“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.

(10:11.)The Nature of Personal Reality is there for others to follow. Others, however, did not have a hand in producing it. They will try out the ideas, many of them, to the best of their ability, and learn and gain much, all the time hanging on safely to the banners of conventional beliefs—and Ruburt has allowed himself no such comforts. He should remember that many people have far greater hassles, not only with health but with personal relationships, finances and vocations, and without any satisfying accomplishments to offset their “misfortunes.”

Would the library return—a symbol of both of your fears that creativity might not go hand-in-hand with some kind of relative comfort. Those matters have been pretty well resolved. But to some extent they added to Ruburt’s muscular habits of tension. He has been far more active however than either of you realize, comparatively speaking. More important, he has been much more physically active (whispering) in his imagination. That has still to pay off in your terms.

(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.

Considering Ruburt’s challenges, he has done extremely well in all respects, but one area took the brunt as he cleared away the debris that literally surrounds the lives of most people.

(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.

Your physical circumstances, as per this house, would have seemed quite amazing to you only three years ago. Your beliefs and Ruburt’s have become so much freer that this is the result. You see an excellent example of a change in belief and resulting reality.

Soon money will no longer be a concern, period. It will be taken for granted. Now the same kind of acceleration can occur in Ruburt’s condition. This session will rid him of some debris, hanging over. I would like to give a few sessions for him to follow. I believe I have answered your questions. I suggest some version of class—a smaller one, beginning perhaps in June. That will give you time for the sessions I have in mind and to continue the process of acclimation.

The material Ruburt is getting from the library will help him with his health, for it will automatically put him in touch with a strand of consciousness devoted to such issues. In a way his book will continue our material from another viewpoint while you are preparing our book.
