“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Any work blockages are also symptoms. Seldom therefore do physical symptoms appear alone. They are usually studied almost in isolation, but wherever they appear their counterparts will be found to one extent or another, in all the activities in which a personality is involved. It is only when these less visible, less apparent symptoms are ignored, when the causes for them are not sought or found, that physical symptoms show themselves.

I will have more to say for him to read, but I suggest a short break. Some of this material will be quite pertinent, generally speaking.

As they have dropped down they represent the dropping of resistance, and strength returns to them. They were not at all strong, but weak to an extreme at their worst, because they were denying the source of strength.

I have told him that concentration on his work will dissipate the rest of his symptoms, but he adopted a too-conscious (underlined) deliberation here. He should write his book the same way that he writes his poetry—not demand of himself, but simply and quietly and joyfully expect.

Tell him that he produces books as naturally as a tree produces leaves. He does not have to try so hard then. When he lets himself alone this happens naturally. Now this may sound redundant, but he has been listening to me rather well of late, and I know that there is significance even behind the obvious words I speak.

When he allows himself spontaneity his true vitality returns, and the feeling of joy, active joy, that he has so often missed. My word to him now then, for the 100th time—but now he will take it—is to allow himself spontaneity on a daily basis, the feeling of playfulness. A clue incidentally that his vitality is returning: he has not been nearly so tempted to nap, particularly in the afternoon.

The hints on spontaneity that have been given this evening, again, may sound simple, but they are highly significant, and Ruburt will know when, subjectively, he is being spontaneous. At one time he could not tell the difference.
