“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.

The walking however is also important. There is no time limit set there. The walking will become easier, and as it does he can then walk further. For now let him continue as he has, but daily, walking to the corner when he feels the impetus.

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.

(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.

Remind him, and I know I am repeating myself, that concenration must not be upon the problem—which, remind him, has lessened. I want to get into some other issues here. Take a brief break and we will continue.

Now, let us continue: Ruburt has been working with what he calls the inward order of events. Tell him that in that order of events he can walk so well at this point, now, that anyone would have to look twice to discover that he was not walking perfectly. That is the situation in the inner order of events now.

The man who was bothered by epilepsy did Ruburt a service and Ruburt definitely helped him; but there in dramatic fashion Ruburt saw how beliefs operated, and through helping the individual also saw the best ways he could help himself and others as well. The man had his reassuring rituals.

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.

Aspects is extremely important, for it represents the reorganization of his ideas, and in a highly creative framework. Continue the program precisely as I have outlined it. I have an addition of sorts to add. He has not begun squatting. I want this begun. He may even hold on to something if he wants to, but I want him to feel the sensation of letting go once a day at least, in a squatting position. As he progresses three such movements at one time will be of great benefit.

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.

That is enough for tonight. Have him use it well. I bid you a fond good evening.
