“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am trying here to get a rather complicated idea through to you, but we have not sufficiently broken it down yet. Take a break and we shall see what we can do. I will try to break it down while his mind is momentarily otherwise engaged.

We will, instead, begin our next session with this material and for now I have a few comments to make. When you rubbed our friend’s (Jane’s) back the other evening, you did indeed improve his condition. This was not basically because of the physical action involved, though in this case the physical actions were necessary for your own expression.

You sent vital healing energy and resolution to his physical body, and the heat he felt was the result of this energy. The feeling had built up in you to help him. The rubbing expressed this feeling from you, and then acted directly on a sense-data level which both of you needed at the time to confirm what was an inner experience.

Much of man’s creativity is expressed directly through his hands, and for this reason they are often used in healing experiences. They have a significance intuitively felt by the inner self.

When Ruburt is involved in activity and his mind directed elsewhere, away from his symptoms, then his symptoms are greatly minimized, and at times disappear. This represents a good amount of development on his part, since earlier he found it difficult to address himself to activity.

When he ceases activity however, he has a tendency to activate the symptoms rather than direct his attention elsewhere. The letup of physical activity is not the issue, though he thinks it is at the end of the day. An exciting conversation, an exciting inner mental activity serves well to divert him. A series of such lapses accentuate the condition of course. Then he uses his book and suggestion to clear the air and begins again anew.
