“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Suggestions such as I have given you are meaningless if any improvement is faced by an attitude that says “Such a minute improvement is meaningless,” or “This has happened before, and gone nowhere”—and so I wanted those attitudes completely routed out. [...] They should be applied with the idea of helping Ruburt to improve.

[...] When Ruburt does not feel ashamed to meet guests, it will seem to him that this is because he is so physically improved. Actually the improvements follow and are the physical materialization of his responsiveness to himself, and to the natural world.

[...] General improvements, then, seemed to be under way.

[...] This is an overall activation because of the overall intent, and therefore more in balance than the beginning of improvements in the past. [...]

(11:10.) There should be considerable improved functioning noticeable in Ruburt’s body—some considerable lack of habitual restraint in motion occurring, say, as affairs now stand, anywhere from now to a week or ten days.

[...] This should also involve a vast improvement of the eyes for all practical purposes. [...]

He receives new indications of his improvements each day, so it is vital that he remember that the improvements are leading him toward sitting up, standing, and walking. [...]

[...] Ruburt will continue to improve—and remind him that all of these preparations are being made so that his body may soon operate. [...]

[...] I was most concerned that we be able to maintain the financial status quo while Jane was showing so many improvements, along with the promise of doing even better. [...]

[...] You can continue, and Ruburt’s improvement will continue in Framework 1, but you can also accelerate even further, and grab hold of the threshold in Framework 2, which in your terms will let Ruburt improve as easily as now your money comes.

Saying this, I do not want to make you impatient with Ruburt’s progress, for he is naturally improving. He can do more than naturally improve, however, if you understand what I am saying, and does not confuse the rules of the two frameworks. [...]

[...] To some extent, however, they limited improvement in that area. [...] Frank’s knowledge can still be helpful, but it should not be allowed, now, to curtail improvements, or limit them, by conventional knowledge of what muscles and joints can or cannot do, or by projecting any particular procedure—as, for example, Ruburt will do this or that, before this or that.

He has been trying too hard to some extent in Framework 1, where the spontaneity of motion in Framework 2 will allow for the more or less spontaneous accomplishment of detailed motion in Framework 1. I want to emphasize the importance of the improvements that are taking place in Framework 1. These sessions, however, will result in an acceleration and ease, if the sessions are put to use.

(Her physical improvements continue in the overall way that Seth said they would. This morning I noticed a good improvement in the movement of Jane’s knees over what they were capable of, say, a month ago. [...]

Now: Had Ruburt gone to a doctor or a faith healer when we began our last group of sessions, and then in a matter of a week or so found himself able again to walk with his [typing] table across the kitchen floor, some thirteen or fourteen steps perhaps, where before three were his uncomfortable limit, he might have attributed the improvement to a doctor’s treatment or to a faith healer’s ability — but he would have been impressed. [...]

Those improvements came about in their way magically, because he has begun to use and understand this material. [...]

[...] There are changes in the hips occurring, and remarkable improvements already “in the works.” [...]

There is no doubt that improvements have occurred in Ruburt’s condition. You would have to be blind not to realize that his ankles and feet, his hands and wrists, his neck and jaw, have all improved. [...]

[...] Had you both trusted the body, had you believed that it did indeed improve to improve, then Ruburt would have been more aware of the new balancing sensations and positions, and would not have added anxiety on top.

[...] Since you are doing this alone, more or less, it is natural to be upset at times, but when your confidence is greater than your doubts, Ruburt always improves.

(Intently:) There is no reason to fear a prolonged period of improvements that “go nowhere.” [...]

(11:41.) Ruburt’s condition is vastly improved. [...]

He is thinking of what to do physically, however, which automatically alters his mental expectations, and further improves his beliefs. [...]

As probabilities operate in each moment of your life there are minute improvements in Ruburt’s condition, and minute backslidings; pulsations, really, of reactions. Now if you concentrate upon the improvements with this understanding that facts grow from that creativity, then you begin to structure your attention in the line of those improvements, minute as they appear. [...]

He also felt that you reacted to his improvement by feeling threatened yourself, that you disapproved of it. [...]

[...] He always felt now, and work this out yourselves, that you focused upon the most negative aspects of his condition, and ignored any improvement as minute. [...]

He then began to mistrust any improvements himself, and to think “So what? [...]

Ruburt read it, and is reading it, looking for those feelings that allowed vast improvements to occur at the time—and for once he did not look into the past with his usual self-disapproval. [...]

