“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Beside this, he received a letter in the mail, reporting the worst kind of nonsense, saying that the correspondent and his wife had heard that I was holding back “Unknown” 2, because the information could not be handled by the populace.

When you and Ruburt begin such a program as the pendulum, for example, it is valuable because of your joint initiation of it, and it served several excellent purposes. The best was probably the opening of fluent communication between the two of you, and Ruburt’s understanding that you would go full steam ahead to help him recover—his understanding that you did indeed want him to recover. That was highly important.

The next two days his hips were going through considerable changes and it hurt him, so he did not walk nearly as much, and you both became frightened—Ruburt more than you. Following this he instantly decided that he must walk considerably more—at least 3 or 4 times around the circle—and at the last count, once an hour whether or not he felt like it, and particularly when he did not feel like it.

So for now I simply suggest that Ruburt walk gently three or four times a day to whatever degree seems natural at the time. Otherwise, my position is this —and here I repeat—because overall changes in position and balance are necessitated in order for normal walking to occur, one portion of the body at this point is not going to right itself so that, for example, Ruburt’s arms are suddenly straight while his knees are bent. All portions of the body are stretching. The arms are longer. The legs have straightened. The knees are looser. The neck areas are releasing—but at any given day or period, right now, one or several areas might well be stiff or uncomfortable.

Now: instead of dealing with large issues, Ruburt is to write at least a page about his feelings that day, with particular emphasis upon any issues that bother him at all. Over a period of several weeks, for example, he will have dealt with specific incidents and his reactions.

Ruburt’s writing down his feelings will assure that not only nothing goes underground, but will take care of current issues as they happen.

Give us a moment.... Writing things down is excellent for Ruburt in particular, and so again on those days when no specifics events occur, to be included in his notes, then I want him to write down his feelings about 1: inspiration, 2: work, 3: “Unknown” Reality, 4: Psyche, 5: Emir.

It is most likely, however, that those subjects will come up, you see, in any case in his daily writing down of feelings. The writing down allows for the immediate release and expression of feeling that becomes impossible with so many pendulum questions. The pendulum can also be used quite effectively, for only a few moments, but habitually, before bed—the two of you together—with Ruburt suggesting that he will rest comfortably and awaken refreshed in the morning, that he will have a therapeutic sleep.

Give us a moment.... I am aware of the fact, of course, that you both want Ruburt to walk more and better—but you must also not judge his body’s walking by usual standards. Allow it a sense of accomplishment as it progresses. It does know when it is ready to try out new positions, when it needs rest—and while I see your concern, do allow it to express some variety there.
