“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It feels as if there were tides in my body, rising and falling... this all continues; I feel a twinge of guilt—Rob’s typing reminds me that I was to do my three hours—but this IS writing; cataloging body-mood changes; I want to sketch the men working—eyes, sinuses, ears and neck strongly “working.” [...]

[...] The body will remember it.

[...] She said she felt “something” go out to me from her body while Seth paused during his delivery... [...]

[...] At the same time I want her to realize that her body is perfectly capable of taking care of itself, of healing itself, if she will but leave it alone so that it is free to do so.

[...] The muscles and body can relax. [...]

Give us a moment … The complete physician would be a person who learned to understand the dynamics of being, the soul-body relationship — one who was healthy in his or her own body. [...]

In the entire gestalt from cellular to “self” consciousness, there is a vast field of knowledge — much of it now “unconsciously” available — used to maintain the body’s integrity in space and time. [...]

[...] A true healing, or health profession, would deal intimately with the powers of the psyche in healing the body, and with the interrelationship among the desires, beliefs, and activities of the conscious mind and its effects upon the cellular behavior.

To me there are connections between such periodic activity and Seth’s information in the 684th session, in Section 1: “Your bodies blink off and on like lights … For that matter, so does the physical universe.” [...]

[...] Again, the powers of the brain come from the mind, so while you learn to center your consciousness in your body — and necessarily so — nevertheless your inner perceptions roam a far greater range. [...] Forget your body. [...]

[...] Usually the body and mind are bored, and actually seek out dramatic stress. Under usual conditions the body is restored — flushed out, so to speak — through the release of hormones that have been withheld, often through repressive habits.

The body will seek its release, and so will the mind. [...]

Other people may actually impede those portions of the body given to mobility, so that they limp, or tighten their muscles, or otherwise tamper with their bodies so that the end result is one that requires a cautious, hesitating approach to motion. Some may even cause themselves to have severe accidents, in which they sacrifice portions of their bodies to retain a sense of —

[...] They do not trust the natural functioning of their bodies, or accept this functioning as a gift of life. [...]

(Long pause.) It may be far more pleasant to be good-humored all of the time — but in Ruburt’s situation the fairly infrequent periods of blueness do indeed operate therapeutically, so that he is able to express those feelings through tears, and therefore relieve the body of expressing the same feelings through additional symptoms.

There is a certain residue, in other words (pause) of fairly desolate feelings — and these are working themselves out through such expression, thus freeing the body for additional improvements. [...]

In the past, the body itself was depressed (a very important point), running at low gear, and this is certainly not the case now. [...]

[...] The body can heal the leg as easily as it can heal the eyes, and as easily as it can heal the bedsores.

(Long pause.) Love-making reunites you with your own pasts, and unconscious bodily memory carries you backward to your earliest responses to your own body and that of others. To some extent then the child with all of his wonder about his own body is aroused in each act of love-making, whatever its variety. With those memories come feelings of biological exuberance, the body’s faith in itself, all highly important, and far more therapeutic than is ever realized in your society. [...]

Again, you have evidence of his body’s willingness to change for the better. [...]

[...] I sometimes wondered why Jane’s body didn’t recognize that to an even more profound degree, and see to it that her physical body healed itself even more rapidly so that we could get out.

As far as Ruburt’s motions are concerned, the body is following its own rhythms, which will sometimes involve overt, noticeable exercise and activity on the one hand, while on the other it exercises internally, so to speak, making all preparations for the other later exercises and motion. [...]

Then, gradually, I became aware that my consciousness was settling back in my body again, but slowly, like dust motes descending through the evening air down to where my body sat upright at the table, head bent, fingers furiously scribbling notes about what was happening as if they had a mind of their own.

The matter of the universe can be conceived of as a physical body, an organism of individual cells (objects) held together by connective tissue (the chemicals and elements of air). [...] Within it, as within the connective tissues of the human body, there is a certain elasticity, a certain amount of regeneration and a constant replacement of the atoms and molecules that compose it. [...]

