“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now this is indeed a loving endeavor! You are not left alone or abandoned... but the inner truths that turn you on are not to be found in the exterior universe... but within yourself. These meanings are not dificult to find—they are within you, and you can cease blocking them. Now you must give us a moment.

I told you once (to Florence)—and I tell you all—in your quiet moments to say “Who am I?” And listen—listen then. Do not answer yourself. But listen. And the answers will come to you. And this is nourishment. You cut yourselves off from such nourishment—as if a flower said, “I will not accept the rain because I do not understand it—and, intellectually I do not know what makes it rain and, therefore, I will not accept the rain.” Or, “I do not know what the sun is; therefore, I will not accept its rays.” And so the flower would be destroyed in its form.

And if the life force did not sustain you, then you could cry, “I am I!” to nothing, for there would be no self to cry. Each of us is dependent upon the spirit of life—without which there is no life—without which there is no vitality—and no song and no mind to question. The cells within your fingers know this reality and this joy. Let it then fill your own being! Listen to the knowledge within the cells of your fingers and they will teach your intellect what joy is—and from this your intellect can learn to sing! Include yourself in with the vitality of the universe, you cannot say no to it. And even when you say “no” to it, you are shouting “yes” as long as you live! Then shout yes with joy -the cells of your body shout yes.

Your humor can be your salvation if you do not use it meanly. It can be your salvation in many ways. Now. I have told you that the answers to your problem, and to your problems, must come from within yourself. Those answers which are given to you easily are not your own answers. Therefore, they are not answers.

Your own development comes as a result of your own decisions—not when you follow the glib advice of others. Psychic ability should help you know yourself—and discover your own strengths—and act upon them. It should not be used as a crutch to reinforce weakness nor feelings of escape.

Ruburt has told you what I will say: You must know that you can hold your own in the universe that you know at this time. You must know that you can hold your own in a relationship. To run pell-mell into another relationship will be no answer—for you will not have solved those problems that have caused your present dilemma. Now this is all I will say for now. But again, the answers are there—and they are within yourself—and for your own development, it is you who must seek them from yourself and find them. (I am referring to “another” relationship, but the same applies to your present wife.)

Imagine, as a simple technique, that you are what you are—a consciousness with all the potentials of development—even those potentials that you do not understand. For it is only you that set up limitations. Your self is infinite. If you would but realize this fact, then you could begin to experience joy and your true identity. And it is not difficult—if you ask yourself—“Who am I?”—and listen for the answer. Then, the answer will come in terms of subjective experience.
