“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt is beginning from his own position, and he is seeking the normal, free motion of his body. All of the equipment is there, and there are no disease elements. The body has not been used, however, in a normal manner. As mentioned, when bodybuilders build up certain muscles, they do indeed experience great distress at times. They understand the reason for the discomfort, for they are building muscle—but in their cases they often overdo it. Nevertheless there are others with whom they can share their discomfort.

In between excellent health and death through disease, in between wealth and perhaps gluttony, and poverty and starvation, in between a glittering social existence, the comfort of a family, and the utter loneliness of isolation, there are literally infinite variations and gradations of behavior, according to individual differences and prerogatives. Most of this refers to your question, and is by way of giving you a fuller explanation.

(10:22.) I simply want to stress that health in those terms does involve more. The “subconscious” will try to save an individual from great disappointment. This may mean the incidence of a disease, but the disease may save a person’s sanity. So the issues are not nearly as clear as it would at first seem.
