“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was very relaxed after supper, but she wanted to have the session. The period of ease had begun this afternoon, and was still in effect at session time. Jane has had quite a few such relaxations in the past week—nearly on a daily basis, I think. They have been accompanied by sensations of heat, sweating, and soreness, though not all of these symptoms were present in each relaxation. Signs seem very encouraging. Jane now gets over to the breakfast table in perhaps half the time it took her when we began this series of sessions....)

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.

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.

(9:50. Jane’s excellent relaxation period continued during break. She didn’t know if she could get to her feet. “I’m really out,” she kept repeating. She said that she knew Seth had a “whole bunch of stuff there about parents.” She was so relaxed that we decided to resume the session, lest she find herself unable to if she waited too long. She said she was determined to get the material. Resume at 9:55.)
