“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt’s work with the contents of the mind, for example, is barely started, and I will include his exercises in my book (amused)—while giving him full credit, of course. Such expansion reacquaints the known self with the great energy that supports it, therefore bringing an individual to a point of understanding in which the concept of a safe universe makes sense. The idea of a personal universe will be emphasized.

His progress is excellent, for each release signifies in ways literally impossible to explain the disappearance of a small or large “negative” belief. The body does not just randomly mirror beliefs, but literally and quite systematically brings them into flesh. A wrist is not held frozen because of one belief only, but because of a belief that is composed of many small components. This evening some important key components dissolved. As a result certain key joints began to release.

When man objectified energy he became frightened of it. You think of nuclear destruction as energy uncontrolled, rampant. That exteriorized concept is a symbol for man’s fear of his own inner energy. The nuclear reality is instead a practical example of what can happen when the elements of the intellect do not understand their secure basis in nature, but see themselves as apart from it —alienated. Then the misunderstood intellect and the misunderstanding intellect rails out against nature in envy, trying to destroy a unity in which it feels it has no part.

Our books will always attempt to put the individual in his or her “proper” position within nature, sharing its energy.

As Ruburt’s physical condition changes, this “merely” signifies a turnabout in his entire handling of himself as psyche and self form a new alliance.

The pendulum is important, again. You are his confidant, lover, partner and mate, so your support and approval is paramount. You also need the reinforcement yourself of the safe universe concepts.

It seems to Ruburt that he has not been working on his book, but of course he has—Politics and other books as well.

The soreness in his legs sometimes at night should be easily understood, for work can be done then when he is not on his feet. There are numberless small tendons being released, joints and nerves being reactivated. His arms have been sore at night but he did not worry, and the results are easily showing. As he said many times, he does not walk on his arms. He is balancing on his legs and feet, however. Key parts have been released in the knees, feet and ankles, but again these improvements trigger other improvements, while they remain operationally invisible for a while so that balance is maintained.

To whatever extent, each of you in your way grew up in the belief system of your times. Ruburt is doing a complete turnabout. After years of relating to his body in one way, he is changing that relationship. You have been taught to follow certain rules. These said that you ate at certain times, slept at certain times, followed certain patterns because these were important. You were not taught to stress individual inclinations or leanings or characteristics, but to view any deviations as alarming. It seems highly impractical in that system of belief to tell an individual that he or she knows the best patterns of behavior to follow, to suggest that each person knows how much sleep he or she needs, or that left alone you will pick a correct diet—a diet geared to you. Instead it seems that there must be an overall diet suited for human beings in general, or a sleep pattern best for the race at large.

Ruburt may waken in the night, feeling fairly alert, physically rested, yet his programming says that you should sleep. It seems morally wrong—not so much to work at night as to sleep till noon (as Jane did today; although she hadn’t worked last night). If natural rhythms were followed the greatest amounts of physical work would be produced to the greatest benefit for society at large. Even biological testing shows a false picture, for to a far greater degree than realized your biological activity follows your beliefs.

Ruburt can quicken his recovery by trusting in it implicitly.

(After the session Jane said she could feel a burst of extra energy from Seth. She could have translated it into his very powerful voice, but didn’t.
