“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now some of this has to do with some information given to you by Joseph last evening—Joseph is your friend Robert—having to do with your ideas of health and illness. You must learn to understand your motives and even with the hypnotic ability that your husband has, you still have not learned to understand your own motives using that tool. The fear of reincarnation is again a shield for another fear that you have not faced that has nothing to do with reincarnation but has charged the word reincarnation to you. The fear is not connected with reincarnation per se, but as long as you believe, unconsciously, that this is so, you will react in that manner. You can use the tool of hypnosis to a far greater degree than you are using it.

You can become far more aware of your own thoughts and far more aware of your own honest attitudes. Often you do not approve of them, or they frighten you, and you shove them down into the other portions of your mind. There they can indeed do damage. If you get into the habit, however, of tuning into your own stream of consciousness you will find the person that sometimes will seem quite a stranger to you. And that person will be yourself. You will not only shove down ideas that seem negative, however, you will also shove down feelings of generosity, particularly toward people that you do not like, feelings of joy because you feel too guilty to think you should feel joy. You will shove down all kinds of impulses, and so you will not know yourself, and you will block off impulses that you really should accept, recognize and admit as portions of yourself.

(To Arnold.) Your dream was valid. You were correct about your dream. You have no idea.

(To Daniel.) And for our friend over here, and not really for him but for our long-faced friend who is not present tonight (meaning Ron), Ruburt will go for any tests that are fun. That means any tests that he likes the idea of, so you can pass the word along.
