“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

Now: while Ruburt acquiesced to his condition, his own rituals were reassuring. He believed he should not get up. The rituals are more obvious now, and to some extent he becomes more impatient. Recognizing rituals as rituals will be of benefit.

Ruburt believed he could wear only one pair of shoes. This was highly symbolic, meaning that he could walk only in one way. He purposely chose shoes that did not fit, in line with his past belief that he should not be physically active. There was then a built-in excuse also.

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.

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.

The brush for stimulation of the gums however is an important adjunct. It should be followed by washing the mouth out each time with a mild solution of salt and water, which stimulates and toughens the tissues. This should be done before bed. The other time is inconsequential—that is it can be done at any time.
