“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The material on the book just given is pertinent: you live in a safe universe. When you understand this then your actions are truly appropriate.

In Ruburt’s case there was a build-up of tension. His response was to hide. The better known he became the greater the belief that he must protect himself, and the greater his feeling of unsafety, for now he became known in a world in which it was only safe to hide. This applied to you also, though to a lesser degree.

You have nothing to fear in terms of physical illness. You did feel that it was not safe to be an artist in your world. The last session, mentioning your joint ideas of time, is highly important. For each of you.

When he is proficient with the bathroom routine, which you were very wise to begin, we will start some other simple new routines, one at a time, instilling appropriate body reaction to a safe universe. Ruburt’s actions were appropriate for the horror program, and so were some of yours when you were afraid of painting because it did not bring in money. Our books bring in money, simply because money at your level of activity is a natural result of spontaneous creativity. Your paintings will bring in money when they are the result of spontaneous creativity. Ruburt’s spontaneity escaped all of his “language,” in other words. His physical mobility will result from the body’s spontaneous creativity. He is not to walk normally because he should, any more than he should write “because he should.” He is a writing kind of being, and he is a walking kind of being.

Dramas are built around hypotheses or scenes, and these scenes in physical life determine your experience. When you realize you dwell in a safe universe, such defenses are unnecessary—and later perhaps you will see that they are as comical as a child is who screams in terror at a bogeyman. If there were a bogeyman the child’s screaming would not bother it a bit. You can expect—if you continue as you are—far greater mobility in Ruburt’s neck, head and shoulders, clearing of the ears completely, greater relaxation of the entire face and throat area in rather quick progression.
