“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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 been upset and encouraged at the same time by the cigarette episode Jane had described to me just before the session. It seems that last night the nurse—Dawn? —had accidentally dropped the lighted cigarette, and Jane had jerked her legs out of the way to avoid being burned, or to avoid the threat of injury. “You never saw me move so fast in your whole life.” she’d said. or used words to that effect.

(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.

(I tried to explain to Jane that fear on conscious levels was what was holding her back. That Seth was right: The body was perfectly willing to move, and knew how to do so, if it was allowed to do so. “Maybe it was my ulcers that kept me from moving all that time,” she said.

(4:30. Jane fell asleep, flat on her back, mouth open, breathing loudly. I worked with the mail. Waking, she said she’d dreamed that she was home in the shower, on her hands and knees part of the time, with the water cascading upon her head. She also raised her arms above her head in a perfectly normal way as she wet her hair while standing up, she said. We hoped the dream was another therapeutic episode along the way.
