“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This is not only a valid psychic truth, but is the basis for cellular integrity. Perhaps nowhere else is the basic cooperative nature of reality more apparent than at microscopic levels. There, a physical basis for life as you know it is built up through a creative—I am not sure of the word I want: symbosis—

symbiosis—in which the survival and health of each microscopic entity is dependent upon its own identity and its relationship with others. The needs of any microscopic entity are its own. It is propelled to fulfill them. Yet those needs, fulfilled, with seeming selfishness, are precisely those that are required by other entities as well. Nor does such an entity hold its own needs isolated, but “considered” them as a part of a cooperative venture.

Ruburt said somewhere “Sometimes you lean into the universe, and feel it give.” It is indeed yielding. It is not against you, nor is the world. Some centuries ago, to develop your particular kind of consciousness, the race separated nature from the self for operating purposes. Mankind “competed” against nature, which was to be conquered, so the universe seemed to be a threatening place. In the same way, society seemed no longer to be a group of cooperative individuals, of creatures gathered together; but it became an alien, outside force, threatening the individual as much as it supported him.

(Intently:) That reality exists, but it is not yours any longer. It is not one of your favorite stations. You are, therefore, tuning into another channel, experiencing a reality that is not only quite as real, but presents a far truer picture. It is as if you were standing on a hilltop, surrounded by clear brilliant air. You could still look down at the foggy valley below, and see that it existed. You would also realize that you were not down there anymore.

The exterior improvements are the result of inner body workings, and they represent the growth of his inner confidence. You have been of great help, as you also learn to adjust. There will be some definite, beneficial changes in walking—but a gradual change so that no strain is put upon one part of the body or another. You cannot equivocate. Body consciousness itself is awakening, and this will add to his own perception. The body is flexibility and health is a natural result of alterations of consciousness—a change of focus that literally brings about new experience.

Joints are being lubricated, but first areas about them had to be released, the body cooperating now in this venture to produce flexibility, as before it cooperated to cut down motion.
