(Today was even warmer than it has been — an incredible 45 degrees when I backed the car out of the garage. Wouldn’t you know it — the spring mechanism that governs the travel of the garage door broke as I was lowering the door, so that I couldn’t close it all the way. So when I got to 330 one of my first acts was to call Overhead Door and ask them to have someone check the garage door this afternoon, if possible. I gave directions and asked that a bill be sent to me. I hoped to get service today, it being Friday.

(I went on to tell her of my idea that arthritis, for example, bridged all historical gaps and cultures, and that its origin — I think — lay in the individual’s reaction to fear of motion, for a multitude of reasons. Jane seemed a little surprised at this idea. I said I’d felt it to be true for some time, meaning years.

(Jane told me she was a little surprised that Maude Cardwell hadn’t answered my letter of a couple of weeks ago by now — but I said I thought things were proceeding as all of us wanted them to, really. After all, I hadn’t given Maude our phone number — though I plan to — and we’ve maintained a distance from her and others who have offered help. If we behave that way, we can hardly expect others to act differently toward us.

2. My existence enriches all other portions of life, even as my own being is enhanced by the rest of creation.

3. It is good, natural, and safe for me to grow and develop and use my abilities, and by so doing I also enrich all other portions of life.

Next: By nature I am a good deserving creature, and all of life’s elements and parts are also of good intent.

And next: All of my imperfections, and all of the imperfections of other creatures, are redeemed in the greater scheme of the universe in which I have my being.

Those attitudes are inbred in the smallest microscopic portions of the body — a part of each atom and cell and organ, and they serve to trigger all of the body’s responses that promote growth and fulfillment. Infants are not born with an inbred fear of their environment, or of other creatures. They are instead immersed in feelings of well-being, vitality, and exuberance. They take it for granted that their needs will be met, and that the universe is well-disposed toward them. They feel a part of their environment.

All of that material, and its like, will be covered in this book. Make a note, however, of such questions when they naturally occur.
