You “were” right, then, when you worked on the book before your bout, and during that time you trusted yourself—but then your ideas of the comparative nature of your ideas intruded, triggered at that time by (news of) Crowder’s death, and the ensuing beliefs about the male role in society, and as that applied to your own talents. [...]

They do not trust it, nor do they trust the spontaneous portions of the self. [...]

When you are taught not to trust your impulses you begin to lose your powers of decision, and to whatever extent involved in the circumstances, you begin to lose your sense of power because you are afraid to act.

[...] (Pause.) Such a person is afraid to trust any one impulse enough to act upon it. [...]

It is vital, again, that both of you trust that healing process and not hamper healing’s creativity by tying it to any given day’s practical experience. [...]

Dictation: If you cannot trust your private self, then you will not trust yourself in your relationships with others or in society.

If you do not trust your private self, you will be afraid of power, for you will fear that you are bound to misuse it. [...]

[...] The sessions among other things have always represented your combined love and trust in each other, and were generated by your experience as creatures, and your desire to look for personal answers; but more basically for answers asked by all of your race.

[...] Through all of history, one way or another, you have believed in the line of culture leading to your own—that impulses were disruptive, suspicious, and not to be trusted; ignoring the child’s impulse to speak, and to walk and grow, to communicate. [...] So tell Ruburt not to be so impatient with himself, to remind himself that he can indeed trust the self that he knows, regardless of what he had been taught to believe.

[...] Anyhow, got the idea when I put the book away that Seth would speak about things like the Moonies without mentioning them, idea being that the self as it is isn’t trusted; as in the Jonestown thing. [...]

[...] You must let him know that you do trust him and his spontaneity, because before, no matter what you said, he knew that to some degree you wanted brakes applied.

[...] You must let him know that you do trust his spontaneity, for it is also your own, as you know.

[...] Let him know therefore that you do trust him to go ahead spontaneously, regardless of where that might lead, knowing it will be beneficial and creative. [...]

[...] She is now on vacation, and we trust that the reduced schedule will do away with Eleanor’s visits. [...]

[...] Really try to see it as a challenge—the daily reinforcement of trust and belief—so that, again, each of you particularly encourage those emotions of hope and optimism that are so important. [...]

Both of you trust that each day brings you closer to your goals. [...]

[...] He was not trustful enough of his own being to handle his daily life in more isolated circumstances.

[...] He is only now beginning to trust his body, and those suggestions should by all means be continued as given. [...]

[...] Therefore, trust it and open your eyes and return your attention to the room. [...]

[...] Trust yourself. [...]

[...] I trust the nature of vitality and being and because I am I fulfill my destiny as you fulfill your own destiny simply through being. [...]

(9:46.) Some of the material (in this session) on pain should help clear Ruburt’s mind, but the past week’s blue periods and so forth simply represented one more example of a situation in which he tried to make himself get better by “realizing the gravity of his condition”—by contrasting his performance against “normal” performance, and by the old beliefs of not trusting the body. [...]

[...] Had you both trusted the body, had you believed that it did indeed improve to improve, then Ruburt would have been more aware of the new balancing sensations and positions, and would not have added anxiety on top.

Because you were born in this culture, it is not surprising that you still fall prey to lack of trust in yourselves, or in the body’s abilities to cure itself. [...]

[...] You can trust those inclinations. [...]

When you do not trust your inclinations then you must indeed make rules to follow instead. [...]

[...] (With amusement:) There is someone I know who tells Ruburt to trust his abilities. Very good advice—but that someone does not always trust his own abilities (louder). [...]

We are back to self-disapproval, of course, but I want you to understand that while self-disapproval is a problem for most people in your society, it is a problem for the artist particularly, because it is the artist who must trust himself or herself most of all, and it is the artist who must often have no other approval to count upon. [...]

[...] When you trust your abilities you allow them, through their expression, to find their own creative reconciliation, for the creative product is indeed a reconciliation between the sensed ideal and the world’s actuality. [...]

Now I have not said this to you before because you were not ready for it before, but now you are, and you can progress and free your own feelings of trust and love. And then you will meet these in exterior circumstances and recognize them in others for they have been offered to you, both kindness and love and trust, in the past, and you did not recognize them. [...]

(To Sally.) You project your own distrust upon other people and then react to it and so you close yourself off from those feelings of trust that others would express for you. [...]

[...] Trust the vitality of life and the universe, recognize the feelings and let them flow out of you. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The panic kept him from trusting his body, and as that dissipates his innate trust in his body and in his own capacities will improve, and his performance, of course. [...]

[...] It will help if he trusts that such is the case, so that self-doubts are minimized. [...]

[...] You seize upon them because you do not trust your own spontaneity in your work.

[...] At the same time, because of some cultural beliefs, you are still not all that trustful about creativity to begin with.

[...] We do not trust ourselves to spontaneously develop our own technique. [...]

[...] All of this does require a trust in the body’s strength and resources. The improvements themselves are learning processes, as Ruburt learns to trust the body, as before he did not.
