“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth considered the first two questions but not the third one; I didn’t realize this until the session was over. We were visited by Sheri, Jerry, and Roni at 8:33 PM this evening; they stayed an hour or so, hence the late start for this evening’s session. Sheri called at 8 PM, having just arrived at the Bankers’ from NYC. She wanted to tell us about class in NYC, etc. Although we wanted to see her, we found ourselves caught in the old dilemma about visitors conflicting with plans we’d already made— i.e., the session tonight. Half our problem, we saw in a discussion before the guests arrived, was that we had no planned response for such situations: we ended up feeling guilty at saying no, and resentful at saying yes. As it was, we sat for the session, with a resolve to try to do better next time. We do make progress in such affairs as visitors, expected or not expected, but could do much better.

The body even lovingly seeks to follow its own nature, and is lovingly directed to do so. Ruburt’s eyes lovingly try to perfect themselves. I realize you are not living in an ideal world, but we are giving that world ideas that can vastly increase peoples’ understanding. The body is never in a state of status quo. Ruburt’s improvements are occurring, as I said. The eyes, however, have given hints of their true capacity, as in today’s episodes.

These may not be observably followed up in the next day or so, or even week, because the body is also working on other areas. But they are all signposts, and they should be vastly reassuring.

The situation with the eyes today, however, can be used as a basis to lead to an understanding that the same can happen with the teeth. It is true in terms of culture that the two of you may feel quite alone in this endeavor, but in terms of more basic issues you are not alone, for you have all of the power of nature on your side.

When the large ligaments in the neck area started to repair themselves, they did not try to do a halfway job, but to undo conditions of longstanding; some that were taken for granted, such as lack of depth perception, for example. Your fears, generated by the beliefs of your society, of course, add extra anxiety when Ruburt’s eyes look poorly, and he has trouble with his vision.

Such measures to some extent segregate certain portions of the body, as if those portions could be considered alone. In Ruburt’s case the bifocals would have been detrimental. His vision problems had little to do with his eyes, for example, but with the way he was using the ligaments in his neck, and with his posture. As the posture changed, the eyes had to change. Those changes were bound to involve alterations in vision.

There is some overall general improvement, which I want you to note. There will be, however—my next forecast (humorously)—sudden excellent performances, usually of an isolated nature, of one portion of the body or another, with a less noticeable but definite continuation of overall improvement.

Ruburt’s idea for the future is a good one—seeing those who officiate at such groups (Seth classes). You make your own reality, but you cannot ignore the greater reality from which your world springs. Even those people, therefore, who deny the validity of anything but the most materialistic philosophy, sometimes dream unmaterialistic dreams, and in their unguarded moments they sense the greater source from which their materialistic world springs.

You wondered, really, if such a reality were possible, and if some people were really so blind—but the inner self provides certain safeguards, and the universe is a caring one, so that even those people are given some inner version.
