“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.

Ruburt has made advances today, partially aided by the receipt of the contracts (for the dream book), but also for reasons given by me recently. He should indeed now learn to become aware of those immediately denied impulses toward motion, of which he spoke this evening. And of course to follow through with the motion, rather than to check it as he has often done.

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.

He is to begin writing, and to continue each day, and the book will take care of itself. It makes no difference where he begins to write. But I expect five pages tomorrow.

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.
