“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The body is full of sensation. The most pleasurable of bodily sensations prolonged overmuch, or concentrated upon unduly, can appear quite painful. In your latest attempts to remedy the situation, and in your determination to do so, you have ended up concentrating upon the problem, putting it foremost in your minds, searching for the reasons, and giving yourselves no rest.

Ruburt usually has a variety of bodily sensations, often simultaneously: some pleasant and relaxing, while others may be unpleasant. Again, with the best of intentions, the focus of your pendulum sessions has not been of the best lately. And you yourselves felt swamped by so much material. I am aware that often neither of you thinks Ruburt is improving one whit—and of course that is part of the difficulty. It is not the other way around, however it appears to you. Ideally, Ruburt could completely recover with no discomfort. Practically, he is indeed experiencing more discomfort than he needs to.

That is because of the concentration upon the problem, the concentration upon the unpleasant sensations, rather than any pleasant ones, and also because you have indeed determined to settle the problem, and opened up so many issues at once.

Last week Ruburt’s legs again were more or less of equal length. The left leg has straightened further, so now the right side is newly stimulated to stretch some more. Ruburt feels that stretch. The sensation itself is a strange one—quite active rather than passive.
