工作之外，要有一些足以恢复精力的兴趣爱好

四十不惑的春风

【鲁柏不必每天24小时都在思考工作，记住：他应该要信任内在自己。目前就让他保持正常作息，他必须记得，要专注在当下（focus within the present）。例如，做家事时，就让自己的头脑休息一下，愉快地专注在家事上。
不仅如此，他还需要有其他兴趣来使自己恢复活力（refresh him）。我过去曾建议他恢复绘画。瑜伽不错，对他来说非常好，应该开心地做（瑜伽），他不必一直都那么正经八百。这几点听起来简单易懂，但是必须遵照去做。这些会给内在自己自由的空间。鲁柏又在鞭策自己，虽然现在是为了更好的目标而这样做。（微笑）

在这儿，这个季节本身就有很多好处，让他（能够）工作很多小时，然后专注到别的地方。鲁柏太努力了。他发现自己改变了方式，而现在想要变本加厉这样做。他放弃了放松练习，这应该要恢复，对他来说，放松练习才是最有帮助的。

他已经觉得需要睡眠，因为他太急着想把事情搞定，遵循这些建议可以使他回到正轨。我现在可以跟他讲这类事，而在几个月前鲁柏不准我说，后来症状复发。我们正在走捷径处理所有问题。

内在已经有了收获。鲁柏走在正轨上，但他现在想立即飞奔前进，向我们展示他所改变的一切。这种过多过急的态度在他昨晚的课堂上表露无遗。你会发现，做个倾桌试验就够了。对于讯息传递上的努力，他的解释正确无误，所以我不会浪费时间讨论。

（在昨晚的ESP班里，珍试图接触班上一位同学去世不久的朋友。她说，觉得自己与素未谋面的那个“人”，在情感上很融洽或已联系上。）

联系上了。另一端的情况并不好，那天晚上他做得也够多了。

还有一点。鲁柏该记住，也要保持对其他事物的兴趣，这可以让他将自己意识上的关注焦点，从灵性事务上( psychic matters)转移开来，让这些（灵性）事务得以获得自由，像是跳舞、园艺、绘画，他都玩得起。（幽默）】

（就算）他是“好人”，他（也）不需要一夜之间把自己变成圣人。

英文原文：
Ruburt need not spend 24 hours a day thinking about his work. Remember he is to trust the inner self. Now let him keep his regular hours. He must remember to focus within the present. When he is going about household chores for example, let him give his mind a rest. Concentrate upon the chores joyfully.

Not only this, but he needs other interests to refresh him. I have in the past suggested he resume painting. The yoga is good, excellent for him. It should be done joyfully. He need not always be so serious. These points sound obvious, but they should be followed. This gives the inner self-freedom. He has been hammering again, though now he hammers with a better purpose.（Smile.）

The season will itself offer advantages here. Let him work so many hours and then concentrate elsewhere. He is trying too hard. He sees he has changed his ways, and now wants to do so with a vengeance, you see.（Humorous emphatic delivery.） He has dropped the relaxation exercise, and this should be resumed. For him it is most beneficial.

He has felt the need of sleep because he has been overly anxious to set things right. These suggestions, followed, will return him to his proper course. I am able to tell him such things now. Months ago he would not have allowed me to speak until he had a return of symptoms. We are short-circuiting all of that now.

The inner gains have been made. He is on the right track, but now he wants to gallop down it at once, you see（more humor, eyes wide） to show us all that he has changed. Now this too much too soon attitude was reflected last evening in his class. Working with the table was sufficient, you see. His own interpretation of the communication attempt is correct, so I shall not waste time discussing it.

（Last night in ESP class, Jane tried to contact a newly dead friend of some class members. She said she felt she had achieved an emotional rapport or contact with the "person," whom she had never met.）

There was a connection. Circumstances were not good at the other end, and also he had done quite enough that evening.

One more note. Ruburt should remember to keep other interests also. This lets him take his conscious attention away from psychic matters and allows them freedom. Dancing, gardening, painting. He can afford to play.（Humor.）

Now that he is "good," in quotes , he need not make a saint of himself overnight.（Emphatic.）
