“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] However, by this time Jane was in the process of straining, grunting and groaning as she moved her entire body to some degree. [...] Head and neck, arms and hands, legs and feet all moved in concert. [...] She was afraid people would start coming in to do her vitals, and see her moving; she feared that once she started a series of movements, she couldn’t cut them off right away if someone entered 330. [...]

[...] But it’s safe to say that her right leg is definitely showing signs of moving more. [...]

[...] Jane could feel the knee of her right leg moving. [...]

[...] The whole leg moved up and down, though the knee didn’t flex. [...]

[...] She moved her shoulders and arms and hands as usual—very well indeed—which shows that she’s keeping her new motions. When I did her neck her feet began to move too—there’s a connection, she said. At 3:22, after a cigarette, she began to move most portions of her body in a generalized program of exercise—head off the pillow, arms, shoulders and feet, legs [to a lesser degree] and hips. [...]

[...] At 4:00 she finished a smoke, then her hands began to move some more. [...]

[...] Jane’s feet began to move, both of them, seemingly all by themselves. [...]

(11:55.) Ruburt has decided to move, and the body is responding.

[...] Now, however, the idea that motion can be easy should be implanted—that it can be easier to move. [...]

[...] Have him add simple, brief images of himself moving easily about. [...]

[...] moisture or easiness is now in both legs so I feel I’m moving all together more; go to fix coffee, hoping I can get out of kitchen before laundry boy arrives; do dishes, and the kid comes. [...] Kid tries door; it’s locked; I don’t think I can unlock it and get out of his way quickly enough without asking him to wait for me to move, feel humiliated again, know Rob is busy with the book and why can’t I handle it? [...] Go back to work; then—suddenly move my right foot and it moves up and down quite a bit more—and feel easier and... [...]

(Now she told me the head nurse, Mary, had told Jane the decision would be made later this afternoon about whether people would be moved. [...]

[...] Then her right foot, left leg, torso, all moved well. [...]

[...] She thinks management is using the impending construction program as an excuse to move people. [...]

[...] I suggested that she do so, and that we ask Seth to comment on the moving prospects. [...]

[...] She said she’d reassured herself through the night and morning that it was okay to move, that she trusted her body, and had had some movements.

[...] Her arms and hands kept moving.

[...] I mentioned the joy Seth referred to, and Jane said she felt it, even as she cried while I helped her move her arms. [...]

[...] To my surprise I discovered that as I massaged those tendons underneath the knee, her foot began to move back and forth an inch — something she hasn’t been able to do for months, at least, and proof that the left knee joint wasn’t frozen. [...]

[...] The thought was broached that Jane could be moved—nothing definite. [...] Catherine said names could be moved up and down the Infirmary’s list—evidently Jane’s had been shifted several times when it was determined she was too ill to be moved. [...]

(I was already thinking that we didn’t want to move in any direction until the insurance matter was cleared up, lest it appear that we were running scared. If we moved now, I thought, we might end up stuck with a bill for $50,000, if the insurance refused to cover it under our old setup. [...] But actually, this latest twist was a result of our trying to get somewhere, and might actually work to our benefit with the insurance company, once they were told that my wife couldn’t be moved. [...]

[...] Left foot moved more. [...]

[...] They moved leisurely across Holley Road into our own driveway, nibbling at fallen sumac leaves and the bushes. [...]

So, I said to Jane, not only are we stirring things up by moving out of the apartment house, but we’re entering a situation where we will be staying put while others move away. [...] Yet the full picture of our moving should include not only the myriad probabilities growing out of our own actions, but all of the probable developments involving that house next door: Whatever happenings take place there — which we’ll help create — are bound to have their effects upon us.

In the 737th session, after 11:55, Seth mentioned the “other dentist” who lived and worked around the corner from the apartment house Jane and I moved into in 1960, upon our arrival in Elmira. [...] Several years ago our medical friend moved to a more residential area in Elmira — just where we didn’t know — but kept his offices in his original home. [...]

[...] You are not moving into a closed psychic area, then, where everyone sees the world as you do, even generally speaking. [...]

[...] At some time I will give you information discussing the reasons why some people, after being flooded in one location, then move to another equally threatening environment.

Section 6 also contains the story of how Jane and I searched for the “hill house” we bought and moved into before the last section of “Unknown” Reality was finished. [...] Seth’s information and my own notes detail the interdependent, yet spontaneous, psychic and physical relationships within which each of us elects to move; they reveal how a conscious understanding of such factors, some of which may reach back into one’s childhood, can help greatly in practical daily living. As Seth comments in the 742nd session for April 16, 1975, in Section 6: “It is obvious that when you move from one place to another you make an alteration in space — but you alter time as well, and you set into motion a certain psychological impetus that reaches out to affect everyone you know … Such messages are often encountered in the dream state. [...] When you move, you move into other portions of your selfhood.”

