“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:15.) Now you moved, again, to a new place. At first you encountered a concentration of old beliefs that had already unraveled, causing you to move, yet physically were left to tangle for a while. Was the new environment too rich for your blood? Were you outsiders? Would class be the obvious badge of your address?

It is difficult for you, Joseph, to realize the importance of such reassurance to him. The early tensions of moving in here, mentioned just above, and his worries about inspiration, are past; just. His imaginings, even of simple things—the bird baths, the feeders, the picnic table that implies outside experience—all of this will pay off.

(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.
