“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A good part of night or so it seems. Body very sore. Then my hip area turns into a hotel or old castle—like they show in horror movies. The soreness turns into the rocky walls that heave. The whole thing is feeling. Can’t describe it—“Bad.” A voice says, “May your womb shrivel and die!” A terrible thing to say, I think—separate enough to understand and comment. I realize these are feelings from childhood. Church—at a very creative level—or the feeling, use the creative ability to bring about punishment, illness or whatever. And that’s how say “black” magic works. (Also I’d lately seen a show on Jack the Ripper and I think the women were so convinced of their “evil” ways at those levels that they broadcast their need for punishment.) Finally awaken—sleep off and on but sore. And as I waken, very sore, feelings of panic (or nearly). In past I wouldn’t have granted those feelings that expression—

[...] They are gradually unknotting, and it is only natural that these feel some soreness. It is the “soreness,” the sensitivity of life, reasserting itself. [...]

[...] Muscles being released are, as he has noticed, at first sore, then he realizes a new freedom or function regained.

The soreness continues for a while, however, and then vanishes as the muscle regains strength through use. [...]

[...] They are initially wobbly, and in some instances sore. He realizes now that the soreness vanishes quickly, a few days after a muscle is released, and that the soreness is a sign of the muscle’s vitality, newly regained. [...]

The soreness then does not last, but in your terms the muscles must then build strength, and as this happens other muscles are also being released in their own kind of orderly fashion, so that body balance is maintained. [...]

[...] This improvement comes about after she’d been bothered considerably for many days with sore knees, legs, etc. This seems to be the operative pattern: the improvements come after a period of extra soreness and/or difficulty walking, or whatever.)

[...] [I’d begun to mow the grass.] Jane was waking—but she was in a surprisingly uncomfortable, “sore” state involving her legs and hips. [...] It was clear something had happened: Jane said her legs were more relaxed than they’d been in years—but at the same time they were so sore she was appalled. [...]

[...] That the soreness and so forth —really wild—was a reaction as the swirling energy was stirred (very long pause at 12:13) and allowed to escape at least partially—probably only as much as you could allow at once. [...]

[...] I feel that my sleep with the pillow, and my later reactions of soreness, mean that I’ve touched upon, again, those areas I’d forsaken for some time, and shoved away or whatever, and that the release of tension itself was bound to be somewhat explosive, I suppose. [...]

Practically speaking, some soreness was to be expected, because of mass and private beliefs about the body. [...]

In a manner of speaking, Frank said “As you recover, the soreness of the body will be a sign of new activity, letting you keep track of your progress.” [...]

The soreness comes in stages. This is returning sensation, interpreted as sore on his part but not on the body’s. Again, that is transitory. [...]

[...] there was a lot on this; I’d half wake up, very sore; half crying.... [...]

[...] Again I grew very sore—after being fairly comfortable for the night—half awakened crying as different things happened that I’ve forgotten.... [...]

[...] It was unnatural in those terms for Ruburt not to feel soreness in the past when his body stance was so unnaturally restrained. [...]

[...] If you would keep track, you would find that the sore areas are being treated, and trigger their own releases. [...]

Ruburt’s particular soreness will be quite transitory—at one stage only, occurring in fact at the first instances of freedom with any given portion of the body. [...]

I awakened toward morning with my body quite sore and with the memory of an earlier dream scene. [...]

Just before awakening I’m aware of my body’s soreness and think it’s from caring for the silverware, which wasn’t even the best silverware; that somehow the silver represented my psychic ability.... [...]

[...] Saturday AM the parts of my body that had felt softer, were quite sore; knees and arms. [...] I went out because I thought I should; anyhow later, the parts stopped being sore; and walking there was another difference as if I were trying to swing some from side to side the way you should; felt some ambitious, cleaned bathroom a bit....

The soreness lately at night will pass, but as he sleeps this week the shoulder blades and rib cage and neck area have all been stretching. The sensations are one thing, and again the bodybuilder has his coach, but if Ruburt awakens sore, with you asleep, he can feel isolated.

[...] In past days Jane’s rhythmic alterations between soreness and comfort in various part of her body continued, almost as though on a schedule.)

[...] Any soreness is caused by the body’s new activity.”

[...] At its beginning I wrote about the soreness Jane was experiencing throughout the left side of her body. Today, that soreness has let up, or nearly so. Instead, she’s aware of soreness in other parts of her body on the right side.

One point: I wanted to stress that when muscles are reactivated, to Ruburt they “feel sore.” [...]

[...] Since various groups of muscles and ligaments come into motion in their own order, the soreness will come and go, or appear in one place and then another. [...]

[...] They have been accompanied by sensations of heat, sweating, and soreness, though not all of these symptoms were present in each relaxation. [...]

[...] The soreness in the knees I mentioned as a possibility last week, but it discouraged him nevertheless.

[...] The soreness in the joints will now begin to diminish simply because the first activation was bound to present some friction as the joints began to move from a state of relative rigidity. [...]

The squatting exercise was difficult for two reasons—one having to do with beliefs, and the second to do with the soreness about the joints. [...]

[...] On the other hand, he is placing himself in a position of trusting the inner self, not from a state of agility and confidence, but one in which he must remind himself that despite, say, soreness, definite feelings of life and mobility appear. [...]

[...] Muscles that have not been used as they are released, are sore. [...]

[...] Ruburt has felt soreness, and then felt it drain away, almost as a physical proof of inner soreness disappearing. [...]

[...] I asked her to rest her legs at times, for I didn’t want her to develop soreness that might bother in future days. [...] Nor was she sore today. [...]

[...] They are first sore. The soreness is a sign of life and vitality, of stimulation and response. [...]

[...] The stretching muscles are sore, but this will quickly vanish—but that soreness is a healthy sign, representing greater leg action. [...]

I put the statement together with the little I recalled from Seth’s session and then spent a few minutes feeling my body sensations: right knee—sore; arms—sore. [...]