[...] The next instant, my consciousness rushed out of my body, yet it was itself bodiless, taking up no space at all; it seemed to be merging with the air outside the window, plunging through the treetops, resting, curled within a single leaf. [...]

I’m including here only some of the passages that were written by my fingers without my knowledge while I was out of my body. [...]

In the first form, you can look back, and see your body. If you project from this form into another in order to intensify your experience, then from this second form you will not see your body upon the bed.

You will be aware however of your body, and you will experience some duality. In the third form you will no longer be aware that your body is on the bed, and you will not see it.

You will be able to look back and see your physical body upon the bed on some occasions, and in other cases you will not be able to do this. [...]

[...] It would for example be quite possible to return to the physical body from this form, and not recognize it as your own. [...]

(10:13.) Now, Ruburt’s body is trying to right itself. [...]

[...] He can help himself by remembering what I am saying, by exercising gently at such times, and by remembering the miraculous processes within the body that are indeed supporting him. [...]

[...] He said she’s still getting quite a lot of the Synthroid for a person of her body weight. [...]

[...] Once again she concentrated—or her body did—on motions involving mainly her head and shoulders, torso, and to a much lesser degree for the most part, her legs and feet. [...]

Let my body move with gladness,

I put the statement together with the little I recalled from Seth’s session and then spent a few minutes feeling my body sensations: right knee—sore; arms—sore. [...]

I thought of the many other people who must do the same thing if not with body sensations perhaps with events of other kinds. [...]

In the meantime another excellent verse for my poem came to mind plus the phrase, the body of pleasure and the magical impetus.... [...]

— is instead the result of an exaggeration or overextension of perfectly normal body processes. You are not attacked by viruses, for instance, for all kinds of viruses exist normally in the body. [...]

(Long pause.) People have been taught that their bodies are a kind of battleground, and that they must be in a constant state of readiness lest they be attacked or invaded by alien germs or viruses or diseases that can strike without warning.

Now this has to do with the electrical currents about the skin, and sweat on the body. Also with saline composition of the body at various times of the year.

Now where the ego operates you will always find chemical repercussions; to some extent or another then the physical body will be involved. [...]

[...] As chemical reactions allow the body to utilize energy and form physical materializations, so the excess built up then becomes a propelling force, allowing action to flow in what you would term subjective directions.

[...] They are most apt to occur in the early hours, between 3 and 5 A.M. The body temperature drops at such times. [...]

She had carried those beliefs of course throughout that period of time, and they were expressed unconsciously through her body — through gestures, expressions, tones of voice. [...]

[...] These brought about the weakened body state. [...]

[...] The body would then cease reacting to such stress, and almost immediately the exterior situation itself would be altered.

[...] The “proper” emotions will be generated, bringing about those body states that exist in your conscious mind.

It would also be possible however to go through his body and pinpoint the particular energizing feelings and ideas responsible for the excellent functioning of the other body areas. [...]

[...] The release of the fears then allows the body to release the natural optimism and healthy emotions that are needed, and the expansion of activity and energy.

[...] It would be possible to go through Ruburt’s body and pinpoint the physical materialization of certain feelings as they are represented in a symptom.

[...] Each time the body reacts less and less. [...]

[...] EE units are formed spontaneously from the electromagnetic reality of feelings emitted from each consciousness, as, for example, breath automatically goes out from the physical body.

[...] Now in certain dreams and out-of-body experiences, your own consciousness moves faster than the speed of light, and under such conditions you are able to perceive some of these other forms of “mass or matter.”

[...] Since consciousness can travel faster than the speed of light, then when it is not imprisoned by the slower particles of the body it can become aware of some of these other realities. [...]

[...] A man is not an animal, then, nor does he invade, say, the body of one.

[...] The general overall condition of his body represents his general state of inner health. [...]

[...] An inclination to project a local symptom on the body in general—do you follow me?—is very poor, and takes focus away from very definite advances which go unnoticed.

When the knee is bad, today for example, the tendency is to focus upon it, and the difficulties involved, and to ignore entirely the other portions of the body which are not affected. [...]

[...] The true stuff or material of his body of course will not be here, since its kind of matter cannot exist within your own, that is within your own system.
