“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In your terms, early man felt his body to be a living, independent extension of the earth itself, and of the land. His head, to him, was like space or the sky. His feet were like moving roots. He believed that his feelings were like the world’s winds that swept through his body. To him, his spirit was inside his skin. Blood flowed through him with refreshing life, as water flowed through the rivers, refreshing the land. In your terms of course he had a heart and liver, but those terms are still arbitrary.

Such a knowledge as you suggest in actuality would not have added to his comprehension of his body, for he comprehended it very well. It would not have added to his health for example either, for he listened to his body so acutely that natural healings followed as he sought from nature what his body needed. Perhaps a more recent example would help. There have been articles (in the newspapers) about people dying of broken hearts after long periods of time, when hearts were simply regarded as mechanical pumps. No man’s knowledge will alone save him from heart failure, or heart difficulties, if such knowledge is not backed up by comprehensions of an entirely different order.

Early man, “stupidly” knowing nothing of the body’s organs, did not feel that particular kind of disorientation. Man has an inherent knowledge of his body. On some occasions specific knowledge of the various parts leads him to forget other issues, and leads to a mechanistic approach.

That archaeology is winding backward. The body is making excellent progress in an overall way. He goes through new stances quickly now. Even the smallest alteration of stance and muscular attitude affects the eyes. A child’s eye level is a tabletop. Ruburt got along well looking straight in front of him. The visual area is enlarging. The jaw pressures are constantly being minimized. This also requires changes in the eyes.

The entire posture required a tightening, however, of all muscles, including eye muscles. The body is letting down. You can, and you have, helped him by reminding him that this is safe, that the body’s protection and his own lies precisely in the body’s agility and quick response.

You have changed your own beliefs. This is reflected in your household, but you did not have Ruburt’s backlog, so to speak. Your table (pointing) is an excellent idea. The further changes in his position will take place far easier. Reinforce that idea of safety, and comfort him, as you have.

Noises outside the bedroom, of neighborhood activity, sometimes add to this, making him think he should be out in the world in a more gregarious, competitive manner, so he feels more isolated from other people and the community also at such times, as a result of the Darwinian concepts mentioned in our last session. If all of these issues click in one day, then his mood is more severe, but usually one or two operate.
