“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It may seem that the body’s release should only bring feelings of comfort and greater ease. The body mends itself in its own way, however, and you will put your own psychological judgments upon its sensations. Ligaments as they release put forth much action. They try themselves out. They will appear to dangle, and then to tighten and dangle again. The body coming to life is active, and its activity may clamor at times. When you are not used to trusting the body, then those activities may seem to be causes for alarm—and such fears should be expressed—as long as the other definite feelings of comfort, ease, quickness, or flexibility are also expressed.

You can have an overall plan for life as long as it is not too rigid, but you live your life a day at a time. Biologically you must live in the present.

In this life Ruburt knew his neighborhood as a child, and his feelings about people were not tempered by television programs showing normal families, or other ways of life. He believed that life was a life-and-death struggle, and having finally found what he wanted to do, his mode of survival, he brought out all of his artillery to protect himself while he did his thing.

In all of this he did not until recently realize, or want to realize, that he was not fully responding to his own life, or even that he was not fully functional, but “responsive” was the word. Also you tossed fears between you like a ball, so that when one was optimistic the other one was down. You do not have to be saints or prophets. Your beliefs in the power of the present, and in Ruburt’s recovery, as stated lately in these sessions, must, however, outbalance your doubts.
