“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Certain less-than-perfect muscular habits had been set up, therefore, to maintain balance. These can now begin to fade as the newly activated muscles begin to take over.

(9:55.) Give us a moment.... There are various degrees of pressure in the body, supporting the organs, joints, and so forth. Any alterations are reflected in that inner pressure. The added circulation does indeed cushion muscles and joints, allowing for easy motion. What was undone in several hours this evening took a year and a half to set up. Of course, it was precisely points involving motion that were impaired. Ruburt has excellent knowledge of the body’s motor capacities on an unconscious level. The exterior motion is obviously the result of inner connections that are now being released in the proper way.

The release of a small “unknown” muscle, short and innocuous in the foot, might activate another in the shoulder in the precise order necessary, that will act as a stimulus, say, for a joint someplace else. Ruburt is aware of many of these sensations, so that he consciously will have some knowledge of how his own body works, and will be able from now on to have a greater conscious knowledge of its condition. He knows, now, as areas are released, and automatically keeps watch. He will understand how the body feelings serve as important informative data.

Now give us a moment.... At the risk of repeating myself, you live in a safe universe (loudly). At the risk of repeating myself you (to me) can no longer equivocate either (loudly). When you find yourself in a period of distress, it is because you do not trust your safety. You cannot live in a safe universe and an unsafe one at the same time. You have to make a complete choice.

If you choose a safe universe then you may indeed find some old habitual ideas, thoughts or beliefs, coming to haunt you. Those belonged to the unsafe universe, and made perfect sense there—and there they still do. When you change your affiliation and find yourself now and then encountering such feelings; and they are always one way or another feelings of insecurity—then admit to yourself that while they made sense in the unsafe universe, they do not belong in the safe one. Literally, such feelings make no sense in a safe universe. They are literally meaningless.

Now: when you anticipate problems from Prentice, you attract them. You do not know what would happen, pragmatically, if you did not imagine such difficulties, because in one way or another you have always anticipated them from the beginning. You had no such ideas of a safe universe then. There are people in any organization who are in the habit of sloppy work. There are also people in any organization who have fairly decent standards of excellence. But even the sloppy workers will indeed pick up your ideas of excellence, and try to translate them, finding even a new satisfaction in their work—but only if you think of what you want as a product, and not what you fear you will get instead.

Now: I have some suggestions for you that should be of considerable help.

You have each been in a period of transition. You cannot give grades to levels of growth. You are now bringing up to par certain conditions that lagged behind, while in other areas you went ahead. Now you are righting the inequalities, so to speak.

(Long pause at 11:05.) Very difficult to explain. In certain term ways, however, beside this, you and Ruburt have always been related. You have been aware of each other’s intents, feelings and purposes. Now, you can say that you were cut out of the same cloth (amused but intent). Your entire lives this time have been leading toward this new affiliation mentioned earlier.

You (me) even arranged it so that the kind of art you wanted to do could not be done in the accepted framework of artistic reference, but would necessitate such a growth of consciousness. You chose problems, each of you, challenges, that would lead to such a development. I will tell you now that that leap is assured—for had it not been assured in what seems to be your future, I would not have emerged in your past (whispering.

Now in one context those ideas are valid, but they are also deceiving—because your present focus will determine which reincarnational episodes you become aware of (intently). In that context, two lives in one century, overlapping, seem contradictory, but I tell you all along that you live many lives at once.
