“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When Ruburt’s mother went to the hospital in his high-school years, he had a symbolic way of ridding the house of her psychic presence, and to add to his own sense of inner freedom. He threw open the windows, something usually denied him. This also has a therapeutic symbolism for him in connection with his grandfather, that is the feeling that cleansing nature rids the air of impurities. He also liked to have the radio blaring as a gesture of defiance and freedom, and within limitations, this would be an aid when the windows are opened. There are other reasons for the housecleaning suggestions also, involving individualistic symbols that have strong value for him.

It would perhaps help if at least one window is open during Ruburt’s exercise period.

These procedures would have been of some help in the past, but now that the basic reason for the symptoms is conquered, the effectiveness of these methods should lead to the disappearance of all symptoms. He must check himself, however. He is in a habit, for example, now, of not bending down deeply and when he catches himself, he must move as he used to.

Each success sets up a new constructive pattern. Part of the late afternoon symptoms at work, lately, have been caused by a simple fear that difficulty would strike him on his way home. To protect himself from this, he developed the symptoms before leaving, thus giving himself a legitimate excuse to ask for, or accept, a ride.

Now that the basic reasons for the symptoms have been conquered, the symptoms would disappear in any case, but at a rather slow rate. The suggestions given, applied with intensity, can work wonders in a very brief time. Attention directed elsewhere is extremely important, for energy is withdrawn from the symptoms. A complete change of environment would be excellent of course if it were practical. Changes in the patterns and habits within the environment will do in place of the above, however.

Now we will close our session. I would be willing enough to do an envelope test, but presume you would rather wait.
