“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You might add very briefly to that material, one or two suggestions following what you have—that stress expression: “Do I feel safe to express physical vitality?” Or questions as to whether or not Ruburt and his “subconscious” feel safe enough to progress, generally speaking, into an area of psychic, creative, and physical expression.

That rhythm includes some very gradual changes in important areas, so that other portions are not restrained. It also includes accelerations of releases as the time is ripe. Ruburt should not be overly concerned at his locomotion, walking, in any given day. For one thing, his overall increased activity chairwise provides an overall general increase of strength and flexibility. Even when he brings the chair into the bathroom, he must for example get up and down. More, however, on some days he will feel actively like walking, and then he should do so, and even in a day when he does have difficulty, there will almost certainly be some periods when he will feel the same urge. The important thing is not to worry, and also Ruburt’s condition now is such that the body seeks more and more activity.

He received excellent ideas the other night, for Seven, after painting all day. Desire is important. At times now he will feel conflicts, because he wants to do several things at once. But a month or so ago he did not feel those desires.

I want to reassure Ruburt in this period that significant areas of recovery are now indeed being accomplished, and he can indeed proceed to normal locomotion if you continue as you are doing.

(10:29 PM. For the record: Tuesday last, Alan Neuman called Jane to tell her that he had decided to make a movie of Seven himself, instead of trying to interest others in doing so. Presumably this means he will try to arrange financing, etc. He told Jane a lot of technical and legal details she didn’t very well understand, but he is certainly sincere, she thinks, about Seven. He told Jane that he would have some news for her “within a month”—which would be fast service indeed. He stressed that he wanted Jane to have good legal protection, and a say in quality control. Jane told him in her subsequent letter that we are relying upon Prentice-Hall and John Nelson to tell us what to do about legal advice when the time comes, if it does.

(I think Seth commented on Volume 2 of “Unknown” because of all the returns Volume 1 is getting these recent weeks, after initially selling very well. I have no ideas at all about doing a book of my own.)
