“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I had another question for Seth: What should Jane do about her walking on days when she doesn’t feel like doing so—as today? I’d told her to forget it, to trust that her body would know when it wanted to walk. She’s concerned, however, lest she find herself giving up on walking, at least to a greater degree than she now walks.)

Now the universe is well-intended.

(9:44.) He will learn to be consciously well-intentioned. Again, simple enough. He will consciously seek his own good – not at the expense of others, for he will realize that he cannot achieve any good in that manner. You cannot kill a chicken, personally now, and eat it comfortably. You certainly cannot kill a cow by yourselves. Indirectly, however, you know that the slaughterhouses are cruel—that animals are not killed quickly or cleanly, and to some extent the psychic disquiet of those animals is consumed with their meat. Animals killed quickly and cleanly make better food.

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.

They are getting used to his weight, now, hence the feeling of soreness. He also experiences feelings of release in those same areas when sitting, however. He should not forget that.

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.

The gentle encouragement and the gentle stretching of the legs in his chair is excellent. They will gradually loosen and take his weight. And now after this weighty session I bid you a fond good evening—with the point that the eyes should show more improvement now as the neck ligaments are loosening.

One small note that occurred to me: for whatever reasons—I will not discuss them now—Ruburt did not feel particularly that you needed or wanted his physical help in matters that you could perform more efficiently by yourself. To the contrary, he felt that he got in your way, got under foot, and that you preferred to do without such “help.”
