[JUNE 12, 1974 10:01 PM WEDNESDAY]
(The following material is from the 703rd session.)
(Note: At about 9:00 tonight, Jane abruptly became aware of a marked improvement in her walking. Some muscles and/or tendons in the back of her right knee had released. Delighted, she spent the neat half hour walking back and forth across the living room. She stood a bit taller; her movements were somewhat quicker on her feet; she felt a "spring" in her step that had been missing for years.) [(11:40.)
The unknown reality: each of you in your own way have been involved in studying its dynamics. You have done this with your art; and began, in your terms, as a child of your parents with the teachings of that culture. So you started by drawing what you saw physically, and to some extent like the scientists you tried to capture the exterior appearance as faithfully as you could.
Form, shape and color---these at first delighted you as you tried to reproduce on paper what you saw in nature. Intuitively any real artist feels the spirit within matter, and unconsciously at least tries to ortray it. Some so-called objective painters, however, use the form to quite imprison the spirit within it. Your friend Larry (Herschaft) was quite perceptive, and your Dialogue sketches and the rock (face) show on your art a growth qualitatively of artistic understanding, and technique used to the service of inner realities.
The integrity of form is not denied, but is allowed to merge with the greater vitality that gives the form its meaning. This will allow you to give form, literally---in your terms at least---to the formless, or rather to realities whose inner forms are not usually fully perceived.
Nor is it any coincidence that this freedom and emergence on your part coincides with Ruburt's sure stages of recovery. Each of you, in your own ways and on the grounds that you chose , were dealing intimately with challenges as you tried to decipher the unknown reality and bring it into physical manifestation as best you could.
Ruburt by now should be able to see a certain "sequence," as previously hardened muscles begin to loosen. They are first sore. The soreness is a sign of life and vitality, of stimulation and response. Then they begin to move, though weakly; there are sensations of course of heat in all stages. After several days then new coordinations are set up--- then a feeling of ease and a growing strength.
When whole groups of muscles are involved other areas are also affected.
Give us a moment.... There are events in the inward world. He has been aware of a few, as in the instance mentioned in our last session. The hysical results this evening came directly from that inward event, though the physical results have only begun tonight to show themselves.
He should be able to become aware of other such inward events.
Bantam's " Speaks " will do very well, and so ultimately will Seven . Here also you are dealing with blueprints for reality. As you probably know, you will have no financial worries. Here, in that area excellent achievements have been made, and old beliefs overrode, that were important, concerning both art, society, and finances. This applies to both of you.
You (Jane and I) have to a large degree thrown aside old belief systems, and dared to rely upon ideas given largely to you by me.
These caused you to probe into the nature of your own beings in most intimate fashion, and yet were meant to lead you into that inner world of events--- because each of you wanted to take that chance, and make that journey.
I have heard each of you say, at one time or another, that you did not know if you would do it over again---if you knew that Ruburt would have developed his physical difficulties. Unthinking statement, for many eople---in fact, most---have in their own ways far more difficult roblems, and far less achievement, joy or understanding.
In other words, by the fact of physical existence, you will have some problems. In your cases you knew that the answers were ultimately within yourselves---a confidence few have.
The inner dynamics of being---physically materialized---presuppose challenges , and those are set adventurously, always with the knowledge of creativity, and of various solutions. Ruburt should look over his dream material again, to find further correlations between it and the stages of his recovery, further correlations between the inward and outward sequence of events.
He should now be able to perceive the Sumari physicians, and to become more aware of inward dynamics that ordinarily escape notice. It is also ossible now that he can perceive me at a certain level of the dream state, and apart from himself.
There are certain "auspicious" times, in your terms, for such intersections.
There are times when windows "appear in the heavens," when it is easy for you to get, say, to the moon in a spaceship---and so, again from your viewpoint, there are better times for psychological windows to open, and psychic pathways. So tell Ruburt.
Now he tried two or three times lately to get you out of your body, but you did not respond. Remind yourself that you can indeed easily be aware of such situations while you are "sleeping."
(Deeper:) And now I bid you a fond good evening. And congratulations to Ruburt.
("Thank you very much, Seth. Good night." 12:15 AM.)
