“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt’s enjoyment of the trees will lead you to an area of greater trees. His enjoyment of class money will lead to more. In any of these areas however concentration upon the lacks would reinforce these. I want you to see what you do right, so that you can apply it to these other areas.

It shows however a lack of freedom in a pivotal situation. I said pivotal because the dressing brings together both the idea of mobility and womanliness—both past areas of mistrust. The sexual area also combines both the lack of mobility and the womanly aspects, so freedom and the “as if” game in these areas is doubly important and vital.

So is Ruburt in all areas, except that one upon which he has concentrated negatively, and given up trust. I want you to realize that in very important ways, and even in the health area, you are both successful.

Now when your idea of truth, or art, or artistic integrity, is connected with detail then the charged areas show themselves. This applies often in your paintings, and can in certain areas of my book where you are involved.

Your own negative feelings in that area have subsided sufficiently. [...] His trouble has been directing it in various areas. [...]

In various existences you have led each other in various areas, and often at the same time. For example, Ruburt leading you in one, and you leading him in another area. [...]

In that area he can use your leadership. [...] Do not withhold your leadership in that direction therefore, but give it gladly, as he can give it gladly in those areas where he is now growing proficient.

[...] Tell Ruburt to think of health like money, and he will have much of it, for in that area he is clear now. [...]

[...] You are free of physicians, yet in the area concerning your teeth, you still believe that you must go to dentists. You use that area to give you, in your own fashion, a feeling of security: there you are relating in old ways, not only getting your checkups as you should, but seeing the dentist as more than that. That represents the one physical area concerning health in which you are not fully relying upon yourself, or new beliefs. [...]

[...] Her teeth have been bothering her—difficulty in chewing, etc., but according to Seth she will improve in this area as I will. I’ll see if I can reinforce her beliefs in that area.

In that area you believe yourself vulnerable. [...]

[...] He need not fear any of the old trouble with the teeth, sinus or jaw—but gradually tensions are being released in the jaw, neck and shoulder areas. [...]

[...] Your encouragement with the bathroom issue was concentrated in that area, and hence effective. Often you are each blind, or shortsighted, in the same areas.

He did well in other areas when you were concentrating only upon the bathroom, for he ceased worrying, concentrating upon one area where he could and did improve.

You took one small but important area—one that bothered him deeply, and frightened him; narrowed it down, so to speak, pointed out a simple but effective method of operation to be followed. [...]

This was important, because it showed that he could change, and removed physical fears he had, for example about his kidneys—but more important, because you zeroed in on an area in which change was possible.

[...] The sinuses are draining, and tension being drawn away from other areas of the body. This allows those areas greater freedom to relax. [...]

These measures also greatly relieve neck and shoulder tension and increase blood flow in such a way that necessary cleaning takes place in precisely those areas where pressure has initiated trouble at other points. With this comes a lessening of tension, muscular tension, in all areas, and also the initiation of certain hormones produced in times of normal healthy stress, that help combat imbalances.

[...] Relief and understanding in one area bleeds through into others, as before the belief in the body’s inefficiency also carried over.

[...] The book is so written that as you read it you will pick up automatically those areas that most concern you, and even in the dream state follow through so that answers are going to appear consciously and visibly to you. [...]

I should perhaps mention here that some of the caves, particularly in certain areas of Spain and the Pyrenees, and some earlier ones in Africa, were artificial constructions. [...] This is how their tunnels were originally formed, and it was also the method used to form some of the caves in areas where originally there were few. Often drawings on the cave walls were highly stylized information, almost like signs in your terms in front of public buildings, portraying the type of animals and beings in a given area.

(9:21.) These outposts were situated in many scattered areas, but there were a fairly large number of them in what is now Spain and the Pyrenees. There were several reasons for this, one having to do with the existence of rather giant-sized men in the mountain areas. [...]

While the civilization of the Lumanians was highly concentrated, in that they made no attempt to conquer others or to spread out to any great extent in area, they did set out, over the centuries, outposts from which they could emerge and keep track of the other native peoples.

[...] It was not practical to construct such tunnels to the many outposts, however, which were fairly small communities and relatively self-supporting; some were a good distance away from the main areas of commerce and activity.

You would then encounter the heart of the camouflage area. The completely uncamouflaged areas at the outer edges of the various systems should remind you of the undifferentiated areas between various life cycles in the subconscious. [...]

