“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The spontaneous love-making is an improvement, and important, and Ruburt’s remarks to you today were pertinent in that regard. If Ruburt tries to do physical things the ability to do them will come. You cannot insist upon the proof ahead of time. You cannot say “I will walk in the driveway gladly when I can walk easily.” You must walk in the driveway, showing your body your intent to do so, and it will respond by walking easily. And it will respond because you do want it to walk.

Physically the body is still responding. Certain body beliefs operate. I will have more to say but tonight is not the time. He has been lately working with inner ideas of spontaneity, hence the Cézanne material, and the initial speaker’s manuscript. Your encouragement with the bathroom issue was concentrated in that area, and hence effective. Often you are each blind, or shortsighted, in the same areas.

Now Ruburt does walk more around the house than he did, but he should extend this to your ground. It would help if you walked with him in the beginning, though this is not necessarily a prerequisite. Show the body what you want and it will respond. Then, however, in the meantime forget it.

[...] It responds to the questions as they are asked, but it responds even more to the unspoken questions or feelings beneath. [...]

[...] The level you reached was one that responded to that fear, that perhaps the teeth were bad. You say that of course you wanted to know the truth—but the pendulum responded to the part of you that was afraid, by trying to soothe your fears, as for example a mother might say “No, do not worry, everything will be all right,” while on the other hand she might be making rapid calculations as to what should be done, but first she will soothe the child.

[...] My pendulum told me often that the teeth were responding to my negative projections that the two volumes of “Unknown”weren’t going to make much of an impression in the mundane world, no matter what we said or did.

[...] Just now, reading a letter from the editor of an occult journal I found myself mentally responding in James vein, saying: I am somewhat judicious, and therefore waited before responding”—and suddenly I saw—that I WAS SOMEWHAT JUDICIOUS—I AM SOMEWHAT JUDICIOUS and in my mind I’ve thought that I was if anything overly spontaneous and therefore to be watched lest my spontaneity contradict my “reason” as if on my own I had no “judiciousness”—and not seeing in fact that the symptoms were the result of —over-judiciousness. [...]

[...] I know my major premise is based on the eternal truths of life, and I know, feel, and believe that my subconscious mind responds according to the nature of my conscious mind thinking.

[...] I know the deeper wisdom of my subconscious is now responding, and what I feel and claim within is expressed in the without. [...]

[...] It is responding to me now. [...]

(9:34.) Now: it is easy to live—so easy that although you live, rest, create, respond, feel, touch, see, sleep and wake, you do not really have to try to do any of those things. [...]

[...] People respond with illnesses of one kind or another, or through exaggerated behavior.

3. My body’s natural safety is the result of its built-in agility, its ability to relax, to let go, to move and respond. [...]

[...] I see the feet and toes responding, and will concentrate more upon them tomorrow.

[...] She did well, and is indeed responding to the new hope we’re creating.)

[...] The physically oriented consciousness, responding to one phase of the atom’s activity, comes alive and awake to its particular existence, but in between are other fluctuations in which consciousness is focused upon entirely different systems of reality; each of these coming awake and responding, and each one having no sense of absence, and memory only of those particular fluctuations to which they respond.

[...] Your knee can see, every portion of the body responds to light. [...]

[...] Other layers of the self biologically respond to the older, more generalized but less limited perceptive mechanisms.

[...] Dreams at the deepest level will not respond necessarily then to your present sex identity.

[...] These in everyone serve as trigger stimuli, to which often unconsciously the body responds, and with a highly specific kind of discrimination.

Over a period of time, then, certain portions of the body will habitually respond in any given overall positive or negative way. [...]

(9:44.) It is obvious that Ruburt’s body is responding, and it is responding eagerly to the approaches you are now using, because it is dealing with the entire picture. [...] The ligaments in the legs are responding beautifully, and as I said earlier, there is a give-and-take between the trunk and leg areas.

Try to respond more clearly, each of you, to the moment, for you have a tendency otherwise not to see given events as clearly as you might otherwise. [...]

[...] The muscles must be immediately alert, and the entire body flexible enough to respond as a whole. [...]

By the time the organism responds the inner patterns have already reacted, and this must and always does precede any physical response to stimuli. [...]

[...] (See the note at the end of the session.) These respond to the interior patterns I’ve told you about. [...]

[...] The brain then responds to the alteration. [...] As the cells respond at certain levels to ever-changing streams of probabilities, so do your thoughts. Your body responds as you think it should, however, and so your conscious beliefs about reality have much to do with those probable experiences that you accept as a part of your intimate living.

[...] You train yourselves — biologically, even — to inhibit certain stimuli, yet often the body itself responds to the very stimuli that you consciously ignore. [...]

[...] When you do not respond in this manner the annoyance builds up and you are then tempted to respond to one incident as if many were involved, because the others were not responded to adequately at the time.

[...] In a way then the word, with its intent and meaning, has tremendous power, to which the body is responding. [...] It also implies the ability to respond. [...]

[...] The body instantly responds to a new image by activating its entire mechanism. Ruburt does not yet know what his response to the world will be—whether he wants, for example, television shows and so forth, or not—but he is now determined to respond, to be responsive, and not to simply retreat.

As he is using it, the word “responsive” will give him freedom to respond as he wishes to the world in general, so that the two of you can make decisions. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s body is responding because his main affiliation—main (underlined)—is changing, so that actions necessary in the old system do not any longer apply.

(10:38.) A note: Ruburt’s body is continuing to respond. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s exercises are important because of his intent in doing them; a vital, beneficial change of attitude there, and because of that his body is responding.

[...] Animals respond to your feeling, your intent. [...]

[...] The specific nature of inoculations, however, means that more and more become necessary in that system, for the fear of each newly discovered disease becomes paramount—and no time is given, in your terms, now, for the body to respond naturally to those natural conditions, and therefore build up a natural immunity, biologically speaking.

[...] You are not aware of those greater dimensions of activity that go on as you work at your notes, or familiar with the millions of people who will respond to them in their conscious life, and in the multiconscious level of their dreams. [...]

Because you respond as physical creatures you respond best of all to tangible physical results. [...]

[...] Your physical system itself rapidly responds and mirrors the use of this energy. [...]

[...] It is responding, however, to suggestions almost automatically applied. [...] There, you are so confident of the truth that your beliefs form reality that you need not check the body at every point to see how it is reacting, for you know it will respond as completely to the new suggestions as it did to the old, even though you recognize that practically speaking some time might be involved in Framework 2’s time.

We will call your working framework, Framework 1 for purposes of discussion, and this higher framework, Framework 2. In Framework 1, time must be allowed for the body to respond, physical time. [...]

[...] Because you are less affected obviously by the negative suggestion, you can catch him, and he will now respond beneficially.
