“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Physically, however, the body is quite able to completely regenerate itself as it approaches old age. [...]

[...] Kept alive through medical techniques, the physical mechanism continues its struggles to revitalize the body and bring about this second puberty — that naturally would only come about under different conditions, with the mind far more alert and the will unimpaired. [...]

[...] This attempt to grow then activates body mechanisms that result in the overgrowth of certain cells. [...]

[...] In a mock biological ceremony, he gives birth to the extent that he produces within his body material that was not there before. [...]

[...] The right foot moved and she began thrashing her body from side to side. [...]

[...] “Come on, sweet body,” she chanted softly. [...]

[...] But the body must do this in its own way. [...]

It is imperative that both of you realize that Ruburt’s body has been constantly healing itself, though not with the thoroughness that you both desire. [...] (Long pause.) He has not been as successful as he would wish — but even when fears brought about complications, the body has been successful in many ways in countering these.

(And it’s also obvious, I want to note, that we’re both aware that in certain ways Jane’s body is healing itself. [...]

Before we discuss other varieties of health and illness as they more ordinarily appear, I want to bring up the subject of more or less extraordinary conditions — dilemmas of body or mind in early life that often seem to have no cause or meaning.

Those fetuses that do not develop still contribute to the body’s overall experience, and they feel themselves successful in their own existences. [...]

I bid you a fond good evening — and once again I activate those coordinates that encourage peace of body and mind, and quicken the healing processes.

[...] That is, have him put the stress on the comments momentarily, forgetting his body entirely. [...]

After he has done these exercises, then he can begin again seeing his body walking or sitting, or whatever. [...]

[...] I stressed her general relaxation, mentioning each part of her body often. I used the word “heavy” several times also, meaning that she could be aware of the normal weight of her body, but later wondered if it was a good word to use. [...]

[...] Her body had spells of shivering, although she said she wasn’t cold in the usual sense. [...]

[...] There are all kinds of verbal and body signs that tell you which words are to be attended to more than others, so that the quality of the words is strengthened or qualified. [...]

(10:24.) An exercise such as this evening’s simply allows you to unify your will with your body, and bridge the gap of separation artificially formed, to quiet the panic, to unify the so-called conscious and unconscious, and such exercises will release energy, not only for Ruburt’s recovery, but will automatically revive your psychic lives. [...]

[...] Momentarily the physical body uses less sugar. [...] It aids in connecting the consciousness to the body, and without it under some conditions consciousness could be cut off from return. In other words, there is indeed a connection that is and must be partially physical, between the body and the traveling consciousness, and it is based upon a certain sugar molecule in a form not normally seen.

[...] The physical body is in a deep trance state. [...] According to the intensity of the projection and according to the systems visited, the physical body becomes more or less rigid when consciousness returns to it.

[...] The physical body is maintained, yet certain chemical changes occur in it also. [...]

To return then under such circumstances requires an entry from this second form back into the first, and then into the physical body. [...]

[...] Yet there is more to the body than you perceive of it, and this is difficult to explain to you … If you can think of a multidimensional body existing at one time in various realities, and appearing differently within each one while still being whole, then you can get some glimpse of what is involved.³

[...] I was beginning a new body of material, and so we have not finished with it by a long shot! [...]

(1.) It is quite possible, for example, for several selves to occupy a body, and were this the norm it would be easily accepted. [...]

In the systems in which evolution of consciousness has worked in that fashion, all faculties of body and mind in one “lifetime” are beautifully utilized. [...]

[...] You may follow one of the schools of Buddhism in which great stress is laid upon the denial of the body, discipline of the flesh, and the avoidance of desire. [...]

[...] You will consider the body as a thing, a fine vehicle but not in itself the natural living expression of your being in material form. [...]

(11:43.) However, these philosophies can lead you to a deep mistrust of both your body and mind. [...]

The mind is a system of checks and balances even as the body, and so often a set of beliefs that can be seen as highly negative will often serve beneficial ends in countering other beliefs. [...]

Dictation: Impulses, therefore, provide impetus toward motion, coaxing the physical body and the mental person toward utilization of physical and mental power.

[...] I have often said that the c-e-l-l-s (spelled) precognate, and that at that level the body is aware of vast information, information not consciously known or apprehended. [...]

[...] This knowledge is spontaneously and automatically received by the energy that composes your body, and then it is processed so that pertinent information applying to you can be taken advantage of. [...]

[...] It seems to many of you that impulses are unpredictable, contradictory, without reason, the result of erratic mixtures of body chemicals, and that they must be squashed with as much deadly intent as some of you might when you spray a mosquito with insecticide.

[...] Two corollary questions I came up with yesterday are these: Does the unconscious know there is a physical body? If it does, what is its conception of that body?

Ruburt became frightened, for example, of out-of-body travel when he began to get it in his head that “all the nuts” were doing it too, and that out-of-body activity involved him in an inner public environment, in which he might meet “all those fools” who were then not bound by physical restraints. [...]

[...] The first question Seth referred to was the one about why the subconscious didn’t realize it was going to far, when it imposed or brought about symptoms, as in Jane’s case, that were proving to be too damaging to the body, compared to what they were supposed to protect the body against.

[...] They inclined him further to think in terms of his life’s work as a highly serious, no-nonsense endeavor, a body of work to be set against the world’s other great works.

The question about the subconscious’s view of the body will be answered along with the other one, and at our next session. [...]

[...] He is not to feel ashamed of his body in your eyes, regardless of its condition. Again, in one night I can only give you so much, but he grew afraid, and you helped him today to combat that fear: He was frightened that the body could not change, and your belief that it could was of great help.

[...] You make an effort to tell him he looks well on occasion, but stroking his body tells him you love it—frowning at him does not.

[...] On his part, he must make an effort to rise above the reinforced feelings of despair, and to assure himself that his body can perform adequately with time, and following these suggestions.

Again, it may seem too simple — but by applying the same methods to the body, the body’s health will be written with health and vitality, using blood and corpuscles, joints and ligaments and so forth instead of syllables, consonants, words and sentences.

[...] In a fashion the body is a living book, being produced in every moment.

Further improvements are taking place in Ruburt’s body of an exciting nature, and I am delighted with the progress that both of you are making. [...]

[...] You don’t want to say any more about those exciting developments in Ruburt’s body?”)

We have said enough, for we always leave plenty of room as the body chooses its own manifestations, but his progress will be swifter than you have imagined. [...]

Now: this is the present state of Ruburt’s body. [...]

I agree with Ruburt’s interpretation given on his body status, then. [...]

[...] He should of course remind himself of the excellent results given on the nerve ends (the EKG) and through investigating other portions of the body through X-rays, for example. [...]

This brings a return of confidence in the body, reawakens the body memory, particularly through ordinary activities. [...]

Now this shows him that he can act resolutely in the physical world, that he can express himself through his body, that he can be physically assertive. [...]

There are also electromagnetic changes in the atmosphere, constantly affecting the body, and if the body is wearied for whatever reason it is more sensitive to these. [...]

The material represented a body of teaching, which was at variance not only with his own childhood religious background, but to some extent with the intellectual ideas of early adulthood. [...]

Neurologically, you tune into only a portion of your body’s reality and are ignorant of the great, tiny but tumultuous communications that are ever flying back and forth in the microscopic but vital cellular world.

[...] Your body’s relative permanence in time is dependent upon the electron’s magnificent behavior as it deals with probabilities. [...]

Sometimes it is not the words but the very sounds of the sessions which transfer calmness by directly affecting the body itself also.

The entire situation not only is temporary, but already has made its own turnabout, restoring the body and mind to an important degree.
