“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(During the past week Jane has made a spectacular improvement in the use of her right arm, with lesser but steady improvement in the left. There have been other good signs physically; she has also improved considerably in her daily walks, etc. The body changes for the better seem to be long-lasting—already they have existed for longer periods than any others in recent years. Needless to say we are both very pleased.)

It is obvious not only that Ruburt is improving but that one important area of the body has begun to clear itself to a large degree. Do you agree with me?

Then since we have that established, let me tell you that it is of course no coincidence, for the right arm was the area first affected. The body has its own patterns of behavior, connected with beliefs; but in this memory pattern there are tracings, and these are beginning to be erased in the order in which the condition was established. Do you follow me?

The hardest part, however, is over, for the sensation of freedom has been physically introduced through the arm into the system—and that message echoes throughout the system. Ruburt no longer believes he needs the symptoms. The condition therefore is beginning to fade. It will not take anything like the same amount of time to vanish as it did to establish itself. There will be sudden improvements on the physical level, as with the arm, but before that occurred there were changes in beliefs. There will be other almost unnoticed improvements that will not show until they “suddenly appear” as a major breakthrough—and these have already begun.

At the same “time” his body kept trying to assert its privileges and natural life, but he saw it as a tool to work. He understands now a good deal of this, but I want to put it in form for him. Even his writing time therefore became frenzied. He did not live in the moment, or know his body’s present reality. Sensations and impulse were deadened, unless they could be translated into “work.”

The body’s weight was kept down for the same reasons, because he felt according to those old beliefs, that the body’s sustenance and substance in physical reality was not important in regard to his work. These ideas are also vanishing now. The body with weight and substance might be unmanageable, filled with too much energy, and therefore want the physical activity he thought he must deny it for his work. It is not a matter of what he ate, but chemically what he did with the nourishment.

Any panic he now recognizes having to do with time represents left-over old obsessions about the necessity to work with a time limit. Even in those limited terms you see he realized that his achievements and production are in his terms now sufficient; but he must move out of those limiting ideas, and he is.

Fresh tomatoes are good. Instead of fresh (so-called)commercial tomatoes, however, use canned ones for him. But not tomato juice alone, canned.

Make sure you “suitably” recognize his improvements. There will be more of them. But again, periods of readjustment which should be accepted as such. The mobility of the fingers is much better when typing—something he did not mention.
