Session 346: Mind-Body Mastery and Cosmic Career Coaching

Recorded on the evening of June 14, 1967. In this session, Seth (the personality essence no longer focused in physical reality) gives us the lowdown on Jane Roberts (referred to as Ruburt) and her journey through some intense physical and mental shifts.

This isn't just dry theory; it’s a deep dive into how our thoughts literally cook up chemicals in our bodies. Grab a snack, maybe some peanut butter (Seth’s recommendation!), and let's get into the details.

The Psychology of "All-In"

Ruburt doesn't do things halfway. Seth points out that Jane’s biggest strength—her intense focus—was also the thing causing her some temporary drama.

  • Zero to One Hundred: When Ruburt is down, he is all the way down. Seth notes, "When he feels desolate, therefore, the desolation you see is almost complete to him."
  • Flexibility is the Goal: He’s been a bit rigid, but he’s finally learning to bend so he doesn't break. This new flexibility is going to make the future sessions even more powerful.
  • Loyalty vs. Bitterness: While Ruburt is unswervingly loyal to Joseph (Robert Butts), he’s also been holding onto some unswerving bitterness toward people from his past. He’s learning to swap that bitterness for understanding.

The Chemistry of Chill

Seth gets surprisingly scientific here, explaining how mental rigidity actually messes with your internal lab.

  • The Chemical Cocktail: A trend toward self-destruction led to an overproduction of adrenaline and a chemical Seth calls "pectorin" (or something close to it). This caused swelling and a "heavy limb" feeling.
  • The "All Clear" Signal: The good news? "The alarms are off." Because the mental climate changed, the body is already reversing these conditions.
  • Thyroid Vibes: Ruburt’s thyroid was acting up because he was scared of his own history, but now it’s back to normal, and his body is actually using the food he eats again.

Dealing with the "Parental Program"

A lot of Ruburt’s physical symptoms, like the middle-of-the-night stiffness and crooked arms, were basically a "greatest hits" collection of childhood fears involving his mother.

  • The Morning Struggle: Fears of being immobile in bed came from watching his mother and aunt struggle to get moving in the morning.
  • The Arm Issue: The crooked arms were tied to a fear of being in a wheelchair like his mother, combined with the stress of not having his "Dream Book" finished.
  • The Sun/Dress Connection: He even avoided buying "shifts" (dresses) because of a mental image of his mother in the sun. Talk about deep-rooted fashion trauma!

Seth’s Pro-Tips for Health and Wealth

Seth isn't just about the "why"; he’s about the "how." Here’s the prescription for a better life:

  • The Peanut Oil Rub: Once a day, rub peanut oil on your elbows, shoulders, and knees. It’s got an extract that lubricates the joints. Also, eat raw peanuts and peanut butter. It’s basically joint juice.
  • Breakfast Tweaks: Go for plain apricot juice. It’s better than orange juice, which is too acidic when you're having milk and cereal.
  • The Water Cure: For vacation, Seth insists on a place with a large body of water. The ocean is healing, and driving along the seashore is a must.
  • Career Hustle: It’s time to go all-in on the "Dream Book" and psychic classes. "He will literally soak up affection now as he soaks up the sun," and that energy will fix the financial situation too.
