“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are used to “trusting your physical perceptions,” taught to accept physical evidence above all as the mark of reality. This is a part of your culture. Ruburt, involved in highly avant-garde work, always tried to make sure he had both feet upon the ground—in his terms, to be fairly objective. When he finds himself in such physical circumstances then it is difficult for him to fly in the face of such “physical evidence.”

In any area, an attempt to alter an unfavorable circumstance will always find you, at one stage, flying in the face of all physical evidence to the contrary. Do you follow me?

He must project that same sense of freedom and understanding into the physical situation, and fly as freely in the face of that situation. You were correct, therefore: he must believe that he can indeed be normally flexible. And if he does so believe, he will be. The fear causes him to organize memory and behavior so that all physical evidence then correlates with his belief that he cannot get well.

(I was angry at the time, I remember, but since I’m typing this material several days later I can’t accurately recall all of my mixed feelings at the time. I know that one of my thoughts was that Jane’s simply getting up earlier might help break the cycle of repetitive thinking and action.

(“I wish that was all that was involved,”)

—sadly, and with a nostalgic remembrance, because you do not believe that Ruburt can change his beliefs enough, and this, you see, is precisely what he fears. It is, however, most probable simply because the evidence is before you in all areas of your lives—that his energy, when it is directed, is most effective. We simply want it now directed in the physical area.
