“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt has been so used to constricted motion that the sensation of new motion sometimes startles him enough to cause tenseness in the area involved. [...]

You can also tell him that he can welcome new motion, knowing that it surely leads to recovery. As more new motion is introduced it will be easier and easier for him to go along without fear, but in a true thanksgiving. [...]

(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. [...]

[...] Your dehypnotizing sessions are very important in helping him become accustomed to new motion. [...]

Again, it may not involve motion in terms with which you usually refer. There are many kinds of motion, for example, that you do not perceive as motion within the physical field.

[...] Motion is the type of action with which you are most familiar, but motion attains its importance within the physical field only because of your particular outer senses. [...]

[...] It may appear in many guises, due to the nature of the particular reality of which it is part, and it involves much more than motion. [...]

[...] Action does not occur along any given line or direction exclusively, though you may perceive its motion in only one direction. [...]

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

[...] She could even feel the effects of the motions in her groin. [...]

[...] When she began moving her left foot again, she could feel the motion travel up her leg, through the knee, into the hip and the groin, then on toward the shoulder on that side of her body. [...]

[...] I am speaking now only to reinforce the import of Ruburt’s improvements—and with each new motion beneficial probabilities are courted, and will then be manifest. [...]

There is no doubt that Ruburt’s right leg manifested important new motions yesterday. [...] Those motions allowed other motions to occur in other parts of the body. [...]

[...] Laughing at the freedom of motion. [...]

There was some disorientation on Ruburt’s part because of the unaccustomed motion, but he handled that well. [...]

You do innately possess that freedom in your painting—as Ruburt innately possesses that same freedom of bodily motion. [...]

Dreams involve a certain kind of inner motion, and in a manner of speaking, at least, exterior motions consist of dream activities also, and in a dream reality that everyone more or less agrees is a separate, objective world. [...]

It is easy enough for ordinary people to move (pause) without questioning, but in full acceptance that such motion is a natural characteristic. It only becomes difficult to move when one begins to question the nature of motion, or overly is awed by it. [...]

[...] You do not trust your own spontaneity of motion—but spontaneity of motion is a true order of all life, in whatever form. [...]

[...] The body does not just work part by part—but its motions are also the result of unseen organizations and connections that unite the various parts of the body. [...]

[...] He should indeed now learn to become aware of those immediately denied impulses toward motion, of which he spoke this evening. And of course to follow through with the motion, rather than to check it as he has often done.

Even in his experience today he has gratified portions of the body by allowing them proper motion. [...] It reassures muscular memory, and again, he can no longer accept himself as someone who cannot perform a certain motion.

He is seldom aware that that impulse is even there, so I want him to look for the impulse whenever a situation would seem to call for that motion, and he will find it… other impulses he is now becoming aware of. [...]

(Jane said she did motions at times during the night and this morning. [...]

Seeds of motion,

(Long pause.) Also, again, to tell him that regardless of the session’s words, new nuances and motions are carried by the session itself.

[...] She had a good night and morning, with some new motions in hydro. [...] I said it seems the legs are on their way to clearing themselves more—that the jerky motions result from unused muscles trying to get back into the rhythm of everyday motion. [...]

(She showed me how she can still reach across her chest and up toward her left shoulder with her right hand and arm—a motion she began yesterday. [...]

[...] Jane wanted to do some head and neck motions, hoping they wouldn’t bother her legs.

[...] With Ruburt we should work toward the development of contrasts —deep relaxation and fast heating motions. Motions that induce a feeling of warmth.

These need not be necessarily violent motions, but they will induce a feeling of freedom and spontaneity, and increase blood circulation. [...]

He is indeed too careful of his motions out of habit and fear of the consequences. [...]

[...] On occasion, imagine both hands in vigorous motion of one kind or another, until they become tired and at complete (underlined) rest. [...]

Drive to post office with R. Almost too many improvements to remember; much greater motion right ankle; considerable new motion left foot; left knee looser; also right knee, to lesser degree; head-neck areas and ligaments all definitely loosening; and jaw. [...]

[...] Certain postures were allowed, certain motions, and not others, as if Ruburt operated his body as though it were a puppet, keeping it in certain ritualized motions by holding the strings too tightly.

In other ways he did not use his eyes to follow sideward motions, and often tensed the entire head area when he executed any movement he felt was difficult. As the knee and neck areas began—as they are—spontaneous motions, unused activities of the eyes also began to show. [...]

[...] The eyes looked forward, moving with the head’s motion. [...]

[...] Spontaneity had to be allowed if any normality of motion was to occur. [...]

[...] Carla had said last night when she called that Jane was still doing the motions she’d begun yesterday. [...] When the motions had started up, Jane had asked her to leave, since she hadn’t wanted to do the motions in front of someone else.

(Very long pause.) The body’s motion already begins to assert itself. Let him find that motion. [...]

When he worries about his book, this is simply a demonstration of the still-remaining lack of trust in the motion of his own psyche. The painting, however, and the poetry, sets him into motion, releasing the trust that will then flow into his other writing. [...]

[...] An inner rebuilding process has occurred at all levels, necessary preliminaries for agility and balanced motion.

[...] She’d started moving it on the bed, along with head motions off the pillow. [...]

[...] Good motions of head and shoulders and left leg lift. [...]

[...] Yet the motion was noticeable for the first time—good progress, I told Jane. [...]

[...] Sudden rapid rotating motions in the left arm. [...]

We want to devote ourself now to some motion exercises, and I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I so often speak. [...]

[...] A couple of minutes later she came across with a burst of very strong and rapid motions generally. [...]

[...] Strong sideways motions, head and chest and arms. [...]

(In answering my question, Jane said she knows what motions she’s making, but often pays no attention—which is good, since it means she’s letting the body do its thing in its own way. [...]

The forward motion brings you into the future, out of the past from which it seems you are emerging. So you plot a straight course, it seems, through time, never realizing in our analogy that the wheel’s circular motion allows you to transverse this ongoing road. [...] Instead they refer to the circular motion of your own psyche as it seems to progress in time. [...]

[...] Cause and effect as you think of them appear only because of the motion, the relative motion, of the wheel in our analogy.

When your eyes are on the road of time, therefore, you forget the circular motion of your being. [...]

[...] But once again, a new motion and strength has been added. [...]

[...] I began doing mail while Jane started a few motions with her left foot and head and shoulders. [...]

[...] Jane made a few more motions before the session. [...]

[...] The motion still bothered her right knee, near the break, however, but not nearly as much as it used to. [...]

[...] During the day and particularly at night, the ligaments in right side of my neck definitely loosened; giving me some new neck and head motions that are quite obvious to me; the entire right side seemed to be loosening.

[...] By 5 PM—eyes feel lots easier & feels that “sideways eye muscles” show new motion.

[...] Very briefly, for your edification: Ruburt’s eyes are achieving normal motion, the muscles and so forth being released to normal capacity in the last few days. [...]

[...] She feels the entire right side of the body especially in new motion.)

(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.

What I mean here is a noticeable overall additional freedom of motion to some degree in all areas. [...]
