“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The legs do not appear straighter as yet, however (which Jane has been concerned about), but the change of tempo there reflects greater inner coordination. The soreness in the knees I mentioned as a possibility last week, but it discouraged him nevertheless.

As he knows the same is happening with the arms, but he is not walking on them, as indeed he has told himself. The dreams were meant to encourage him and to show him that the inner order of events does assure his improvements.

The promise in the dream made by you, that the events (of Jane’s great flexibility)were indeed happening, represented your inner knowledge that he would make it now, and his own realization of the fact, as well as the body’s acknowledgment. The first part of the dream involved excellent physical release and manipulability. The second part concerned new rooms, all rich avenues open to him, both as a result of the release and yet bringing forth the release. The rooms represented exploration, new areas of creativity in which he is even now involved.

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.

Ruburt chose the parents to see the contrast and learn the best way for him in which purpose could be combined with spontaneity, the will with the spirit. He had to see what both extremes were extremes—not practical or idealistic. All of this applied to his mental, psychic, spiritual, and physical life, and his overall purpose.

Now he is free to appreciate and use the energy shown to him by his mother in condensed dramatic fashion, tempered and freed by the free-flowing air of the father, and the physical mobility and sense of exploration that he represented.

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.

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.
