“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Jason.) Now, first of all, your enthusiasm and your energy, these qualities are good. I would like you, however, to realize the strong emotional content within your own mind and you in yours. You do not have all of your reincarnational backgrounds and one life in particular may surprise you considerably. There is a reason why you were in the particular spiritual predicament in which you found yourself for there are always reasons. Those who set up laws and rules and regulations often find themselves confronted with those laws and rules and regulations in other lives and through their own struggle then, to escape from these, then they learn that the laws and rules and regulations were not beneficial. If you have a strong emotional feeling of this nature, then ask yourself for the reason behind it.

You said earlier you were still learning and searching, and I am simply telling you to continue to do so and to make sure that you also search those attitudes of yours of which you are most certain. This is the portion, you see, that can so easily escape your examination. You are angry at what you have done to yourself because in a past life you had much to do with the organization that you do not now like. There is nothing of guilt in this. I am not telling you to feel guilty for the past. I am simply trying to explain to you those inner motives that also operate. What you feel is legitimate but it is also charged heavily because of your own past existence—so, if I am warning you, I am simply warning you gently. And I am smiling. I am trying to get these muscles to smile so when you listen to the recording, and if the voice sounds harsh, then remember that the mechanics are not simple either.

You have done very well. As you know, you are beginning an important venture, and that is why I want you to examine your feelings and motives now. You have done so, but you have not examined the specific attitudes of which I am speaking. You have taken them for granted as beginning in this life and as a result of this life’s experience. Now, you have always been involved with churches, and you are only now learning to relieve inner truths outward without dogma. This also has something to do, as you see, with the dream. You fear again the old bugaboo would return.

You can free yourself by letting go. You must let go without trying as hard as you have. Relax about the affair. Do not try desperately to let go. Do you see the difference, because it is important that you do. Give me a moment. You must learn to release her completely from your own thoughts, the habitual thoughts that you have concerning her you must change, even though at this point your thoughts seem completely legitimate and in line with physical reality as you know it. You must change the situation completely, for the better, in your own mind. See it change, imagine it change. Do not keep checking against the physical reality that you know to see whether or not it has changed, for particularly in the beginning, this can lead you astray or make you feel you are getting nowhere; but if you change the situation in your own mind you will change it in physical reality.
