“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Last night in bed all through the night off and on I had the following hard-to-explain but welcome experience. First, after just half asleep I suddenly knew how to turn over in a particular easy way that didn’t hurt nearly as much as usual. Then sometime later I realized I’d been very comfortable, sleeping great, but was now getting sore again—hips in particular, and arms. Then I became disoriented, and couldn’t figure out if I was in bed or in my chair. Realized I was in bed, in a particular position and making certain motions that were self-conflicting, leading to the discomfort; and that I was in this position because I thought I’d done something wrong that somehow necessitated the position. Guilt was involved. At the same time almost I realized quite clearly that I’d made a mistake; I hadn’t done anything wrong and the position was needless. And at once my physical discomfort vanished. This same process—with different positions in bed—happened four or five times, each time with the discomfort vanishing just about instantly. (AM. I’m quite uncomfortable though.)

(Added the next day, as I type these notes: The discomfort returned at times, but not to the extent of yesterday. [...] Usually she is able to move sufficiently well without great discomfort. [...]

He felt this today in certain positions, but that period is just about over, of discomfort.

[...] The discomfort itself, accepted, triggers those body responses that will and are righting the situation. [...] You can minimize pain or discomfort through drugs, cutting down on the “cry” of any symptoms. [...]

Now Ruburt mentally cut down upon the discomfort of his symptoms, so that the body did not feel its own discomfort strongly enough to trigger healing processes to the degree necessary. [...]

Ruburt’s recent discomfort is partially caused by the fear that his body will not be able to completely heal itself, even if he does uncover all of the reasons for his predicament.

This session should help to minimize that discomfort, which is often so apparent during your visits — precisely when he wants to be at his best. [...]

[...] Of course, we noticed that Seth had said that Jane’s discomfort was only partially caused by her fears that she cannot heal herself. [...]

[...] You experienced chest discomfort. Now that chest discomfort immediately reminded you of your friend, and was meant, again, to tell you that he was in some difficulty. [...]

[...] Therefore, in a way, your body was subjected to stress that it did not need, as the message was translated into physical terms of discomfort. [...]

(In the call this morning, Jane learned that Leonard had overdone his physical activities at the house, and suffered some discomfort as a result. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

The leg and thigh discomforts in bed are definitely the result of concentrated periods of muscular exercise. The body wants to get up and move—either that, or a brief massage–but mainly the realization of the body’s positive activity will help bring the discomfort to a halt.

[...] The discomforts, however, are the results of doubts, of fears, so that extra muscular tension for example is applied in any given case.

[...] She makes almost continuous sounds of pain—discomfort as these bodily motions progress. [...]

(At 4:05 Jane’s whole left leg from the toes on up began to flex noticeably, as she continued to make her noises of pain-discomfort-effort. [...]

The difficulty after your dentist visit was partially natural enough, but exaggerated for these reasons, so that the discomfort gave you an acceptable reason for resting—while still being virtuous in your own eyes.

[...] He ignores the message, and sleeps, muttering in protest at the discomfort, and then it takes him another hour or so after breakfast, simply because he did not move the body when it was ready to move.

[...] The discomfort there will gradually pass, as indeed other symptoms have since he began his walking. [...]

[...] Now, however, it should be remembered that the muscles can easily accustom themselves to any new motions without anything but a minimum of discomfort.

[...] And his discomfort will only be a memory in a few days.

[...] Jane was making noises of pain and discomfort, though after a while she stopped this while she ate. [...]

[...] She was quite upset because of her discomfort in her right leg after I’d first turned her on her back before lunch.)

[...] The discomfort in the groin/testicle area is much less, at times absent altogether, and I believe that my steady rereading of Seth’s recent private material for me has helped a great deal here. [...] It’s something I’ve largely neglected in past periods of discomfort. [...]

Lately, when he lies down, and the pressure is off, his hips, hip joints, and hamstrings have begun new adjustments that are at a certain level uncomfortable—but because that frightens him the discomfort is more than it would be otherwise. [...]

A trust in that process will let it complete itself far more rapidly and with much less discomfort. [...]

[...] Ideally, Ruburt could completely recover with no discomfort. Practically, he is indeed experiencing more discomfort than he needs to.

[...] Everything that I am saying tonight is an effort to minimize Ruburt’s discomfort, and to quicken the healing. [...]

Some discomfort is involved, and that discomfort instantly brings up feelings about belief in the body. [...]

[...] Traces of my chest discomfort, re Leonard, had also come upon me at times. [...]

[...] She seemed to be a little more comfortable, now that her birthday and Mother’s Day are past — factors, Seth said, that contributed to her discomfort.)

[...] I said I felt that her fears were behind much of her hip discomfort, and she had admitted to feelings of fear several times lately—including today when she did her notes. [...]

A note: Ruburt’s discomfort is indeed aggravated by fears. [...]
