(I’m just waiting,” Jane said at 9:19, after we’d been sitting for the session for perhaps fifteen minutes. “Come on, Seth, for Christ’s sake,” she said, with unintentional humor. “It really bothers me when I don’t start a session within a reasonable time: I wonder what kind of a block is there, you know….” Then: “I think that right now there’s some material I sense, but it hasn’t fallen into the right slot yet.

(Pause.) When I speak of impulses, many of you will automatically think of impulses that appear contradictory or dangerous or “evil” — and that is because you are so convinced of the basic unworthiness of your being. You have every right to question your impulses, to choose among them, to assess them, but you must be aware of them, acknowledge their existence, for they will lead you to your own true nature. This may involve a lengthy journey for some of you, with your belief systems, for many of your impulses now are the result of the pressure caused by perfectly normal unacknowledged ones in the past. But your impulses reflect the basic impulse of your life. Even if they appear contradictory at any given time, overall they will be seen to form constructive patterns toward action that point more clearly towards your own clear path for fulfillment and development.

Every time you affirm the rightness of your own existence, you help others. Your mental states are part of the planet’s psychic atmosphere.

(“Yes. Tonight I just did it to do it,” Jane said. “I have sessions now at times when I wouldn’t have bothered to in the past. I was getting stuff from Seth before the session, but I haven’t the slightest idea of what he said in the session itself — I don’t remember anything. But it was good, huh?”)
