“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] On one level the Psycho-Cybernetics is important also, for it reminds him on the simplest of terms that he can perform better, and reinforces a trust in himself.

(This concerns my recent suggestions to Jane that she concentrate upon the beauty and pleasure of the moment; even when she is performing a difficult task, or finds herself brooding, etc. [...]

Any attempts on Ruburt’s part to help more in the kitchen or wherever, will for example now take time, in that you could perform the same chore far quicker —so you will run up against your old beliefs about the value and use of time.

[...] The writing ability is still there, though his performance is as impeded as Ruburt’s is in his walking.

About Ruburt’s predictions (about yesterday’s mail; very successful): many people feel such a performance impossible. [...]

(10:01.) Augustus Two, you see, believes that his body is nearly invincible, and following this belief the body does perform much better. [...]

[...] As Augustus Two he could stay up night and day and perform physical tasks quite difficult for the normal human being to do, for he operated under the indivisible idea of power and strength.

[...] Physically the body has the same capacity for strength regardless of which group of ideas were dominant; but practically speaking, Augustus One was incapable of performing the feats of Augustus Two.

[...] He should try jumping rope in his mind, and then perform physically. [...]

[...] Let him imagine himself performing varied vigorous activities until he is nearly exhausted, and then imagine the ensuing deep relaxation.

In this case you are yourself the programmer, and the true action is not where it appears to be — in the exterior events — but instead in the psyche, where you are writing and performing the drama. In the dream state, you are writing and performing many such dramas.

[...] Your so-called mistakes exist as mistakes only in the light of your aspirations to perform better, to express more fully developed experiences, rather than to write better sentences.

[...] That help is blocked, if in Framework 1 you constantly imagine impediments or concentrate upon past poor performance, or project such performance into the future.

At this stage I do not want Ruburt to compare his physical performance with yours at all. [...]

[...] I do know that Jane has the abilities to perform all of those activities, and this almost idle realization recently may have triggered the more concrete question.

[...] She hasn’t walked a great deal lately, but our emphasis is now on trusting the body’s own wisdom as to when it wants to perform, and what it wants to do. [...]

[...] To the body, however, this is the kind of natural action it is always involved in, as it constantly rebuilds itself, maintains life, and it involves the body in work that it is indeed highly equipped to perform. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s body is also so equipped to perform its healing functions. [...]

This recognition does indeed involve a new performance on the part of your own consciousness, a mental and imaginative leap that gives you control and direction over achievements that you have always performed, though without your conscious awareness.

[...] When you perform some task without effort and take joy in the task, you will have some slight idea of All That Is. [...]

[...] In larger terms, such focusing in particular areas can involve an entire life situation, reincarnationally speaking, where you choose ahead of time, so to speak, to concentrate your attention in certain areas rather than others; you may pick for yourself a body that does not perform normally, or a mind that is not up to par in usual terms.

[...] Those he has been eminently able to perform, and has done beautifully.

What you have then was Ruburt’s desire to have his teeth fixed, when it was obvious that he must, and his fear that he could not perform adequately at this time. [...]

[...] My body can feel better and perform better. [...]

In Framework 2 the mind affects the physical brain in a more complete and effective manner than usual, and can spark images, thoughts, or correlations that exist in a context outside of the time that is happening in Framework 1. Time happens at a certain regulated rate, then, obviously, in Framework 1. A certain amount of time is needed there to do a certain amount of work, and according to scientific dictates a specific amount of effort is required to perform different kinds of work.

Framework 1, to some extent or another, however, is always influenced by Framework 2. There, the same correlations do not apply between the effort expended and the work performed, or the time required for such procedures. [...]

[...] It takes so much physical time to perform any given number of physical activities.

[...] The attitude turns beloved projects into pursuits that must be performed along the surface of the moments. [...]

(Before the session we talked about the firewalker’s performance on the recent Alan Neuman show. [...]

[...] In very ancient times, medicine men had to perform such acts as part of their initiation ceremonies. [...]

[...] When this is done, as it was this evening, easily, getting up and down from the floor does the same thing physically, reminding the body and the mind of successful performances in the past. [...] Ruburt does not need his conscious mind to perform as a guardian. [...]

[...] His purpose and his psychological progress have led him to further activations, and as I have said several times, this means that sometimes he will feel like walking, and will do so with a relative amount of balance, and on other occasions, perhaps 20 minutes earlier or later, his walking might be uncomfortable and “worse” in performance.

One small note that occurred to me: for whatever reasons—I will not discuss them now—Ruburt did not feel particularly that you needed or wanted his physical help in matters that you could perform more efficiently by yourself. [...]

Sometimes there is a cleavage, so to speak, where the body, prepared to act in the old way, begins to change its performance. [...]
