“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your inner perceptions will often come in this manner then. The information must impress the nervous system, and it will take the most highly developed physical channel. Ruburt’s inner perceptions often take the auditory, you see. His hearing is exceptionally keen. Therefore inner data is directed, often, into that channel, for it will impress him vividly.

Another point here on Ruburt. The relaxation exercises will help short-circuit his tendency toward overreaction. Maltz’s telephone episode should be imagined by him in place of all unpleasant stimulus. Let him—again and again I say this— focus toward his work and classes, and pleasant daily activities, and away from symptoms.

The success exercises are also teaching him how to focus his energy without strong conscious deliberation. Often he tries too hard to relax. Now give us a moment here. (Pause.)

The man who threw in his burden ahead of time was your father. (Smile.) He did this years ago in effect, hence you passed him by, while recognizing his gesture and deciding against it. The packs represented abilities as well as burdens, you see. He was afraid of his abilities and his burdens. He could not go along with them on his back. He was afraid they would drown him. He leaped into life, denying himself the use of his abilities because of the responsibilities they entailed, hence the separation.

You saw that she still carried, as Jane, the abilities and responsibilities while in the middle of the stream. Had the dream not ended you would have made your way across to him, in time (smile), to help him up when he fell—this symbolic of his difficulties in the past year. The others were individuals that you have known.

In the same way that he has lately caught himself tensing his jaw, so has he tensed his neck and shoulder muscles for some time. We want him to be able to recognize tension in the shoulders, as he can now, but could not earlier, recognize the tension in the jaw.

I will at least counteract some of the muscular tension and dissipate it. The activity itself will encourage him. Fifteen minutes at the least. Some exercises where he can see his own progress. These not to be picked up and dropped, but continued. They need not be the same.
