“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At the same time, her responses are at times very uncomfortable as the body begins readjusting various portions of itself, like long-unused mechanisms that need prompting and lubrication to start working more smoothly. Today, for example, her left side, leg and knee were all moving in unaccustomed, more flexible ways, she reported, thus affecting her walking. At times such changes make it very difficult for her to get around, yet they are obviously signs of change for the better.

(We’ve also talked over Seth’s answer in the last session about why the subconscious doesn’t back off when it’s obvious that it’s gone too far in a protective role, say. I said that I understood his answer to my question all right, but yet that I felt there were still things there to be discussed; that in individual cases, for instance, the subconscious could go too far when there was no need to, and that in such cases it seemed to ignore the wishes and desires of the conscious personality involved. I felt, then, that there should be a more intimate give-and-take between all portions of a personality. Since in numerous cases throughout the species’ history, I added, this hadn’t happened, I thought there could be important insights there that we might learn from Seth. But primarily, my original question had to do with Jane’s own case, and at this time that was the one we were still interested in gaining insight into.)

One flower may die before another. One may be blemished and the other not, but none are the less flowers for that. Ruburt was convinced he needed certain protections. His judgments, and yours to a lesser extent, can be regarded as the flower’s blemishes, though I am aware it is not easy for you to see this in that light.

It is imperative, however, that you make an effort not to think in terms of “the symptoms” any longer, but instead to think of ways that Ruburt can condition his body, realizing that he need not be at the mercy of old fears.
