When you see Ruburt going too far in one direction, and see him trying to alter that direction, you can indeed exert your energy, leadership and direction there, for the two of you also operate jointly as well as individually. So his overt action also represents latent action of your own that you are not expressing because you have too much sense. Each of you should now and then try to sense your individual power, for it goes out creatively in the books. It comes back to you as evidence when through the mail you see the books help people change the directions of their lives.

The eyes have improved enough so that he can work near normally enough at his writing, and they will continue to improve. The morning eye condition results from the sinuses. The draining is beneficial. If you understand your power and exert it, and you can, then you can accelerate the process. You must not focus your attention upon past failures. You do not think of any paintings that you did not succeed at. Ruburt does not think of books that he did not finish. All of those things are lost in the light of new achievement.

You have not thought it would have an effect. I am not telling you to take responsibility for Ruburt’s progress at all, but saying that it is certainly to your advantage, and his, that you exert more energy there in terms of active encouragement. There will be times when you are discouraged, each of you, but when one has confidence at any time, the other can use it. It is that one area where each of you believed you had no power to change events, and that belief could impede your progress, at least, even when both of you want a change.
