“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Joel) I have a few remarks for you and it is this. You depend upon her to do all this questioning for you for it releases your mind and you can go into your trance in an easier manner. You know that she will be highly critical and, therefore, she saves you the burden, the added burden, of questioning yourself. This releases you to go into your trance. In the back of your mind the two of you have made a bargain.

Now this bargain does not only have to do with your psychic work but to your entire life situation and in a way you have the same goals but you have a division of labor that you have subconsciously decided upon. You want to be cautious, yet you want to find out what there is about the nature of reality and in this implied bargain you are the one who will make the inroads or seem to go ahead to have the freedom and spontaneity to do so. As our past sessions show in class, you also have a strong sense of responsibility. Now at this time, it seems too much to bear both at the same, and so our friend here is being the critical one for you and then you can free yourself for this trance work knowing that any questions of a critical nature that you might have will be asked by her and, therefore, you will feel free to go ahead.

Now she also has a great inner interest and so for her and for both of you, you are traveling these inward roads for both of you and she is carrying on the critical aspects for both of you. You could not be burdened if you thought them through with these deep questions of criticism for they could send you back to a rigid attitude. I am saying that you have a good working relationship that will change and be flexible in time.

([Joel:] “I just wondered if the first signs of this was after Bill began speaking. I was going through a lot of soul searching and this has tapered off and yet her criticism hasn’t tapered off and I wondered if that is why I have been able to get into it a little more relaxed?”)
