“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This evening, tissues and muscles were literally being rejuvenated. Ruburt was involved in a process when he initiated the symptoms, in which certain highly specific areas were directly affected, and their function impaired. Others areas then had to react by setting up their own systems, sometimes of counter-tension.

The rest of the body, however, had to work around these difficulties. Certain alternate muscular cooperations were set up that served to keep overall muscular functions going, and kept the body walking under impaired conditions. A certain network of “small dams” were set up by the symptoms. These held back full circulation to the specific tissues.

All of this incidentally involves the same amazing discrimination that is used in the organization of any physical symptoms, so that specific purposes are met.

Ruburt’s symptoms made sense in an unsafe universe. He needed protection, he felt. Your feelings about Prentice made sense in an unsafe universe, where you had to protect the excellence of your vision from incompetence. You can make that leap into the safe universe—just as Ruburt is. The leaping is a process of growth, so in your terms give yourself time, but do not equivocate.

Your own annoying physical symptoms have been caused largely because of the matters just mentioned—either worry over “Unknown” Reality, or painting, or Ruburt. Beneath it all, however, is the insecurity resulting from passé beliefs in the unsafeness of the universe.
