“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, good evening.

Now, as to your York Beach images. Here aggressive and destructive energies were unconsciously projected outward, given a pseudoreality and a temporary physical validity. There was a protein loss on your own parts.

Now even in the case of hallucinations, the originator uses projections from his own physical structure, which he then perceives. Though the mind, or brain rather, may be seemingly passive in the case of the perceiver, the metabolism is quickened, for the body is using energy at a quickened rate.

Now. Physical illness is not a natural condition. It also necessitates additional work of this same sort, hence often the physical vitamin deficiencies that occur. In many cases they do not cause a disease, but are the result of it. In the same way that the body’s proteins and chemical structures can be used to form various kinds of images, they may also be utilized in a lesser fashion to, say, form an ulcer, a goiter, or to affect other changes.

It was the beginning in your case, of recovery. Telepathic communication between you and Ruburt was also involved. Ruburt realized that as you changed, so would he. Now, this same sort of deterioration over a longer period of time can occur in the original physical image, when the energy is not projected into more or less independent structure. Do you see?

Now. Ruburt was correct. He did not want to admit his own strong spontaneous nature. It has not gone anywhere. He need only strongly desire that it return, on his terms, and he will find it.

(“How much is Jane contributing now, physically, to your presence?”)

Now. The reason for his unrest yesterday and today is simple. A reaction. He was afraid that his spontaneous self had been swallowed in our sessions. The emotional reaction was rather natural, since our last session touched on some deep points.

Now we have hit something here, of importance. Give us a moment. (Pause.) Free arms, to him, represent abandonment, in the terms of giving into, freely and openly. He has been afraid of letting down completely. Now, he has not been aware of his fear of being suddenly released completely. The conscious knowledge will be of great help.

In all relaxation exercises he should imagine himself as fluid, as wind or water, and not as a statue. Regularity of sessions, our sessions, will help now also. Tonight’s material should have a definite and observable beneficial effect upon him.

Now, you may take a break, end the session, or ask any questions.

(Smile.) His attention is not directed upon it. It would take me many hours to explain this. Now, if you want me to, I will devote the time... (Humorously.

(Here Seth refers to our seance of early 1964, and some physical effects manifested in Jane’s hands. Now Jane held up one hand, then pointed to it.

We have one further note. Ruburt’s spontaneous nature is tolerant, sunny, quite natively good in his terms—qualities that he finds so difficult when he tries to manufacture them while denying spontaneity. I expect now a definite change for the better, and as soon as Ruburt is ready, then we will begin my book.

One point: the spontaneous self is the healer. Tell Ruburt that. (Pause.) I will now then close our session, and leave you, I hope, in anticipation for our next.
