“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(When I got to 330 this afternoon Jane pointed out to me that she wore no dressing on her right elbow or the little toes of her left foot. I must admit I hadn’t noticed as I got her ready for lunch. But the skin of her elbow looked much improved, much more normal. This is the result of the changes I’d begun to notice when this group of sessions started on October 9—less than a month ago. Remarkable, I told her, and I sincerely hope it’s a sign of many more good things to come.

(Jane said her foot and ankle are sore, and bothered her during the night—the right one, that is—but that it feels okay at the moment. I thought it was from its recent moving, after such a long period of inactivity. The left foot and leg are okay.

(3:00. Jane began reading yesterday’s session. It wasn’t easy for her, but she kept at it as I worked on mail, and she finished at 3:20. She’d eaten a good lunch, once more. She said that her right foot kept wanting “to push out” from its doubled up position. “But I can’t do it yet,” she said, “so I’ll try to forget about it.”

Two small bedsores have healed—another mark of progress. There is no need to be concerned about the occasional discomfort in the right foot and leg. Those areas are awakening, and the new unaccustomed motions are the cause of the discomfort—a discomfort which will vanish in no time as the body continues its improvements. All of the body is being activated—and again, improvements are occurring also that have not yet showed themselves but will soon be doing so.

(I’d instantly understood the import of what she was saying—that here her body had within itself all the time that fantastic ability to move. So why wasn’t she moving? I couldn’t help but be bothered greatly by this, and tried to shake off the feeling so we could get on with it. But I found it ironic indeed that that capacity was there, while on conscious levels we were trying to move an inch at a time, when we could do so by leaps and bounds as far as the body’s abilities and willingness were concerned.

Now. The small but vivid “dream” is an example of a mental spontaneous exercise that in its fashion is every bit as effective as a physical exercise—and such spontaneous normal motion points the way toward the body’s further physical activity.
