw and neck, and the eye connection and his sense of balance (all items Jane has mentioned often recently). It is also responsible of course for the frequent alterations in depth perception, and all of that to some extent helps explain his frequent uncertainty about getting on the couch (from the chair) and so forth.
It is highly important, however, that you read those sessions over together, and discuss them, even if only one session at a time. All of the relationships in his bodily behavior are changing for the better, but reading those sessions will make sure that the old beliefs are not buried again, and hence allow the process to continue, and more smoothly accelerate.
