“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is no doubt, however, that at times Ruburt becomes quite frightened, and the fear of course represents the fear that still lingers concerning the nature of spontaneous action. Rigidity is drained from the body by such methods. He is safe, supported and protected—that is, of course, the message that he is trying to get through his head at this time. You can be of help to him by reminding him of that support and protection. The body knows what it is doing (emphatically).

Ruburt’s body is allowing itself to relax, particularly on the couch when his back is supported. Tension is being relieved, and often this sudden lessening of tension also frightens him. It is excellent therapy on the part of the body, of a fairly temporary nature. Its breaks down, however, many strong elements of control after control continually being applied. These are of excellent benefit.

(9:26.) The same advice, with suitable variations, could be given to anyone, of course, and be equally pertinent. His energy will flow through him easily and naturally and safely as he perceives that such is nature’s way. (Long pause.) You have been of excellent support of late. Allow yourself at times to imagine, at least, an important portion of your own creative self as innocent, sweet (gesture), and natural as that young Butts boy relative (Steve). That is, think of that childish self as eagerly exploring the world, for that is certainly a part of man’s heritage.

Right now, I feel you and I and the house and the whole bit supported by some great force that swirls around the house and the trees and through my body, so that it circulates through my blood. And I really feel that according to whatever terms we want to use, this is God’s great motion, moving and supporting me. Just as it moves and supports all of the earth. [...]

[...] I feel supported in that manner. I feel Robby and the house and our entire existences supported in the same way—and this, I know, is part of the magical feeling that Seth talks about. [...]

I think that all art is created at that level—that is, with that sense of support that isn’t our own alone but a part of the great force that sustains all of life. [...]

[...] Rob said something earlier tonight about the letter from John Nelson seeming to be a good sign—and it is a sign, and a potent one, and I feel that Rob’s working on Seth’s book, and my own writing and my own bodily behavior are supported, again, by that great motion, which moves us in the proper directions for us. [...]

[...] The child expects the parents to come to its support in the same way that it expects its own fingers and toes to support its various positions and decisions. [...]

[...] (Pause at 9:32.) The children participate in their own dimensions of natural divinity to a large-enough extent that they feel themselves automatically supported within the presence of an ever-acting comprehensive trust and love. [...]

[...] Your intent to put these ideas to work builds an inner psychological support, and the more you act upon the beliefs the more that support grows.

[...] Such desires and the challenges mean that you are provided with additional energy and support in Framework 2, but you must have the faith that this is so, and that faith will allow you to draw upon it.

Emotional support, such as that almost nonchalant (long pause) yet commonplace kind that happened this afternoon, is important. Such encounters provide an emotional support that cements feelings with your fellow beings, and that in a fashion helps minimize in the present some of the defects of Ruburt’s childhood relationship with his mother. This also applies to your small group of friends and students, where the idea is one of friendly support and understanding. [...]

[...] What is wanted is another matrix or support from which the personality can assimilate still newer knowledge, and continue to develop—generally speaking—with a sense of relative freedom. [...]

There will be a good response to both Ruburt’s book and mine, which will also serve in a supportive way. [...]

The church was a support in the household against his mother. When the poetry was thus criticized, Ruburt was afraid the support would be withdrawn. [...]

[...] A concerted effort should be made to gain the support of the part of him who understands. [...] Part of this has to do also with the fact that his complete support in St. Vincent’s Catholic orphanage was carried on by a religious order. [...]

[...] Through being made aware of these facts, the exterior ego can begin to feel a quicker sense of support and nourishment. [...]

[...] The inner ego (long pause) draws instant and continuous support from the universal consciousness, and the more the exterior ego keeps that fact in mind, the greater its own sense of stability, safety, and self-esteem.

[...] The same feelings and beliefs should also ideally (underlined) help you die with a sense of safety, support and assurance. While these inbred psychological supports never leave you entirely, they are often diminished by beliefs encountered later in life, that serve to undermine the individual’s sense of safety and well-being.

Next: I am eternally couched and supported by the universe of which I am a part, and I exist whether or not that existence is physically expressed.

[...] It seems the folded pillow under her left leg acts as a handy fulcrum for leg movements, offering her some support and confidence when she starts moving. But when she lifts her foot off the bed, the leg is clear of the pillow support.

[...] I offered support, touching her right arm without interfering with motion. [...]

[...] As long as she is certain of your loyalty and support, then she is a firm foundation upon which you may all build. [...] —However, I will say here that large portions of her energy are diverted to provide supportive help physically for all members of the family. [...]

[...] Now, it is she who provides strongly a supportive atmosphere in which you work. [...]

Ruburt in this life also was alone, without that supportive framework. (Pause.) The framework about him as a child was not supportive, but threatening. [...]

[...] Long pause.) The family had its severe disadvantages, but you were certain of its framework, which was to some extent at least, supportive.

In times of stress he looks to it for support. [...]

[...] It is actually at those levels that the world of material activity is ordered and supported. [...]

Your person-to-person encounters with reality have been unusually supportive of late: Adams, Frank, your new friends the Germans, and even your encounter with the photographer. [...]

(Long pause.) At deeper levels you are being sent support and energy from all of those people, known and unknown, who have your best interests at heart. [...]

A building, or a part of a building where they stay, now, where there is a long narrow section, a roof supported, a flat roof, I believe, long and narrow, supported by posts—

(“Verandah, long and narrow, flat roof, supported by posts, where we stay.”)

[...] It is closer to the truth, however, to say — in that regard, at least — that nature is man’s caretaker; or that man exists, physically speaking, as the result of the graceful support of nature and all of its other species. [...]

You may not consider trust an attribute connected with reasoning, but it is indeed, for it represents the creature’s innate understanding of the support with which it has been gifted. [...]

[...] So let him be just as impressed — in fact, more impressed — at the body’s natural healing processes, that will naturally flow and are naturally flowing when he allows himself to trust his life and the support of his own being.

[...] If (doubly underline) you can manage, it would be good for you to oversee Ruburt’s exercises—or perhaps even do some with him; again, to add to the sense of excitement and support. [...]

He was ashamed of needing you to do this for him initially, yet realized your support was necessary at that point. [...]

(10:06.) Now: your money paid in taxes will go to support a system that, when all is said and done, presently, tries to support its citizens despite all its weaknesses and stupidities. It does, as Ruburt thinks often, support other poor but gifted youngsters, and poor and ungifted youngsters (with amusement). [...]

[...] It will be used to support people or ventures that in one way or another seek goals that are in line with our work. [...]

In your terms, you are hanging out in space with nothing to support you and our friend here would be terrified of falling. You know that the physical floor does not support you, but you must pretend that the physical floor supports you or you would be dizzier than you are. [...]

[...] Rob very supportive.

(After supper Jane began experiencing a profound, heavy, liquid, watery and supportive kind of relaxation throughout her right side from head to toe. [...] She told me she felt cushioned and supported, and my estimate was that she was undergoing an increase in circulation, along other things, and that it was all to the good. [...]

This will allow the body to dismiss some of the alternate muscular cooperation set up, that served to support the body under poor conditions. [...]

[...] There are various degrees of pressure in the body, supporting the organs, joints, and so forth. [...]

[...] These form a partial basis for your subjective and physical existence, and provide the needed support for it.

[...] You have “another line” of existence that also serves as a support for the one that you presently recognize. [...]

A third line supporting your selfhood as you think of it is the reincarnational one.⁹ This is somewhat like the ancestral line (long pause), and there are also reflections in the genes and chromosomes undetected by your scientists. [...]

[...] But you often pretend that you are some odd dangling leaf, with no roots, growing without a plant to support you.
