“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His change in attitude and performance in your personal areas, is a sign of this. You have also been of great help. Now I suggest that you playfully encourage him to increased motion. He is now aware for the first time clearly, of certain areas of rigidity, and realizes the fear behind them. Some of this is simply that he is afraid of pain if a muscle is suddenly let go. He knows this, but with your encouragement, active but playful, you can accomplish very much here. The body is quite ready to comply now, and he is mentally ready. It is a matter of taking advantage of the opportunity and good conditions.

The relaxation exercises that he spoke of are good, if they are done in a playful manner. He knows better now than to tell his body what to do. Now it is a matter of allowing it its freedom.

I am mentioning these matters this evening because the time is ripe, and proper handling now is important. His body is ready to be released, even areas such as the elbows, and dispersion has taken place here. Therefore the mobility should be encouraged.

Give us a moment. Tell him to think lovingly of his hands, as he has been doing with other areas of his body. He has been still somewhat angry with them, and must realize that they are now ready to work properly. Tell him he is handling his affairs well now.

As the probabilities exist, both of you will be well into the out-of-body work between now and early winter. (To me:) You have been operating far more than in the past, and you should shortly now gain conscious awareness. You will probably come to, realizing you have projected, several times, before becoming conscious of the mechanism of getting out.

You have indeed allowed yourself to meet with your friend Sue, and to operate within the apartment in a projected state. The change for the better in your personal, physical and psychic relationship with Ruburt was a necessity for your joint out of body partnership.

One other small point: Ruburt should continue the psychic and sensual contact with his body, listening to the messages that it gives him. This is most vital.

(While Jane and I were on vacation in Florida in July, I rather severely sunburned my feet; I had trouble walking for several days, but was able to drive home on schedule. The episode took place while we were staying with Jane’s father and his wife in Daytona Beach. I thought it most peculiar that only my feet burned when the rest of my body was equally exposed. I also gave suggestion on my part credit for saving, in the nick of time, what could have been a much more stringent situation, possibly averting disablement.)

He will help you in your out of body episodes. And show you what he knows. Then you will have your own methods, and will be able to return the help as you share your experience. You have also been sending thought forms out—and this is different, than an astral image.

(To resume: Sue Watkins, one of Jane’s ESP class members, left three questions last night for Seth to answer when possible. Here is question 1: When I project while I am pregnant, is my astral body pregnant; i.e., does the astral body carry the astral counterpart of the fetus, or does the astral fetus remain in my physical body, within the physical fetus? Does astral projection remove any necessary energy sustenance from the fetus?

(“Can you say a little bit about Sue’s first question, about the astral body of the fetus?” Jane didn’t know I was going to ask this question.)

The fetus does have its own astral form. Now, this astral form belongs to the individual, the personality as it will be in this life. It is not the astral form that existed in a previous reincarnation, for example.

It helps form the new individual, and then it must withdraw. The new self unit must be free and not hampered by the demands that could otherwise be put upon it. The new individual has a deeply buried memory of its past lives, but the personal consciousness of the last reincarnated self must not be superimposed upon this new identity. The new personality, in its small astral body, does visit with other portions of the entire identity. It is even given lessons of a kind, but it is very much its own self.

It may or it may not. It does not have to. It may project to other areas entirely, while Sue is somewhere else in her astral form. There is at this time however a very strong connection between the two. On a deeper level they are aware of their locations. The mother knows where the child is, even though she is not conscious of this. The mother may even go out after the child in a projection, and bring it home.
