“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The week in its own way has been quite successful, and went rather as I expected. Several important breakthroughs were made concerning beliefs.

The squatting exercise was difficult for two reasons—one having to do with beliefs, and the second to do with the soreness about the joints. The belief has to do with letting down, of course, and I will have more to say about this. That same belief has to do with sitting on the toilet.

Now. He has done well dealing with body beliefs as he was presented with them in periods of passive relaxation. What we want to get across is the idea that motion is spontaneous. To let go is to go.

In his belief system it seemed to him that to let go was to stop. Therefore relaxation became a dirty word, where nothing was done. In relaxation periods then he is apt to worry. Things will not get done. He feels guilty. He wonders how far along with the relaxation he should go.

The Christian-Science background with the father was also important, for it was this inner belief of the father that did sustain him, and that inclination of the father and his mother (Mattie) that Ruburt chose in his background to temper his own mother’s beliefs and lead him in our direction. The daughter triumphs for the parent, then. The same applies in its own way to each individual, where the conditions and challenges and solutions as well are given in the chosen background. So the way applies in its own way to you.

We come back to will and freedom, discipline and purpose. Ruburt’s background with his mother and his beliefs in will then merged with your feelings for isolation from your father. Ruburt blocked out emotional spontaneity, feeling that his father was lax. You blocked out emotional spontaneity, feeling that your mother’s was detrimental to creative isolation. At the same time you admired Ruburt’s spontaneity. You trusted it however only because it was merged with creative purpose. He therefore used it only for such purpose, not wanting to frighten you with it otherwise because he loved you so.

Loren and Dick also chose the situation. Each parent also represented opposites to them—but different ones, and so they saw your parents differently. Do not lose contact with Dick. He is more like a son to you and Ruburt than a brother or brother-in-law.... I want you to see that all of this makes more sense in many areas than you may have realized. Ruburt’s physical state is assured. Forget the day-by-day patterns. He will be free of them so that nothing is noticed at the worst. At the best he will establish a condition of extraordinary flexibility—which is still up to him. But the beliefs have changed enough so that the improvements will come and the walking will be remedied.
