“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: The framework provided an outside structure of nonchalant interactions with people, so that even when Ruburt was tempted to withdraw there was some exterior stimuli present. The surroundings also served other purposes. Not having children, you do not have that constant steady interrelationship with others in which you are brought back always to the immediacy of the moment. Your neighbors provided that stimuli also.

Give us a moment... The inner beliefs are continually strengthening the ones of freedom, and the body is responding. It is precisely here that you run up against the body beliefs. They are in turn changing for the better. I do not want him to think in terms of absolutes. Yet at the same time all motions and actions reinforce the healthy body beliefs and dissolve the old ones.

All is progressing at its own rate, however, and tell Ruburt to trust this. The rituals will be abandoned, but gradually, slipping away. The inner self knows what it is doing. Ruburt is being released. There is no doubt of it—but in a safe, natural, and ever-accelerating rate both for his body and development.

I do not mean this will be a long drawn-out process either, but one in which he tastes freedom gradually, is not frightened but steadily encouraged, and in which there will be no backslidings, but understandings at all levels of body-mind relationships.

He is more embarrassed now by his walking because of a healthy impatience that is understandable, but this must be kept under control so that it does not hamper him. When you are with him others do not offer to help—they see that he is taken care of. When he is alone and trying to be independent then people offer and he becomes dismayed. He used the last episode (on the back stairs) to trigger an important development in walking up the stairs, but he is not to imagine that everyone else is perfect because they look all right; then he deals with absolutes, becomes frightened, and exaggerates his condition, thinking in physical terms alone and forgetting those inner abilities of his, of creativity, that are indeed so important.

Do you have questions?

They will be improved as his overall condition improves. He should use baking soda, and brush twice a day as he does not do. Tension caused the condition, and the gums were weakened The vitamins are of a help.

(“Thank you very much. He’s doing well, Seth. Good night.” 10:56 PM.)
