“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your dream was an excellent rendition, for here you have men unaware of the mouse’s dilemma to such an extent that it was beside the point—so taken for granted that it became invisible. The purpose to eat was good—well-intentioned. But the means were not those that would benefit all involved, for the mouse died no quick death.

In your system of reality, the other creatures cannot help but act with good intent—even if their intent is to kill their prey. Because of many reasons given throughout the material, mankind took himself out of that context. Seemingly he gave up a certain identification with nature, and as a result he will finally come to appreciate it from an entirely different viewpoint.

Now give us a moment.... As to Ruburt: first of all, he is at another stage, and one in which motion should be gently—persistently but gently—encouraged. His purpose and his psychological progress have led him to further activations, and as I have said several times, this means that sometimes he will feel like walking, and will do so with a relative amount of balance, and on other occasions, perhaps 20 minutes earlier or later, his walking might be uncomfortable and “worse” in performance.

He has been used to putting his full weight on that right leg, so he is more aware of the sensations. He has a tendency then to favor it for a while. The left knee has also loosened, and the entire back of the left leg, the altered position of the right leg however means that the left leg is also uncomfortable when he walks. It tries to release further, but the unaccustomed new positions of the right ankle make him feel insecure.

He has been exercising because he wants to. Let him give himself the opportunity, as he has been, to walk twice a day, as far as he wants, or as briefly. Just so he allows the opportunity, for his own peace of mind, but do not force the body. You will not need to. Now he tries to walk when you are in the kitchen so as not to bother you, but there will be times when he will want to, and can simply call.

(“Are you saying that my dream had reincarnational connotations? I wondered about it when I wrote it down, but I didn’t say so.”)

You could have “meditated” upon it. You do not appreciate your own dream, or your appreciation of it is too remote—and yes, it does contain some reincarnational data, for it shows you a moment in a life when a decision was made, even though the emotional disgust that you felt at the time was separated from you—for the mouse at the time stood not only for itself but also for the victims of war, burned bodies you had seen while soldiers went about the remains to see what loot might be left.
