“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He started off very well with the walking and exercises and you have helped him. You both hit a period when for the moment your work was done —a time of creative regeneration.

(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.

The sensations in the hips and the legs represent that urge toward motion. Energy wants to be distributed through motion down through the legs. Standing up will help, stamping the feet, or whatever. He should feel free anytime to walk, and if it is ten times a day, the both of you should be grateful—for he continues his progress. Before long he will begin to navigate somehow alone.

(It’s now Friday morning as I finish typing the session. Tam has been here and gone, leaving the copyedited Seven Two with Jane. My mouth feels somewhat better, although still tender and somewhat swollen in the lower jaw. I still feel quite tired at times, interspersed with bouts of energetic activity. We’re kicking ideas around.
