“I have all the material for a new book, suddenly, after breakfast. Read something in the paper about concentration on illness causing pain, and that reminded me of some ideas I had last night. Then while doing dishes this morning I had the feeling a whole book on health is there or here. Went to my study, got chapter headings and outline, more or less, but I don’t know yet how to get the rest of it; I feel almost that it’s a Seth book, that I need him to bring it in. But Seth’s doing a book! I know this new book has application to me most practically, too, giving methods of breaking out of my own patterns.2 Could feel the bulk and immediacy of the book, but also frustrated that what I’ve got down is so little and sketchy — WHEN IT’S ALREADY HERE. Yet of course it must be there and I have to get it here. I feel caught between relaxation — want to lie down — and ambition, that if I just sit here the book will somehow clearly burst out in one way or another. Rob wondered if it’s part of “Unknown” Reality, but I don’t think so.”
