“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Last Thursday afternoon as I lay down for my customary nap before supper, I had an experience that was new for me: I’ve been meaning to write it up, so this place will serve as a record. As Jane and I have decided to do lately, I began giving myself suggestions about increased sales of her books. I was very comfortably ensconced on our couch. As I gave the suggestions I abruptly realized that they seemed to be penetrating—what?—some sort of barrier or limit that I’d usually assumed marked the limits of ordinary conscious awareness. Rooms ordinarily alien or unknown to me seemed to open up, although in a very concentrated focus, as say from the beam of a flashlight. But I knew that the suggestions had penetrated as never before, and I thought they had reached their goal in Framework 2 in a way that I could be aware of. The sensation was brief but unmistakable, and very enjoyable. It happened again a few moments later. Then I fell asleep.

Now, give us a moment.... Let me try again to explain a few points, mainly concerning Ruburt’s condition.

Give us a moment.... (Long pause.) To some extent this has allowed the eyes to read now and then without glasses. The alterations in Ruburt’s knees, however, send various messages to the brain, for as he walks, due to the present activity, his position is not constant. He is not always so many feet, for example, from the floor. As the ligaments and muscles in the legs activate, they are learning to work together under entirely different conditions.

Give us a moment.... If his knees could see, they would also be disoriented. (A great line.) The fear of the situation does not help, of course, for any such tension holds back the relaxing process—and the eyes are relaxing, and the neck and tendons, for example, letting go. Often at times when his vision is disorienting, that activity however also results in the better focus in reading that is coming about. Usually it is changes in focus that are involved. He will be reading fairly well, then perhaps look up at the television set, following motion of the screen, and then it will take time again—a few moments, perhaps before he reads well again. Or he will be reading well and look up, eyes roaming about the room, and then become disoriented visually.

You are beginning to awaken your faith, but still afraid to believe. Ruburt has had some excellent moments of such faith, however, and those moments add up. It is highly important that you continue thinking creatively in terms of his condition, of not being afraid to believe that he can indeed walk normally.

(Very intensely:) the inspiration for a book can come in a moment, though for months nothing may appear. So Ruburt’s condition may show no physical improvements of the kind you are looking for—may not—while suddenly the work that has been done unconsciously during that period can suddenly emerge, seemingly from nowhere, as a spectacular improvement. If you do not have faith in the meantime, however, you hamper that kind of development.
