“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When he did not then he questioned the message that came through him, and then could not use it properly. The body is in the process of balancing the right and left sides, and as noted improvements on the right side are being picked up by the left. In this case the right side is the teacher side. There will be periods of deep relaxation (as today), and the opportunities must be allowed for so that gains during these periods can be utilized in action later.

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.

Give us a moment here. The old body beliefs were adopted to serve the purposes of other beliefs about work that have now almost, but not entirely, completely dissolved. They have dissolved sufficiently enough to be inconsequential.

In time the body beliefs connected with them could dissolve by themselves, but the pattern of habit still operates, and some of the habits can be tackled much more easily than Ruburt realizes.

(9:45.) We will come back to this. Give us a moment. He is only now beginning to trust his body, and those suggestions should by all means be continued as given. He concentrated upon proofs of the body’s “lack of dependability” in the past, and now is beginning to build up his faith in its dependability. Again, whenever he looks well tell him so, for your honest enjoyment of his person and body will now be of great value, since now he is open to that kind of appreciation. He can use it more constructively than in the past.

That inner order is being physically materialized. Your point is vital—that he separate the belief from himself, and recognize it as a belief: that he cannot walk properly (at break). This alone will show excellent results. His legs and knees can bear his weight. This should be used as a morning and evening suggestion. It is true now. The belief that his legs and knees cannot support his weight is an old belief, and a belief, not a statement of fact in basic terms. Until now the belief, however, has resulted in a condition of experience—a falsehood perpetuated upon the body, to which it has then responded. The belief was the result of faulty perception and understanding, adopted because of those other beliefs about work that no longer apply.

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.

As his posture changes the corns will vanish. Now undue concentration upon shoes is not a help. He should however either go barefooted or change shoes for some short period during each day. The getting up and down each time brings him in direct conflict with the old body beliefs, and ideas of motion, that he used to repress. I will have more to say about that issue in particular at our next session.
