“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.

One point: I wanted to stress that when muscles are reactivated, to Ruburt they “feel sore.” The muscles’ experience is quite different. They experience sensation to a heightened degree, where before their sense of life was not that active.

The sensations activate other ligaments, muscles, and so forth. They signal activity. After disuse the sensations are exaggerated. Most people are not aware of them, for example. In the past, and with beliefs not understood, Ruburt would become depressed, or you would, so it is important that that activation be understood.

That understanding will prevent anxiety from cutting short progress. Since various groups of muscles and ligaments come into motion in their own order, the soreness will come and go, or appear in one place and then another. If he recognizes this, he will get to know when slight activity of the parts will help, or when resting them will.
