“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

At our next session I will do your tape for you. I would not even tell Ruburt ahead of time (humorously), but even I need the tape in the recorder.

It is his fingers that want to grasp firmly, and he out of fear, fearful habit, has blocked the impulse. Reading this will remind him of that; but again here, when he is about to open something, or to grasp it, I want him to try to feel the impulse to do so, and then go along with it.

This material should be placed with the other recent sessions for him, on the top. I am keeping up with his progress, and these hints for him are uniquely tailored for his present development. He will do well with his book. He sees himself as not having begun it however, even though he has a chapter done, with which he is not entirely pleased.

Now this impulse business is highly vital. When you see him checking an impulse to move, and it is often obvious to you, then handle it in this way. Simply remind him that it is natural for his body to move. That is, do not be critical, but firmly encourage him. Following this advice will have far more reaching and far quicker beneficial results than either of you now realize, and will also release energy that will be quite obvious to the both of you.

He also blocks impulses to eat during the day, or sometimes before bed. He does not do this at meals, but the small snacks that he would ordinarily want, he does not take. He has not been tying to run, as I specified. This is important, for to him running is a happy, spontaneous activity, and he has blocked the impulse at times rather consciously because he feared he could not do it, that it would hurt or that he would look silly.
