“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This was a warning given by the personality himself. He frightened himself into returning to his body for he had been away from it too long. He was dilly-dallying where he did not belong, and he was getting into realities that did not concern him. He was like a truant so he caused the hallucination so that he would return to his body. Now the nature of the hallucination was his own doing. He used his own fears to cause the hallucination. He was not discriminate. He was not using his common sense. He knew it was time to return to the body, and he decided to stay out of it despite the nature of inclination to return, and so he made a nightmare for himself to frighten himself home like the errant boy that he was. And in almost all cases this is what occurs.

(To Laurie.) Now you are playing around in your haunted house. You are trying to see what you can do with psychic energy. That is well and good. You are like children playing with a ball except you have made the ball yourselves and then it will lead you on a merry chase. It is good exercise and healthy play. Just do not frighten yourselves if the ball bounces too high.
