“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Later, when he returned home, he learned that he must toe the mark again, or Welfare would put him in another home. He must not make waves. It was not safe to stand out. His food, clothing, and survival depended on toeing the mark. The church provided a family of sorts, but that family also was dependent upon religious obedience. Ruburt’s high spirits and abilities fought against such circumstances. He finally broke away from the church—running to college—a college considered by the church at the time as communistically inclined, antireligious, and so forth.

He fears the books will not sell, because he is afraid, as in childhood, that if you do not toe the line your sustenance will be taken away. Remind him that financially at least that not toeing the line has paid off very well indeed, and in your pendulum work inform the subconscious of that.

We must start with the fact that Ruburt did not feel secure as a child, but was made somewhat to feel responsible for his mother’s illness and breakup of her marriage. He was then sent to a home. He was a high-spirited child, and was taught there that he must toe the mark and do what the others did, or he would be punished.

His survival in college, since he had a scholarship, was dependent upon toeing the mark, and even then he refused to do so; and was quite unceremoniously kicked out on his independent ass.

[...] You have a sore toe. [...] You may find yourself looking at the toe more frequently than usual, and you may also find yourself picking out from the populace anyone who is not walking properly. These people might escape your notice ordinarily, but suddenly the world seems to be full of sore toes.

[...] But if you continued such concentration the toe either would not heal or would develop into a worse condition. [...]

[...] I see her toes moving in a way like they haven’t for many months. [...]

[...] Then the toes of both feet, then the feet at the ankles. [...]

(At 4:05 Jane’s whole left leg from the toes on up began to flex noticeably, as she continued to make her noises of pain-discomfort-effort. [...]

[...] She said that when she was alone in hydro this morning she felt her right foot [of the broken leg] lift up spontaneously at the toes. [...]

[...] “You can feel the right foot wanting to come up off the bed, but only the toes makes it....” [...]

(4:15.Big right toe flexing. [...]

[...] “Then my feet get hot,” she said, then exclaimed in pleasure, “Look how fast it’s going”—meaning her left big toe. Then all of her toes began to move to various degrees. [...]

[...] Then her knees wanted to get into the act, and her feet and toes. [...]

Body steadily has “dropping down” feelings—head to toe, particularly right side. [...]

(Now today Jane had no patches on either her right elbow or her little toes on her left foot. [...]

[...] She could feel it in her right leg—she cried out as a muscle spasm ran down the right leg to the toes. [...]

her beautiful manicured toes.

(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. [...] But a little later the big toes began to bend by themselves. [...]

[...] Shortly later—4 PM—ligaments behind both legs relax some more, delightful feelings of release to toes.

You do not need to be sad though, anymore than your big toe has to be a little toe before it understands what it is to be a big toe. Your big toe is smarter than you are. [...]

[...] I also massaged with Oil of Olay the toes of her feet, as Seth had mentioned doing. [...] Jane said the toe touching sent sensations up her legs — as Seth had said it would.

[...] It seems to be a sign that the bodily changes reach all the way down the legs to the toes. [...]

[...] Before the foot [like the right one] had looked immobile and wooden, the skin stretched taut and dry and splotchy; there wasn’t any flexion in the toes, say. [...]

[...] Jane grunted in discomfort, for now the smaller toes on her feet began to move a little —with the big toes—in a way I hadn’t seen them do before. [...]

(Jane did do a few minor motions after the session, and before I turned her—wriggling her toes. Indeed, she said the underside of the toes on her right foot tingled, as with added circulation; they were very sensitive to my touch as I massaged her with Oil of Olay after turning her on her side before supper. [...]

[...] And there’s the feeling of circular ripples from the small wheels, going all the way down to the right foot and toes; and with this, the feeling that these small wheels, circles, or clock-works have been too tight; constricted; and that these in the head are the “master ones” and as they release, motion is being restored to some degree all over. [...]

[...] “Now I’ve got that electric feeling in my toes—the one on my right foot next to the little toe prickles like crazy.” [...]

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

You had better all get on your toes and get to work or we will not have very many jolly comments. I do not come on tippy-toe like the white Easter bunny with a white floppy tail through the tulips! [...]

[...] These areas whatever they are, go through the right side of the body, downward; so that behind my right knee, for example, there is a sense of that mobility or easiness; and particularly in the right toe, though the entire right foot shares. [...]
