“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He also punishes himself rather unkindly, with sore muscles, incidentally. When he is working at full power he is quite beyond such physical symptoms. He is outside of them. This energy, the use of it, is a natural ability that is part of his personality, and he must use it. For him it results in a smooth performance, for when he does not use it fully then he is besieged by false starts and interruptions.

The unused energy ties him up in knots, you see. (Her eyes open, Jane gestured by clapping her upper arms; she has experienced muscle cramps and spasms in both deltoids recently.) He must now concentrate that same energy into three main fields or endeavors: poetry and the two books. When he is home working the same energy utilized in his teaching must be used for his own work. This will effectively relieve him of all physical symptoms.

Through personal interests and background this is done through his work. When this is not done the unconverted energy is literally stopped up, and causes definite physical symptoms that represent a blockage of energy. This can lead to general nervousness as well. A vicious circle is then formed. He broods because he knows he is not working correctly, and then because he broods he cannot work correctly.

Now I have given our friend Ruburt a boost. However the suggestions must be followed for it to be permanent. If the suggestions are followed there will be no return of symptoms, nor new ones adopted. He should stay away from your friend Piper (the chiropractor) for a while at least. The problems must be solved at their basic level, and once these lessons are learned they are of benefit for the rest of your lives.

The foot symptom is also connected here. But as it began to improve, you see, the arm symptom developed. Both will vanish, and immediately, when the proper steps which I have taken the time to outline, are followed.

As you know now, Ruburt handled himself well in a new situation, and that maturity gained these past two years was instantly felt. He would have hit upon the proper solution to his physical symptoms eventually on his own. This evening’s session has already intuitively made great sense to him, and will save him several months of difficulties. And I take no fee. (Gesture, smiling, eyes open. Then long pause, eyes closed.)
