“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Notes: Today Jane called Tam about the continuing hassles over the disclaimer for Mass Events, and learned several important things—among them that the legal department is now “drafting” a letter to us, explaining their position in the matter. Discussed also were the memos the legal department has been sending to the board of directors at Prentice-Hall. Many of these have been derogatory; we now plan to ask Tam for the names of the individual board members, and we want to learn how to write to them to be sure they personally receive our messages. We would like to eventually tell our side of the story, and resent being treated like children in the interim. According to Tam, we’re not supposed to know anything about much of what he’s been telling us of the fuss over the disclaimer.

(10:00.) He is correct in thinking that these sensations begin about 20 minutes after he lies down, as a rule, as the muscles gradually begin to relax. They relax further than his usual chair position allows, begin to stretch, call for added circulation, which they receive. Joints become more lubricated. At the same time, from his standpoint this is a fairly sudden intensification of sensation. The relationship of knees and hips begins to change, requiring also greater activity from the spine and back areas, so that he feels at times pulled in several directions at once.

Add to this the fact that he is learning to trust his body (pause), but is still at times besieged by doubts, and his difficulty is explained. I must remind you both to emphasize, again, the flexibilities that are occurring, and that are for that matter sometimes apparent almost immediately after such episodes—for your trust builds as you allow yourselves to concentrate upon what is new evidence.

The same applies to Ruburt’s steps over there (to the couch from the chair). There is, in fact—though in a bent-over position—some considerable improvement and coordination in walking, as far as legs and arms are concerned. This does not show up yet when he is trying to walk in a taller position—but the improvement in the arm span will also help him there. The main thing, again, is that Ruburt’s personal trust in the body be reinforced by himself through such reminders, and by your own reassurance. A large amount of energy is involved. That energy means action, of course.

(10:17.) There are certain interior physical events that can happen within Ruburt’s body to help him move more naturally, but he cannot possibly consciously comprehend each change that must occur, and when viewed in that light the entire exercise seems so complicated as to be almost impossible. To the body, however, this is the kind of natural action it is always involved in, as it constantly rebuilds itself, maintains life, and it involves the body in work that it is indeed highly equipped to perform.
