“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, I have said this before: On the physical level, your problem is to find a position. You have done very well lately in meeting your appointments, and this is definitely an advance. On the psychological level, you need to know why the relationship between you and your wife continued as it was for so many years. Most of all you need to know yourself as an individual, with your good points and your failings. But, as long as you continually look to others for advice, you deny your own abilities.

([Florence;] “If we have relationships in our lives which are emotionally necessary—as Seth said was the case with Brad and his wife...”

Now, I asked our friend to question himself to discover why he felt it necessary to continue the relationship, and what emotional needs were being met. I did not imply that the needs were necessary, only that he felt they were and that he should discover the reasons why he felt these needs were necessary. I did not imply that the needs were necessary or unnecessary.

The relationship can indeed be begun again, but only under completely new terms, and only with self-knowledge on our friends part. Otherwise, the relationship will be continued and you will be no better off than you were before and worse. Self-knowledge on both of your parts is extremely necessary.
