“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Frank (Longwell) is far more open-minded than most chiropractors or doctors, and he has learned much. I would like to correct a few misconceptions, however, pertinent not just here but generally.

Give us a moment.... Ruburt’s muscles know their own abilities. They do not need to be convinced, basically. They know they can move easily and quickly. They are not weak, though they may appear so. It is Ruburt who must be convinced that his muscles can move correctly. When Frank moves Ruburt’s arms thus-and-so (with gestures), the beneficial results occur because Ruburt recognizes that his arms can move. It is no surprise to the joints and muscles involved.

Frank, however, takes it for granted that there must be some resistance on the part of the body, that it will be reluctant, and this is not the case.

The body is willing, itself, to move—and anxious to do so. Your beliefs however tell you that reluctance is involved, and such a condition will result according to beliefs. By physically manipulating the body however in a given framework, Frank shows Ruburt that the body can move better. The stages involved are largely artificial. Whatever mechanisms or methods are used in any illness, they are efficient and productive only to the extent that they convince the patient of his or her power to overcome the condition.
