“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

So he was keeping the terms of the old contract. In the meantime you had learned so much, and so had he, but he still interpreted what he learned in the line of those old beliefs. He now realizes he has what he wanted—a creative framework in which to exist, with some financial independence. But he is now faced with body beliefs that have been built up as a result of the previous conflicts, and those are what you have to combat.

Now: the original reasons for the condition are vanishing. In order to bring about those conditions however, Ruburt reactivated old body beliefs that now have to be dealt with.

He had healthy enough body concepts that had to be minimized to give him the symptoms, and this was done by reactivating beliefs he had “grown out of” before his symptoms. His mother gave him the idea that he was not graceful, for example, and this idea was reactivated. He was not allowed to take physical education because he was “not strong enough, and too high strung” when he was in high school. He was told not to run, but walk, to slow down because it was too dangerous to go fast, because he was too nervous. Now those beliefs, which he had dispensed with, were reactivated as aids, and they are the ones that now must be tackled.

Your body can now perform better—that should be used as a morning and evening suggestion, and anything you can say will be of help in that regard. It is highly important as a body belief. He must trust the relaxation period. There are periods where there is some disorientation, as the body rids itself of tensions, at its own pace, and they will be followed by periods of physical ambition.

He is to check with you when he feels blue, for your more objective attitude can help him. You are now left with the body beliefs, and not with the original ones behind them.

We are dealing now with body beliefs, then. Impress upon him that he is not moving too fast, that he is not so nervous that he must slow down, meaning slowing down the body.

Ruburt is left with the body image that he acquired. He is afraid that he cannot undo what he has done. He can indeed, but he needs to develop confidence in that belief, and each physical achievement is of great benefit.

To some extent he still projects his illness into the future. Any help you can be results in reinforcing his attractiveness, and your belief in his ability to improve physically. I will have other precise suggestions. They are geared to his progress, and later a change of environment will be important simply because of the break-up of conditioning.

You have working for you the fact that the beliefs causing the condition are quickly vanishing. You are left with subsidiary beliefs involving body motion that have to be directly encountered and challenged.

The vitamins do help combat the stress he places upon the body, but only while he works with these sessions and his beliefs. Your ages were involved, in that he felt you had only so much time. Remind him that the ideas he reactivated about the body may have had some application to a child, but none to a woman.
