“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:05.) Give us a moment.... I am not going into Ruburt’s condition to any great degree, but I do have some information. Obviously he is in the middle of a learning adventure, trying to do far more with his ordinary consciousness than most people, and trying to solve his problems and encounter his challenges without relying upon old structures of belief—healthwise not relying upon doctors or dentists. He has done this even though he has been working in relatively untried areas, where there seem to be few certainties.

(10:23.) I make recommendations now and then, and now and then you see fit to follow them. I no longer need to tell Ruburt to go out each day. He wants to—a change far more important then you realize. He needs, again, however, the assurance that he can do far better physically.

Your idea of the second house frightened him, implying isolation. When that time comes there will be different implications, of secrecy, which is mysterious to him, and therefore exciting. The recommendation I mentioned and did not give you is this: begin to consider going out, perhaps to the Steak House, or some such. Do not make a big production out of it. Obviously, do not expect Ruburt to instantly kick up his heels, either. It is important however that you begin to think of such amusement. It will pay far greater dividends than you imagine.

(10:15.) He is correct: Frank should invite the muscles to move, assure them that they can through gentle manipulation. Otherwise they rebel—not against motion, but against the exterior commands that do not come from within. Ruburt wants his legs to move better. He does not want them to hurt when they move more.

(Long pause.) The best thing Frank has done so far was say “Your back feels youthful,” and at another time “Her hips pivot like a dancer’s.” That is far more effective than physical stretching. The same kind of suggestion applied to the legs with gentle manipulation, and to the arms, would be very effective. Ruburt’s muscles can move easier, now. They do not have to feel worse, first. His back does not have to bother him in the meantime, as was suggested. He does not have to bend over more at certain stages to maintain balance, as has been suggested, and he has followed those suggestions except for the back. He has bent over, in other words. Those are beliefs Frank has about the body and its progress.