[...] Physical objects cannot move through each other, as a table cannot move through a chair. [...] They can mix and merge, move through each other while still maintaining their own focus. [...]

Moreover, there is nothing to stop it from exploring this other greater identity, or moving into it, so to speak. [...]

(Long pause at 10:01.) You take your breathing, your moving, for granted, though they are unconsciously produced. [...]

[...] “It’s hard material to get,” Jane said, in spite of her delivery, which had moved right along. [...]

[...] As I read the session to her, Jane began moving her left foot and leg, with the right one wanting to get in on the fun. “The right one is trying so hard to move out that it hurts —I can feel it,” she said. [...]

Sometimes Ruburt may show an excellent improvement, as he did reading this afternoon, or a limb may suddenly move in a much freer manner. [...]

[...] Even the right foot moved. [...]

[...] I could see her left hip moving. [...]

[...] Everything moves and changes. Electrical identities move and change. [...]

[...] The inner self moves by changing or moving through intensities from your physical field. [...]

To move through intensities within the electrical system gives the result, on the physical field, of moving through physical time.

[...] She sat without moving for over a minute.)

(At 4:20 Jane was able to move both arms and shoulders to such an extent that she had me take away her ashtray and cigarette so she had more room. The left arm especially moved very freely at the shoulder. “It certainly wants to move,” she said, rotating the whole arm and hand. [...]

(As we talked Jane’s big toes began to move at the first joint, almost in unison. They were painful when I gently touched them, but the toes moved at the first joint. [...] Then both ankles began to move—the whole foot in each case. [...]

[...] She began to move on the bed, twisting her hands and wrists and rotating her arms. [...]

[...] She kept saying her legs wanted to move. [...] Jane also has increased movement in other parts of her body; she can move her head from side to side much further, and her arms and shoulders work better, she said. [...]

(She was also able to alternately move her legs rapidly back and forth a good distance, instead of in unison all the time. [...]

[...] I replied that all I knew was that she couldn’t move like that before taking the vitamins, the peanut oil massages, and the cod liver oil, etc., but I added that I was more than happy to credit sessions, beliefs, and/or anything else that gave us results. [...]

[...] They know they can move easily and quickly. [...] It is Ruburt who must be convinced that his muscles can move correctly. When Frank moves Ruburt’s arms thus-and-so (with gestures), the beneficial results occur because Ruburt recognizes that his arms can move. [...]

The body is willing, itself, to move—and anxious to do so. [...] By physically manipulating the body however in a given framework, Frank shows Ruburt that the body can move better. [...]

Now Ruburt is moving more since you moved here, and to a greater degree than either of you realize. [...]

In the old frame of reference he had to convince himself that his body could not move well, or fast. [...]

[...] Right arm going good in a circle, left foot moving, heavy breathing. [...] Even as she smoked Jane’s left foot moved around, with the right one doing the same thing in miniature. [...]

It is an excellent sign that as portions of the body are released they move spontaneously, following their own order—but they do move with remarkable ease, even while other portions of the body are slowly beginning to release themselves. [...]

[...] Jane’s feet were moving a little as I read a letter. [...]

[...] Your move will be more effortless than you imagine, for you have both settled upon it. And the move will be in all areas.

[...] Three weeks will see a literally spectacular change, for he is holding himself back to some extent until he feels you are free to move.

[...] If everyone moved out she would have to force the issue with her advisers. [...]

[...] You wanted it raised because you were ready to change your environment, but not ready enough to move on your own, without the additional impetus.

You said often enough to yourself: “I’d move if the rent were raised.” [...]

[...] This will give her an excuse shortly to move. [...]

(By 11 PM I’d moved Jane in her chair many times from position to position at each table. “Please, Bob, move me, move me, but don’t swing me so far out into the room, out in the middle like that....” [...]

[...] I moved her chair to the spot at which I sat at the card table, as she directed. A minute later I moved her back to her usual place at the dining room table, again as she directed. [...]

[...] I thought that even my wife would be forced to agree to such a move. [...]

[...] Voice better, head moving up and down, grimacing and gesturing during delivery.)

[...] In one more or less habitual position a few months ago, Ruburt could walk and move his head in a restricted way. [...] The ligaments are trying to move now toward unrestricted motion.

Some feelings of tension at various times then are simply the result of stages in which certain ligaments are moving faster than others. [...]

[...] Given the improvements that Jane has been showing since this series of sessions began, I’d say that both of us have moved much closer to that dedicated and joint desire to see Jane much better, as Seth mentioned on the first page of tonight’s session. [...]
