“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(3:00. Jane started reading yesterday’s session, but didn’t do very well. She made many mistakes, and I helped her out at times. She was able to grasp the edge of the paper with her left hand, though—something she hasn’t been able to do before. Another good sign, I told her. The strength in her hands has been increasing.

For now only, let him put aside images of himself walking. Instead, have him imagine comments by others, such as you or a doctor or a friend, expressing their delight and amazement because Ruburt is walking (softly). That is, have him put the stress on the comments momentarily, forgetting his body entirely. Have him imagine your face, or someone else’s smiling and enthusiastic, saying. “I knew you could do it all along,” or, “I don’t know how you did it, but you did.”

After he has done these exercises, then he can begin again seeing his body walking or sitting, or whatever. As I have said often, you live without knowing how you live. It is almost as if your living is done for you. You breathe whether or not you understand how breathing happens—so remind Ruburt that he must get to the point where he realizes that walking is as easy as writing a book, or thinking a thought, or having a session. (Long pause.) We want to emphasize the sense of ease and playfulness. Now I may or may not return, but I am, again, of course, present and approachable.

It is not so much that he has been worrying—but at times he does think of the impediments that stand seemingly in his way. And I am hoping that the exercises I have just suggested will take care of the situation.
