“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such a consideration, however, immediately shakes old beliefs and fears in a kind of clamor. Some old beliefs would rise to the forefront of attention that until now have remained generally in the background. Ideas of virtue, spareness and artistic single attentiveness as opposed to the idea of extravagance, the scattering of energies, or pleasure as a tempting disruptive force; all such beliefs are suddenly shaken up in a new bag, so to speak, so that you can distinguish between them with some new understanding.

(Long pause.) Animals massage each other, and also use touch healing, and these activities represent the natural characteristics available in the “animal family,” as well as occurring naturally in the family of man. Animals playing are always exchanging healing transformations of energy from one to the other. Your own feelings connecting your hands, therefore, are quite pertinent and significant. Some people are more aware than others of such connections. They have been frowned upon in your society, however, so they are most often repressed.

(Pause at 9:15.) It is quite healthy, particularly at certain stages, for young children to sleep together in the same room or even in the same bed, as long as some opportunity for seclusion is provided to them when they want it—for at night the ancient families did indeed refresh and heal themselves. You can consciously retrain yourself to use the ability more freely and directly, and in many instances one individual can help heal another easier than the person can himself. That is, the suffering person, to whatever degree, already mistrusts or distrusts the nature of his own abilities, but usually can and will accept such a loving attention from another family member, or even from a friend. I meant to mention these points in particular.

There are many different ways that people use such energy. Ruburt received another letter today (which I have yet to read), from someone experimenting with the kundalini version of energy, in which the final results were poor, leading to a fear of energy itself. It is highly important then that you realize the vitality and natural right to such energy, as it is available not only to yourself but to the plant and animal kingdoms themselves. Since your bodies constantly heal themselves, and since all nature is basically cooperative, so the exchange of such healing energy is freely effortless.
