“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I understand precisely what it is that I must do. I must take singing lessons and we must have a prayer meeting, and then you will feel that have [sic] done something. If I told you that I would sing for you, then I do believe you would all be here “en force.” I do not make any such promises, however.

Our Lady of Florence, you do not have to fight so hard for it! It is there all the time whether or not you realize it and it sustains you whether or not you realize it.

I have not said “Good evening” but I am now saying “Good evening.” There were two points I wanted to make. The development of which I spoke involved two students who are not now so involved. I certainly expect our “Dean” (Theodore) to continue with his own development. This involved automatic writing with someone who is not now so proficient. I also expect another member of the class to come awake in the dream state and to do very well after two years. I tell you all this to let you know that there is hope.

There are no magical properties involved. The same benefits could be achieved in many other ways, but in your cases they are connected with the class. I almost hesitate to tell you, for you will think you will skip out of here like six-year-olds. The fact is that you are managing the physical composition of your bodies in a much more efficient way than you did before, as a result of your changing ideas, so that the cells themselves are more lively. Their movement—the movement within the cells is more flexible. To some extent you are rejuvenating your physical images. This applies to some of you more than to others, according to how thoroughly you are accepting and utilizing the ideas, for the inner youth and vitality is not primarily physical but only materialized in physical ways. And now, I do bid you a good evening and a Happy New Decade.

I will say that you are afraid to move (job). You want to leave your present position and you are afraid to leave your present position; and so you have symbolized the dilemma through the condition in your foot. When you decide that you are free to move, the foot will then clear up. Do you have any other questions?

There is a difference. This one (Rachel) feels utterly dependent upon the position in which she spends her days and, therefore, it has primary importance. Vera’s attitude is different and, therefore she will not take one organ or position of the body and so strongly use it as a symbol. You will have instead symptoms and an overall undifferentiated feeling. She will not incapacitate herself in that manner. This is a tangent to your own position also. The immediacy, the feeling of urgency, is not here in the same way that it is over here (Rachel). The same freedom, however, is involved. You need to realize that you are (Vera) completely free to so change your position. Whether or not you change it is not important. That you feel completely free to change it is important. If the dilemma continued for any length of time, you could then develop a chronic ailment, though not of an incapacitating manner. The freedom and the feeling of freedom to move is the most important aspect in both cases. Do you follow me?

Do you have any more questions?

—you must have the feeling that you are free to quit the job and the faith that other positions will be available to you. Your feeling is based upon the fear that you will not find another position. When you realize that other positions are open to you, if you believe that they are, then you are free to choose. It is the fear that is behind your lack of movement. Do you follow me?

There are two possibilities. When the advantages no longer outweigh the disadvantages, then it is sheer stupidity to hang on by your teeth to prove that you can do so. That answers that question very nicely. I can always set up my own employment agency, but where I would send you, you would not go.
