You each have literally incredible power at your command—as each individual does. You should both be able to sense that power, however, more than others, and to direct it where you want it, both together and individually.

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.

Ruburt must realize that his power and energy can, and indeed is, changing his body for the better. That confidence is important, and it is only where he, first of all, and you secondarily, doubt it that difficulty occurs.

The lack of confidence is what you must both work at, and the old habits of thought. Ruburt is back at writing again, which is excellent. When I make recommendations, such as the library, I make them with the knowledge of their implications, and their importance in the entire picture. This is not an original statement, but the past only has the power that you give it.

Ruburt’s entire body is more pliable. His balance is continually working toward normality. Confidence can vastly accelerate the process, and definitely smooth the way. I suggested that you both use your creativity in that regard—again, a suggestion not lightly made. I want you to understand your power, individually and jointly, in that regard.

Released tension in the head area can also change both Ruburt’s depth perception and head pressure, as it lessens. The eyes will at times have a further range—that is, an increased range—while not focusing as clearly as they should, necessarily. The entire picture is as I have given it. Concentrate upon your creativity, both of you, and your power, with the morning suggestions I gave you, and the library. He should not concentrate upon his body.

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 can coax Ruburt more and encourage him, and exert your power more in that direction. You have not believed you could do that.

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.

I want you united, so to speak, with your powers focused psychically, creatively, and toward bettering Ruburt’s physical state. Do you have questions?
