“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Ruburt has exercised often because separate portions of the body were ready for certain motions, while the overall balance for walking, for example, was not present, since various areas of the body were changing at different rates. There will be periods when he feels like walking often, and shortly, and they well may be followed by periods when separate portions of the body may want to be exercised, say, alone.

[...] In the past two weeks, however, in particular, there were periods when the arms and legs were both changing in their own fashions, so that Ruburt did not feel like walking, while he did feel like exercising. He had difficulty with this (left) leg, and became upset—but the back leg muscles were exercising themselves. [...]

Give us a moment … When you try these exercises, therefore, make an honest attempt to leave your conventional ideas behind you. [...] There is an exercise that will help you.

[...] I consider my own book, The Nature of Personal Reality: A Seth Book, as a prerequisite for the exercises given here in this volume.

If you do not understand the natural grace of your being¹ then when you try some of the exercises given here you may automatically translate them into a quite limiting set of beliefs.

[...] There is no danger in the exercises I suggest. [...]

[...] The exercises which Ruburt is barely beginning will be of great help in our work, and in the development of his abilities. They are also however excellent exercises that will result in the training so advantageous at the point of transition.

(At break, Jane showed me some yoga exercises she has recently resumed. [...]

[...] The earlier resistance against exercise was quite understandable, for it was a symptom of the inner resistance.

[...] 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. [...]

[...] She began some exercises. [...]

[...] The rune exercises and yawning in particular also helped.

[...] That improvement is also apparent in his rune exercises.

[...] Your pendulum exercises were most beneficial. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s body had extended itself on several occasions that day, stretching and using new postures, giving him the impulses toward further activity, exercising itself through that small-enough but important walk. [...]

When I spoke of exercises, I meant exercises; but the purpose of the exercise is to enable you to understand others. This is not an exercise for you specifically, for you to use specifically for your own reasons; it must also wholeheartedly involve other people. You are not to use them as exercises; you are to exercise your own abilities so that you can perceive them clearly; for you do not understand their reality unless you do so.

The exercise is an exercise in understanding and perceiving the reality of other people without misrepresenting them because of your own inner distortions. The exercise is in understanding others.

[...] If not giant steps, baby steps, each such encounter being a small exercise in seeing another male individual without your image glasses on.

[...] I knew that I was probably attracting these opportunities to me because subconsciously I knew the exercises would be healthful.”)

He started off very well with the walking and exercises and you have helped him. [...]

Let Ruburt write something—anything—as a creative playful exercise daily, without caring whether or not it will develop into a book.

The entire rib area is stretching because of his exercises and walking. [...]

(Besides helping Jane go over Seven Two I am going to make a chart for her to keep records of her walking, exercising, and “free, playful, creative writing,” as Seth put it.)

You have been doing well with the pendulum, and the exercise has successively opened up communication with deeper layers of the self. [...] A point here involving Ruburt’s hands and his mother’s sweaters: he knew that knitting was a therapeutic measure suggested in the past to exercise his mother’s hands. [...]

[...] They are actually exercises in the spontaneous release of the intuitive portion of the self. [...]

[...] I want 10 minutes of simple exercises to re-educate the muscles. [...]

Remind him of the exercises. [...]

The whole exercise, or any part of it, must only be done in order to avail yourself of wisdom, so that you can use your own abilities to help yourself and others.

[...] At any point in the exercise, for it can happen at any stage, you will suddenly feel the you of you, the center identity that runs through all the selves of which you have been part. [...]

Those who try the exercises with wrong purposes will not succeed, for they will not have the proper equation, and it is the one part that cannot be given to them. [...]

[...] In reply she said, “Bob and I massage and exercise them every day.” [...]

[...] When Ruburt is alone he has begun to exercise on his own, and indeed the manipulation of those pressure points on the temples is very important, and has further helped in the release of arms and shoulders. [...]

[...] Now Jane did a few exercises with her head and shoulders; her feet moved a little also. [...]

[...] Jane did a few more exercises. [...]

Now: use of the chair is important because it does increase his mobility in this stage; but also because it exercises the knees while the rest of the body is in a comparatively normal position, with the back, shoulders, and head fairly upright. It also provides exercise to the feet without the weight imbalance that presently operates when he walks.

[...] The things that paid off, the things that were indeed quite effective, were these: again, your chair suggestion —remind me to return to that, for I have not mentioned some other reasons why I would like it stressed—it being the chair; the table in the kitchen, with all of the implications of additional cooking and involvement; your remark (last week) that Ruburt’s face looked much better than it did in those old photographs; your bringing in the flowers; your lovemaking, which I will discuss; and Ruburt’s point-of-power exercises. [...]

[...] This morning’s pendulum session, while helpful, for the general reasons given earlier, was also however more of an exercise in what is wrong, again, and was not followed by any constructive suggestion at all.

(Class discussed the exercise and how our consciousness changed.)

[...] But I want you to try these exercises as you fall to sleep at night, and you will have some excellent projections. [...]

In his daily life however, as I have told him in the past, the yoga exercises should be continued. [...] They are psychic, spiritual and physical exercises that will let him handle energy more effectively, and release his abilities smoothly. [...]

With this present condition completely banished, proper attitudes and proper use of the yoga exercises will allow him to stay in excellent health. [...] The yoga exercises simply include rather painlessly, and in one package, techniques that are of greatest benefit in the maintenance of spiritual, mental and physical health.

[...] Proper attention to work and the exercises mentioned will keep the system in balance, and insure continued health.

(In fact, Jane exercised often during the day, in spite of her feeling out of it so much. [...]

[...] Also enclosed was a chunk of plastic putty to exercise hands, and Jane took to this at once. [...]

[...] Such exercises aid in the evolution of your consciousness, and will also serve you in fashions you may not suspect. [...] All of the exercises given earlier in this book are prerequisites, however; they are necessary so that you understand how the point of power is to be used. [...]

The point of power exercise is meant to familiarize you with your own energy and your ability to direct it. The natural hypnosis exercises (given in the last chapter) allows you greater effectiveness in directing and focusing that power.

[...] The earlier exercises will have helped you understand the reasons for the hate.

[...] She said she “worked out” with some exercises in her room this morning when no one else was around. [...]

[...] It can deliver it to you in the same way as your crossword puzzle exercises, but you have not thoroughly understood, in that regard, that the point of power is in the present, and that you do there also create your own reality.

You have often allowed old beliefs to the contrary to inhibit the exercise of your own mental acuity. [...]

[...] Any exercises in this book should help you enrich that experience, and understand its framework and nature. None of the exercises should be used to try to “escape” the connotations of your own earthly reality.

[...] This is the simplest of exercises.

[...] So the little exercise above is like that.

[...] The ommm exercises, or simply some quiet yoga breathing exercises, would however, and either would relieve the feelings in the chest considerably on the physical level.

[...] In periods of intense inner activity that were enjoyable and productive, you disapproved of yourselves because you were not at the same time socially oriented, vigorously involved in exercises, or physically oriented pursuits, and so you disapproved of yourselves.

[...] The body adjusts its rhythms in a quite healthy manner to your activities, and without polarized habits of thought, periods of deep creativity will automatically be followed by periods of walking, natural exercise of one kind or another, in which subjective thought and body motion are synchronized.

[...] “This time it’s over exercise and related ideas. [...]
