“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If he did, freely now, work as long and often as he wanted to, without worrying about going out, or housework, then naturally the period of intense mental activity would bring about a desire to go out, and be physically active.

Some of this has to do with current mass beliefs, based on the idea of the mechanics of the body being more important than the thoughts behind the body’s working. You have been told that sitting down for hours is unhealthy, that stiffness results, and so forth. To some extent Ruburt believes it, and believes that the body must suffer if it sits for long periods, and so forth. The body is quite equipped on its own to remain flexible, and left alone will perform a variety of small motions while sitting, for example, to insure its flexibility. Ruburt believes now that it is wrong not to go out each day. Certainly I have suggested in the past that he go out, but in line with the circumstances at the time, and the condition to which his beliefs had led him.

While these suggestions may appear on the surface quite different from others I have given, if you look closely you will see that they are another method of encouraging spontaneity, and methods most suited now to his circumstances. In a weekly period, for example (rather than a daily one), these suggestions if followed will show him his own rhythms and patterns, so that he may feel like going out impulsively because he wants to, after a bout of writing, rather than feel that he “should.”

For Ruburt, spring and fall are periods when all of his energy rouses at a highly creative level, and insights are particularly valuable at such times. The period before an individual’s birth is enacted again symbolically, but in new ways, each year. The seeking toward birth is a spiritual stimuli that is then re-enacted, but in new creative ways: so that Ruburt in winter, particularly in late winter, is on the one hand working toward new births of energy and creativity; and on the other is aware of the very need for such new birth, that would be implied in a before-birth situation.

Your temperaments are different, yet in your way at a somewhat later area, you experience the same kind of phenomena in a yearly cycle. In winter, whatever attitudes Ruburt has are intensified, emphasized, worked with, but it is not a period conducive of change or fluidity.

There is much more, generally speaking, and one day I hope to give you much material for its overall benefit. Since infancy for example Ruburt’s hormonal output has always increased in spring and autumn, and all of the important affairs of his life are initiated then. There are periods of quietude, flux and change then, in each individual’s life, that are to some extent connected with the point of emergence into space and time. They are simply various kinds of patterned behavior, swirls of interactions as the soul meets space and time.

Give us a moment.... I am not speaking, you understand, of any kind of predetermination, but of temperamental tendencies used differently by each individual. In winter Ruburt bores in. It is even a type of hibernation, that could result in a restful period.
