“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I told him (emphatically) that the hot towels on the knees would help his eyes considerably, and his head. I repeat the statement. The body is quickening. The eyes are acclimating themselves. The main tension points however involved the ligaments of the neck, affecting the eyes, and while those ligaments stayed more or less rigid, the eyes got used to doing their work in a restricted area. When he wanted to look up or down or around, he would move the entire head, neck, shoulder area, rather than, for example, rotating the eyes.

It is almost impossible to explain the intricate relationship between, say, the positions he adopts and their effects upon other portions of the body. The releases involved that you both noticed the other evening when he straightened up to some degree, are most complicated and significant.

His body has become more dependable walking, as he knows. The most important thing at this point is for him to keep in as good spirits as possible—not by being Pollyannaish, but by recognizing the reality of his improvements, and by not overstressing those areas in which improvements have not yet appeared. Distractions are good, but you must use them. Ruburt learned, last evening, to use them when you had company.

The body does not begin to show such improvement with the intent not to continue. All of my suggestions should be followed—those apply to Ruburt and you. When Ruburt feels good by his standards, that is, in a good mood, relatively at peace, and in some kind of bodily ease, taking his situation into consideration, he should note that. I will help keep him from concentrating on the times when he does not feel that good. He should make an effort to forget his condition as much as possible, and so should you. This does not mean that you are ignoring reality. You are instead trying an excellent method that will help you change it.

His body is becoming more responsive, and there is no reason why the improvements cannot smoothly accelerate. An attempt to creatively divert his thoughts will help, so he gives his body time to escape his notice.