Once more, the undifferentiated layers or areas are composed of the vitality that forms the camouflage of all systems. It is not therefore—that is, such an area is not, therefore—a separate thing in itself, but simply a portion of vitality that contains no camouflage, and is therefore again unrecognizable to those within any given system.

As a rule there is little communication, you see, through those uncamouflaged or undifferentiated areas. [...]

Now, there is a connection between these areas and the idea of infinity, but first take your first break, and we shall continue.

[...] Now, as large muscle areas gradually release, you can expect to see the return of quicker motions, though some may be in the beginning relatively uncoordinated. [...] The shoulder-arm area is important, and connected to the walking—not only as far as overall coordination but in terms of clear passageways of energy.

[...] If you would keep track, you would find that the sore areas are being treated, and trigger their own releases. This same process follows in many areas of all illnesses. [...]

[...] He felt briefly though quite correctly this evening that the area now being worked upon involved quickness of motion.

[...] This was a quite legitimate physical expression, for as tension began to release it had a force meant to blow outward through tears, the whole process of crying relaxing those areas involved. [...]

As mentioned, those areas are being released. [...] The resulting release of muscular tension was definitely obvious to him, and reflected not only in the neck or head area, but also in the important knee areas, and traveling to the ankles.

[...] Later in the evening, further definitely felt releases occurred in the same areas. The head motion to the right was improved, the shoulder areas further released, the jaws also—and those releases pulled out, so to speak, to the hip areas. [...]

[...] In some areas they do very well. [...]

Now: someone might fall down and badly jar the head or neck area, in which case you have an observable bruise, or wound or whatever. [...]

(10:35.) In the most protected areas of sleep you are dealing with experience that is pure feeling or knowing, and disconnected from both words or images. As mentioned, these experiences are translated into dreams later, necessitating a return to areas of consciousness more familiar with physical data. Here a great creative synthesis and a great creative diversification takes place, in which any given dream image has meaning to various layers of the self — on one level representing a truth you have lived and on other levels representing this truth as it is more specifically applied to various areas of experience or problems. There will be a metamorphosis, therefore, of one symbol turning into many, and the conscious mind may only perceive a chaos of various dream images, because the inner organization and unity is partially hidden in the other areas of consciousness through which the reasoning mind cannot follow.

Somewhere during this time he will go into a deeply protected area of sleep, where he is at the threshold to other layers of reality and probabilities. [...] He will then return toward physical reality in an area marked as REM sleep by your scientists, where physically oriented dream productions will be created, putting the knowledge he has gained into use.

[...] In the most protected areas of sleep, the apparent barriers between many layers of reality vanish. [...]

[...] Both sensations are characteristic of moments in which you almost catch yourself, almost become aware of this undifferentiated area, and then translate some of its experiences into physical terms. [...]

[...] It is, however, most probable simply because the evidence is before you in all areas of your lives—that his energy, when it is directed, is most effective. We simply want it now directed in the physical area.

[...] It is in this area then where the physical evidence most strongly appears, and it can seem overwhelming.

In areas where he is doing well, such limitations, and resulting limiting behavior, do not occur to him. [...]

[...] Part of this is personal, but part is also cultural, and shows the one area of cultural beliefs from which Ruburt has not freed himself. [...]

[...] Now there is an in-between stage of relative indecision, a midplane of existence; a rest area, comparatively speaking, and it is from this area that most communication from relatives occurs. [...]

[...] Very generally now, there are three main areas, though exceptions and extraordinary cases can take other roads.

[...] It is from this area that some disturbed personalities have those dreams of returning to the physical environment.

[...] Conditions and development are important, rather than the length an individual stays in this area. [...]

[...] This means that certain areas are first “fed,” then gradually begin new activity. [...] Some areas before affected are now near normal. Other areas are being released according to their own nature. [...]

[...] The overall reorientation is continuing, with new areas being affected. [...]

[...] What is difficult is the ability or facility to change focus from one area to another, always leaving the door open for a return to the usual necessary daily focus point, in order that effective balance be maintained and manipulation in the physical area remain fairly uninterrupted.

Now during the dream drama the inner self may focus at various, or at one of various subconscious areas which it uses as a point of departure. This area, whichever one it may be, will be the one in which the main dream sequence originates and in which the dream activity occurs.

The dream objects and activities will then be interpreted at other subconscious areas, so that to understand a dream properly we should first discover at which subconscious area it originates. [...]

