“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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?

([Rachel:] “Seth, let me ask you—I have a feeling though—if I don’t solve this problem before I quit it, I won’t have the self-satisfaction of solving a problem.”

—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?