[...] In that one area of Ruburt’s condition, you focus upon the improvements that occur. [...]

If Ruburt is showing improvements, then let these rise to your attention. [...]

(I haven’t done so, but I imagine that if I charted the days when her reading was markedly better, a definite pattern of improvements would show. The same sort of pattern of improvement must be operating with the body as a whole, then, I speculated. [...]

Ruburt’s energy has been going into his body’s recovery, and many new improvements are taking place, which will shortly show themselves. [...]

[...] How interesting, I said, to have new improvements to look forward to! [...]

He is afraid to, but if you saw the worst, as he thinks of it, and accepted him as he is, then help him, he can be pleased to show you any improvement. The improvement will follow if my suggestions are followed, and if both of you understand the reasons as given.

[...] His physical reassurance is necessary—that is, he needs to be reassured that physically he can improve, and perform.

[...] Physical improvement, now, in that context (underlined), meant something else you were demanding, but did not expect.

[...] Because of the material given the other evening, and Ruburt’s own background, this is what happened in the past: he would manage to show some improvement as your attitude became more loving. [...]

[...] I told her her vision would continue to improve, and am very enthusiastic about this. [...]

[...] Circulation improving, I said. [...]

[...] Increased circulation in the head and shoulder area is also responsible for the improvement of his vision. [...]

[...] As I massaged her with Oil of Olay I told Jane that I’d stopped giving her body specific suggestions—say, that a hand could open up—because according to Seth’s material the body had its own order and schedule for showing improvements, and I’d become wary of giving suggestions that might conflict with that schedule. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s eyes continue to show their improvements, and those improvements mirror other inner ones that still have to physically manifest themselves. [...]

[...] There’s a definite improvement since then, and I pointed this out to my wife. [...]

[...] She did a few small exercises, moving her left foot and her upper body, almost deliberately, to see if she could do them; we’d talked about her retaining so far all the improvements she’s made since October 9, when we had the first of the “new” sessions. [...]

Some of that understanding should flower this week, so that he grabs more fully a hold of that creative stimulus that can greatly accelerate his improvements. [...]

It is one thing to understand the imperfections of medicine, but quite another if you are not willing to take one to two hours a week to work with techniques that are highly important to improve your own health. [...]

[...] That freedom induces physical improvements. [...] You must learn to reinforce each other’s faith in Ruburt’s constant improvements, as you have encouraged each other’s faith in your own and each other’s creative abilities.

[...] You recognize improvements, but you do not see him walking better, and you are not pleased, either of you, with his vision; though it shows that great activity is going on, and that there have been improvements there also.

[...] Her physical improvements continued in general terms, although it had seemed to be a slower week.)

[...] The game, of course, is to get as many stars as possible, and to improve in that respect from day to day. [...]

[...] Ruburt should also be patient with himself, for he is indeed improving, and further improvements are definitely in store. [...]

[...] I asked Jane if she’d been stewing about getting quick improvements. [...]

(I found that both her hands showed signs of improvement in feel and motion at the wrists especially, much to my pleasant surprise, so we’re making good progress there. [...]

(For the last several days, especially, Jane has been experiencing marked improvements in her physical condition. [...] Today she’d been so relaxed, with so many physical things taking place—all improvements—that I didn’t think she’d want to have a session.

[...] Her improvements seem to accelerate a bit each day. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that Ruburt’s improvements will continue, and at a certain point accelerate as the body takes advantage of work done.

On Ruburt’s condition: the physical improvements are definitely continuing. [...]

[...] Then it seems that an improvement operationally suddenly happens.

Sometimes Ruburt may show an excellent improvement, as he did reading this afternoon, or a limb may suddenly move in a much freer manner. [...] The most favorable improvements point the way for the body’s progress. Performance may be uneven in the meantime, however—until finally the most auspicious improvements do indeed become the normal, natural state of affairs. [...]

[...] Before long, however, he will be much more confident as his own improvements convince him of his body’s overall vitality, and its resurge of excellent health. [...]

[...] She’s experienced many physical sensations and changes in her body—and I could tell that it was responding very well to her constantly improving attitudes. More than once she expressed the hope that these multitudinous changes were leading to lasting, obvious improvements in her physical condition.

[...] In the old system, you must almost fear personal improvement, lest you become self-deluded—another irony in that old system. [...]
