“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt saw how being away from his desk and the house worked creatively to his advantage, as per the ride to your mother’s (in Centerville), and the earlier walk around the block. There is no doubt of the many improvements, made up of a series of inner improvements that do not show as yet, except as the time element presents itself—i.e., he gets over here (apartment 5) quicker and easier.

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.

The suggestions I gave (in recent sessions) amounted to a “schedule of activities,” calculated to give room to creative and physical expression. Common sense applies. If he dances or cleans the apartment, then his natural impulses are being physically directed in those fashions. He does not have to feel that he must go for his walk when physically he feels like cleaning, for example. The badminton, unless he is in a relaxation period, is excellent, however, and should be maintained because of the opportunity for speed. Now it is the only way he can experience some, except for the swinging of the arms.

(9:36.) Give us a moment.... The soreness in the joints will now begin to diminish simply because the first activation was bound to present some friction as the joints began to move from a state of relative rigidity. The heat cushions that effect, hence the frequent inner heat treatments. (Jane was experiencing these effects today and tonight, etc.)

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.

Encouraging Ruburt’s physical spontaneity now, you symbolically encourage your own inner spontaneity, and both of you recognize that. Give us a moment.... There are reasons set by you because of the nature of your purpose, so that your best work will come later in your lives. Your mother realizes how she is opening avenues through which you understand more than you did, and she knows that you follow her on journeys of which other family members are ignorant.

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.
