“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the past, the body itself was depressed (a very important point), running at low gear, and this is certainly not the case now. Each time, of course, the period of blueness is briefer, the system cleared more quickly, and the new improvements also show themselves at a quicker rate.

(Long pause.) The changing condition of the eyes shows the kind of cycles that occur: the upper edges, so to speak, of improvements continue, so that each new improvement is, obviously, superior to the last. But in the meantime there is much variation, unevenness, and times when the vision is quite unclear. Those changes do indeed seem mysterious. Ruburt is not looking at his own eyes all of the time — so that mysteriousness is somehow taken for granted. He understands so little about the eyes’ operation to begin with, that he does not bother to figure out, or try to figure out, the order that such improvements should take, or how they should happen.

It shows he is ready to encounter himself, and at least willing to look kindly upon himself. Of course, the lipstick is an excellent idea, and the eyebrow pencil, so that he begins to care for his face as he used to. The face’s expression accurately reflects the inner self-image, as odd as it may seem. A smile, even when he does not feel like smiling, builds up the self-image, and affects the entire bodily condition.
