“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all, diet-wise, your idea of a normal diet is quite adequate. The other diets you have been discussing are indeed restrictive (as I had said earlier), particularly for general purposes. Special diets, at particular times, restricted ones, can be of benefit in certain specialized areas of development, but there is always the danger of going overboard.

In Ruburt’s case more normal food is sufficient as far as diet itself is concerned. He is still doing well with the exercises. His determination to use his body is helping in this area. A natural-enough resentment comes to the surface at times, natural enough under the circumstances, in which he objects to taking special time out, but largely he is overcoming that attitude and a more pliable attitude toward the body is being set up.

You can direct his anticipation for example of vacation along positive lines. When this happens positive and negative attitudes interflow freely. Otherwise he does not voice worries, for example. The ones that he has are not severe ones, regarding the wisdom of your move for example, but are negative projections on his part.

Guest houses that have bedrooms two stories up, how he can get downstairs, that sort of thing—but he has not expressed them. Encourage him to do so, get them out in the open where they can quite easily be handled with your help.

The suggestions should definitely be renewed, with a light touch, but they will make the exercises much more effective. The trust-the-body suggestions and those you began sometime earlier. These are highly important, and there were results, now, when you worked with them steadily.

It may seem that results did not show (they didn’t) but Ruburt’s notebook clearly outlines various points of progress during that time. With the change in your way of life now, and the physical way of handling problems—getting them out into the open—the suggestions will have better results than they did before.

This is all I am suggesting this evening. Instead I want you to talk about your trip, and have Ruburt get rid of some of the worries connected with it, so that the positive elements can have greater sway. Also discuss your other plans if you wish, but use the time to communicate in that manner.
