“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:54.) Now Ruburt, because of his beliefs, “artificially” disciplined his muscles so that he would be forced to concentrate upon what it seemed you and he both thought was most important in life—your work.

He felt that for artistic, financial, and personal reasons this was necessary. It was necessary because he believed that the spontaneous self, left alone, would not so concentrate—or that his spontaneous self would not, but would also be tempted by whatever other private pursuits. That belief built up a body of habits so that even when he made headway in changing the basic belief at least, he was left with beliefs about the body that were secondary but habitual; beliefs shared by each of you about his body, so that the evidence was always present.

Those beliefs formed a body stance. That stance is being broken up. It resulted however in an operable but limited fashion with all of the muscles tightened and restricted to some degree, the original tension being applied to the head and neck area.

It also affects the release of the knees, which is occurring. At this time, the right side is particularly active from the head down, and one eye is therefore sometimes more active than the other, causing the image difficulties. His eyes rarely feel strained, however, or tired. They are enjoying the mobility. His overall balance, or feeling of balance, does constantly change, however, as the muscular pressure pressures, or tensions, do. There is no doubt that this can be disconcerting, as can the eyes’ motions under the conditions noted.

The entire balance and posture is in the process of the greatest beneficial alteration. He is allowing himself leeway now. He does need to hold on, walking, with all of these changes. It is highly important, however, that he does not project negatively, as the paranoid does (as described in the regular 812th session). You can be of great help there, particularly now. I suggested the use of suggestion through the framework of hypnosis simply because such techniques can be like mental vitamin pills. They provide for the insertion of the required and desired beliefs for use when needed.

Ruburt’s balance has completely changed in a week, so that his weight can now fall on his heels. He gets up easier, as well as sitting down easier—something he neglected to mention; nor did you observe this.
