Any and all of his doubts can be alleviated by the complete realization that he can indeed trust the physician within, and the ancient wisdom of the body. That trust can be inserted through suggestion. [...]

[...] He enjoys ideas, but in that regard he does not trust himself. [...] He does not trust the expression without the feedback.

If you trust yourselves, and approve of yourselves, all of your problems literally dissolve, and playful creativity bursts into its full flower.

(4:03.) In other words, they do not trust the energy of their own lives. They do not trust the natural functioning of their bodies, or accept this functioning as a gift of life. [...]

[...] “But then,” she said, “I told myself to trust myself and Seth, and I said to hell with it.”

[...] Keep that word ‘trust’ in mind.”

He just told you that when he begins to speak for me he senses an entire tall structure of words, and unhesitatingly he lets that structure form (intently). The same is true with his ability to move and walk; the more he trusts his energy, the more his spontaneity forms its own beautiful order that results in the spontaneous physical art of walking — and he is indeed well along the way. [...]

So as you begin to learn self-trust, you acknowledge your impulses. [...]

[...] Children trusting their impulses learn to walk, and trusting your impulses, you can find yourselves again.

Many of you keep searching for some seemingly remote spiritual inner self that you can trust and look to for help and support, but all the while you distrust the familiar self with which you have such intimate contact. [...]

[...] You must trust the self that you are, now.

(To Florence.) And if you trusted your spontaneous self, then you would allow yourself greater freedom. [...] It gives you a framework that you can trust in which you can allow yourself freedom. [...]

[...] To know this does not mean that you should not trust what you are getting. [...]

(To Sue.) When you really learn to trust yourself, when you learn emotionally, as well as intellectually, when you learn with your spirit and your gut, then you will learn who you are. [...]

Now: particularly, tell him not to become impatient, to proceed as he is, trusting his inclinations: and most of all trusting the validity on and the grace of his being.

If you trust the spontaneous self, then automatically you do not need such a framework, but you must learn to allow it its expression. [...]

[...] He can do far better, and the way to begin is to allow the spontaneous self as much freedom as he can in daily life, and to trust its expression—that it knows his psychic and creative needs, his physical needs, his social and financial needs, and all of these can be taken care of.

Are you going to trust this or that, or a combination of both? In any case I could see how important our ideas were, and how much they were needed—and I hope I began to feel that indeed I could trust my own life when it came down to it, when a choice should be made (all emphatically). [...]

[...] It was a week ago yesterday that the finger suddenly turned so dark—nearly black —and I realized something else: the condition with the finger had happened as I explained to Peggy Gallagher how Rob and I had trusted our lives to our intuitions in the flood of ‘72. [...] In that case I had trusted myself—not for example taking tetanus shots, though early radio medical advice insisted upon the shots as an emergency procedure. [...]

One line I’d forgotten put the situation rather clearly, though: I was afraid that Seth’s work and my own might have some fatal flaw to which I was blind, so that I suppose by trusting the inner self and individual inspiration, I might actually also be opening up that horrendous Pandora’s box. [...]

[...] I must have gotten to the point where I thought, “Okay, if you’re afraid to trust yourself completely, and your own life, let’s take a taste of what it’s like to have no other place to turn but the world of conventional medicine and beliefs.” [...]

(As we began to reread Monday’s session this morning, Jane said something that triggered a reaction on my part that I felt was based on material Seth gave in that session: “I tell my body every day that I trust it, that it can bear my weight when I go to the john, for example,” or words closely to that effect. Suddenly it came to me that she had it backwards—that her body didn’t need any additional trust, that it was perfectly willing to do her bidding at any time, including healing itself. What she should be stressing, I said, was that she trusted her spontaneous self—then the body would automatically react to the release of tension, to her trust in that spontaneous self. Put another way, the intellect then must learn to cooperate in that trusting by relaxing its near-paranoid protective cover.

[...] Yet I could see that I confused Jane somewhat: for she’d used that typical suggestion about trusting her body for years, and I had agreed with it, at least tacitly, besides using similar suggestions myself at times.
