“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(11:33. Half humorously:) Before my comments for Ruburt: I thought that my risqué remark about “no holds barred” was quite in keeping with the content of the material, (on human sexuality). It is difficult to be prissy when discussing such a topic—but if you feel that others might be offended, do as you wish.

He thought he should write, and he wanted to. The impulse was strong. His bodily impulse to move and to go to the bathroom was even stronger. He decided to do that, but felt guilty. He then swept the kitchen, because the body wanted the motion, and so did he.

Lunch, and he took his shower—something else he had put off doing. Before that, however, he purposefully decided to exercise—hence the stairway. Two issues were involved. He punished himself for not writing by making the performance very difficult. On the other hand, certain ligaments had been released in the right leg. They were beginning to come into greater activity, but the leg was not ready to bear the full weight he had to put upon it for the top stair.

To some extent he knew this, but felt defiant enough to try it anyway. He had not written. He felt the impulse to paint, and did so, but by late afternoon he was in a very poor mood. He had the sense to write his notes, however, so the issue was not buried. It was a creative conflict.

(Pause at 11:58.) He did well at the dentist’s. Your attitude was of help. You were supportive. You will have to face together certain important issues when he feels well enough so that he actively wants to go in stores. I will give you both advice then. Recommendations: one half-hour a day, at any time, should be allowed specifically for clear physical activity, where that impulse is encouraged, and where there is no conflict. That is, he is not to be writing then or anything else. This can be for now anything—vacuuming, walking inside or out—whatever. It is a minimum period. He need not try to do more. In fact, he should not, for I want him to have a simple feeling of achievement. Give himself, for now, three hours a day for writing, or for thinking about writing—daydreaming, but no brooding.
