“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment.... In historical times as you think of them, pre-industrial man had no need of those particular devices. He dealt with reality differently. It is not necessary to say his way was better, but it was vastly different. Some of this is most difficult to explain in any terms that will make sense, because the entire belief system of your times bears physical evidence of course, that such inoculations work.

I will not quibble with either of you, and I am not by any means justifying any of Ruburt’s methods, in the unfortunate restraint he has placed upon his body. I would like to make one remark: you do have many lives. Each person knows this on an unconscious basis. Some know it consciously. Any decisions made are made with that in mind.

(10:59.) Ruburt’s body is also a method of communication. It is communication. I want him to give another suggestion for a Turkish reincarnational dream, and I want him to suggest that he see his life in context with others that are equally his own—for from them he can draw greater understanding, energy, and the knowledge that physical vitality, and mental and psychic vitality, go quite well hand in hand. Both last sentences are important.

When he made his earlier choices, leading to his difficulty, he did so in a smaller context, and when he considers his condition, he still does so in the light of one life alone, therefore depriving himself of other knowledge, quite personal, that is available. You will note, if you keep track, that your high and low periods largely correspond, as this afternoon, and the period on Sunday.

I am saying all of this gently. Ruburt became overly concerned, trying too hard. You both let Framework 2 slide in your thoughts—generally speaking. Faith went out the window. If you both read your statements in the morning, and you and Ruburt read his together, that will help you program the day. You can each remind the other when you feel low, at least to read those statements, for the work is easily done there, in Framework 2.

You speed up the process of recovery by relaxing and trusting it. He tried to speed it up by negatively projecting present problems into the future, hoping to scare himself enough so that he would recover more quickly. The main methods, again, for him—one: read the statements in the morning, and when needed otherwise. Two: Ruburt should think of ideas and his writing in those hours devoted to it. He should allow himself creative freedom then. Three: he should remind himself that his desire and intent are impressing Framework 2, and that as much as possible he should relax his efforts here.

It is no tragedy, it is of no matter if on a particular day he thinks from the feeling of his legs he does not want to go out. There are periods of stability, as he knows, when he forgets the issue, and other periods when one leg is “working” more than the other.

Your own difficulties after shoveling become exaggerated because you also make a division between what you think of as your own mental life as opposed to the world’s physical orientation, as if in some way mental life makes you unfit for physical activity. The emphasis upon exercise is vastly overrated. And the most expert athlete can die in his tracks. The body is a mental expression, yet thoughts are physically expressed. There is no physical tremor that is not first a mental one.
