“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The dietary methods given in the book Ruburt read have indeed worked for many, and for the following reasons: as you suspected, a kind of conversion was attained. The people involved first of all had been told by doctors—medical doctors—that they themselves had no control over their own disease, that the symptoms could be lessened somewhat—perhaps—but that there was no hope for recovery.

(4:28.) Now give us a moment.... Your diets are adequate. You could stand more green vegetables. Fresh potatoes are good. You do fairly well, however, with a moderate diet. Ruburt does not take to citrus fruits. That is simply characteristic of his body.

(To me:) You needed some rest, but you do not really approve of it, the idea of playful free time seems to you somehow unvirtuous. At certain levels—not all—you resented Eleanor’s visit, and Tam’s, because you wanted so to begin new projects. You felt that Ruburt was coming along well. And you did not want anything to upset the apple cart. This simply fills out your pendulum material.

Now Ruburt is doing well. The sudden easy improvements you noted, however, as with the speed (in walking), came when he allowed himself some playful rest, and when he kept his spirits up. The point of power daily was of much benefit. These improvements will continue. He has determined not to backtrack, for example; but both of you must remember that creativity is playful—that is, that you must not try too hard, that you mentally look the other way now and then, and not watch the pot boil all of the time.

Let Ruburt write something—anything—as a creative playful exercise daily, without caring whether or not it will develop into a book.

Healthy bodies do not need 8 hours sleep, and after 6-and-a-half hours many become quite restless. In Ruburt’s condition this tendency is exaggerated.
