“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I want briefly to explain a few more reasons why I suggested a change of program. There is nothing wrong with asking “Are you afraid of thus and so?” of the pendulum, for example—particularly when specific events are involved, and where action is possible. For example “Am I afraid of the implications in this letter?” and then, according to the reply and circumstances, Ruburt answers the correspondent in a particular fashion, states his feelings, or does not answer at all.

Sunday was somewhat of an example of the advantageous way to handle things. He felt the impulse to do the floors with your sweeper (while I was mowing grass) and because of our Saturday session he ignored the arm difficulty enough to do the kitchen. That stimulus naturally led him to do the bathroom, and to plan to do the bedroom. For that time, he enjoyed the activity. Several times he felt like walking, and he walked for brief periods three or four times. Sunday is not considered a “workday,” however, so it was easier for him to follow through on those impulses. But the body was overall stimulated, enjoyed the activity, and felt accomplishment. His mind was refreshed. He felt somewhat physically competent.

Ruburt’s body can perform better. There are no impediments to prevent it. His arms can comfortably release themselves, and his trunk, and in perfect rhythm with his legs, knees, and feet. These ideas, accepted, work automatically, though some time in Framework 1 would be involved necessarily; but the releasing ease and the gradual overall improvement would be quite perceivable.

Ruburt’s feelings about his nap: he finally remembered what I told him some time ago—to relax is to let go. Relaxation makes action possible. It is not lax, does not mean laziness. Relaxation allows the body to rest securely in the source of its being, and refreshes the mind and spirit as well.
