“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I told Jane this afternoon that we should get more information from Seth about her eyes. I was especially concerned by their bloodshot, protruding appearance. I didn’t understand how their appearance could mean that improvements were taking place, even though Jane said they’d felt much better the past two days. She agreed that we should get all the information on them that was possible.

(A storm was building up as we sat for the session. We could hear thunder rolling beyond the mountain to the north. The day had been exceptionally hot—well over 90 degrees—probably the hottest of the year so far.

(I should add that Jane’s ankles had shown a marked improvement. Their swelling was much decreased, with a corresponding increase in mobility. She said her knees also, seemed to be responding to the same process of change involving the ankles.)

Now let us begin.... Despite negative beliefs, false starts, or disappointments, Ruburt’s body has always tried to improve itself. The improvements were relatively isolated—kept apart from each other, not connecting overall, so that main motions could be affected. And despite your joint negativism, and your joint distrust of improvements, and your joint insistence upon ignoring any improvements noted by Ruburt as ludicrously insignificant in the face of what was needed—in spite of all of that, the body has kept up its own struggle.

(There was much thunder and wind and heavy rain.)

As a result of that definite improvement, Ruburt was able to lift his head slightly as he walked. We can wait if you want....

He started using them in ways he had not before. They were not in the old locked position, and he was beginning to enlarge his peripheral vision, which though he did not know it, had previously been limited by the head motion. The eye strain began to show. He became frightened. The tenseness from his fear would alternately relax and tighten the muscles, then.

(10:05.) Give us a moment.... There was also increased circulation to the eyes—very important, though this gave him a feeling of congestion at times. You were not having sessions during part of that period. He could not rely upon himself, and he did not trust the eye doctor. The bifocals (recently purchased) were resisted. The eye muscles were trying to work. The bifocals were trying to do the work for the eyes.

The opening of these capillaries was responsible for the itching feeling in both the ankles, and to a lesser extent in the knees.

He can for example begin to copy material for, say, an hour a day. Before there was no trouble. That was all the eyes did, relatively speaking. In the body’s reality, for example, today’s improvements are quite momentous—but your joint attitudes in the past put the body’s efforts down.

To some extent all of Ruburt’s movable parts have, since the sessions lately began, become more pliable. He said he felt a trifle lighter on his feet—again, dismissed by both of you as insignificant. This was the result of increased circulation, but mainly the result of tensions being relieved in those important neck areas.

I have said before in the past that a given time was ripe for a change of a most beneficial nature. It does no good to ask why those advantages were not fully taken advantage of. In 1973 Ruburt made definite and important strides. You can say that those strides were useless, since they were not followed through to normal mobility.
