“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.” Seth’s entity name for Jane is Ruburt—he, him, his.)

The gestures you are making are important not only for their innate benefits. They are a vital means of showing your intent to other portions of the self. One small note here: at those times when Ruburt wears sweaters to bed, you see, they serve as reminders of his mother’s bed jackets. This was the main reason for his difficulty regarding the arms last night in bed.

These measures, incidentally, will refresh you both and are always excellent provisions against rigidity in any form. They are actually exercises in the spontaneous release of the intuitive portion of the self. I would suggest for awhile that he refrain from wearing black sweaters in general, except that I fear his wardrobe is already depleted. (Smile.)

You have been doing well with the pendulum, and the exercise has successively opened up communication with deeper layers of the self. An hypnotic session would be helpful, but only when you feel confident. A point here involving Ruburt’s hands and his mother’s sweaters: he knew that knitting was a therapeutic measure suggested in the past to exercise his mother’s hands. When he became sensitized to the sweaters, then he had difficulty with his own hands, you see.

He is allergic, so to speak, to perfumes or colognes that come in a particular shaped bottle, rather than to their contents. His mother, incidentally, called him greedy for wanting to use her perfume. He does not like your room heater. It reminds him of his mother’s space heater. Give us a moment. (Pause.) These various sensitivities will lose, and are losing their power, and the fact of recognizing them is an automatic benefit.

He is beginning to identify his spontaneous self now with the spontaneity of the nursery school children, and this is a definite improvement. Did you have any specific questions?
