There are those who make a practice of seeking aid from others, however, using this as a means of avoiding responsibility. In specific physical problems, help should be sought in areas in which you have little knowledge.

(A note pertaining to the material given just before break: In Chapter Nineteen Seth deals with reincarnation in a general sense, but he’s said little in this book about his psychic “connections” with Jane and me. There are references to such ties scattered through The Seth Material and Seth Speaks [see the 595th session in the Appendix of the latter] and we have a modest amount of unpublished information.

(Dialogues, a book of poetry, is described in the 639th session in Chapter Ten. Aspect Psychology, Jane’s own theoretical work on psychic matters, is referred to in the 618th session in Chapter Three, among others. It was born out of her writings on Adventures in Consciousness, as mentioned in Chapter Twenty-one of Seth Speaks, and incorporates that material.)