A familiarity must be gained by an individual with the general nature of his own dreams first, as Ruburt now has some knowledge or intuition that enables him to distinguish between dreams that originate in areas having to do with past lives, and those which originate in other areas, though he is not yet able to further differentiate.

He creates impediments then as in the other area he creates success. [...] Let us look then at the third area, for at one time you both also to some extent imagined impediments, changed your approach, and found new results. That area is the financial one, that indeed does now seem to come with an almost magical ease.

[...] So in certain terms everyone exists in Framework 2. Many people, however, live out their lives, practically speaking, in Framework 1. Ruburt’s physical condition has been most troublesome to you both, for in that area you have stressed impediments and felt a lack of control. Many people, however, experience such difficulty in all areas of their lives, with nothing in their own experience that they can trust to give them evidence for a greater reality or control over their own destinies.

[...] At times he might think of writing in one area or another, but his imagination did not set up barriers: it was always receptive to new ideas, casting about for new experiences, consciously involved in the process of creativity.

Generally speaking, however, in handling Ruburt’s condition over the years, until lately you have concentrated your working efforts in Framework 1, while in all other areas you at least had a good foothold in Framework 2.

This entire area (with gestures to the hips and thighs) here and here tightened the knee area and held it. [...] The two areas resulted in his stance. [...] The thigh areas and all of their parts are activated now, usually in an alternating pattern.

There have been two main areas: the head-jaw area, held in a particular position, more or less, resulting in particular positions of the shoulders and arms. The other area involved ligaments and muscles that attached the thighs to the trunk, resulting in the behavior of the knees and legs in general.

[...] It was distributed to bookstores and areas specifically involved with the conventional occult field. Even though such people are familiar with the general area of our work, still the book did not fit into a general mold. [...]

[...] The mouth and jaw is also in a constant state of change for the same reasons, so that the area will be sometimes comfortable, and sometimes most bothersome.

A good deal of the time he has been writing well, operating in Framework 2. Whenever you operate in Framework 2 in any area, to some extent you enrich other areas of your life. [...]

“I can think more creatively and positively in all areas of my life. I can move faster and more surely in all areas of my life. [...]

[...] It does things to time because of your intents and because of the peculiar nature of Framework 2. Such physical areas are charged in that regard because the mental areas connected with them are. [...]

[...] An alternative could involve two definite periods of self-suggestion a week, prepared for ahead of time, with a specific physical area chosen in the same way that you choose certain areas for your writing or painting.

[...] They remain as blank spots, uncultivated and unproductive areas within the psyche—areas in which there are no problems because there is no experience permitted. Curiously vacant areas in which very little perception is allowed. [...]

There are of course mass constructions, psychic pools whose energy is derived from many individuals, all predisposed because of their own inclinations toward specific areas of activity. Various groups of individuals therefore, massed together, help form and maintain particular areas of your reality. [...]

[...] Now there may be areas in which the inner self is simply not interested. There may be areas in which it is simply less proficient. [...]

Concentration in any given area predisposes certain elements within the nervous system toward that particular kind of focus or concentration, as many footfalls hollow out a pathway. [...]

[...] My head and neck area have been “moving around” constantly inside themselves, as mentioned in yesterday’s notes. [...] normal mobility, in the areas affected. These areas whatever they are, go through the right side of the body, downward; so that behind my right knee, for example, there is a sense of that mobility or easiness; and particularly in the right toe, though the entire right foot shares. [...] that were originally relieved in the head.) In those areas though, the mobility feels normal—uh, if I remember correctly... [...]

At the risk of repeating myself, your in quotes “role” to one extent was restrictive in the sexual and emotional area; you were the one who drew the line. It was partially a distorted, unconscious understanding of this that led Ruburt to the exaggerated projection of that restrictive role to those other areas of your life.

Instead you see, you felt with some considerable exceptions that in this particular area spontaneity could be safely followed. [...] When you urged him onward then he felt that he might be on dangerous ground, for you had been counted upon in the personal area to stop spontaneity, emotionally and sexually.

Ruburt is apt to be more adjusting in that area, but here also you see, you have set certain unconscious points, boundaries on either side between what you consider too close contact, and too little. The tendencies operate in all areas, and they provide very constructive guidelines, and are beneficial when they are not carried to extremes, and when the focus is on maintaining the balance between. [...]

The spontaneity is considered safe along certain lines, but these lines become narrowed, and the further the situation continues the more narrowed the area of spontaneity allowed in your work. [...]
