“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Because he has not built up the good trust of his body, however, any new discomfort, regardless of origin, alarms him—an alarm that causes him to tense his muscles, withhold his weight, become hesitant—actions that of course themselves bring about stress, and prolong what should be a fairly minor adjustment. It is true that a fine, exuberant leap of belief would make even those adjustments unnecessary, and at times Ruburt almost approaches such points. Remember, he did not have your background of physical trust in the body. Whenever you can, again, honestly comment upon an improvement, now upon his appearance, or on a physical accomplishment, do so, for he needs the reinforcement there.

He obtained a good sense of physical accomplishment this weekend, in the face of quite negative attitudes that he managed to encounter and deal with well. There is no reason why he cannot build up further accomplishments of the same kind. He knows when he has poor habits in that regard, but have him work with one, say, just one a week, rather than take on several at a time.

I gave you the same material when we discussed Framework 2, so Ruburt must begin to minimize impediments in his mind. In a way, singling out particular attitudes or habits can at times be helpful, for it gives him particular issues to deal with. He can begin to change the focus from which he usually views his reality, in whatever way possible, and in the point of power as I suggested.
