“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all personally: You, Joseph, have acquired an unjustified sense of inferiority as far as not only your dealings with your parents are concerned, but also concerning your dealings with the outside world; and even, for what unknown reason, with your dealings with your own talent.

This experience alone with me will yield financial benefits, but not because you would naturally like it to be so, but because you are expanding, and for some other allied causes. As far as parents are concerned, face it. You were saddled with rather troublesome ones, and for reasons which I will go into sometime later; but not involving guilt of any sort.

You had no problems with parents in the past, and my dear Yo-yo, you were an excellent father to me at one time, and if I may say so at one time I was an excellent father to you.

As a son you were helpful, considerate and kind. Your troubles with your present parents have absolutely nothing to do with you as a personality in any way. They involve something entirely different, problems that they themselves have not worked out in the past.

I will go into this more deeply. Needless to say these problems have to do with you not at all, really, but with your present parents’ particular distorted way of looking at the outside world. It is basically inadequate and harmful to them, and when you judge yourself not against your own healthier ideas, but against their unhealthy attitudes, you are inadvertently judging yourself harshly.

To me this is all so obvious that I almost hesitate to mention it, but this is because I tend to forget what human existence on your plane actually involves. These are but one set of parents. As a parent yourself you performed exceedingly well, and as a son also. You see, when you really realize the sum of yourself these problems will fade entirely, but please in the meantime take my word for it.

On the other hand he can use the experience, and nothing is lost to any great degree. However, this unjustified sense of inferiority should be conquered to some large extent, now that you realize that what you feel as your parents’ disapproval of you is not based upon any inferiority.

When you give in to it you do become immobilized to some degree, and therefore incapable of true dissociation. Then you cannot help them, and this to you then seems a further demonstration of inadequacy. The circle is vicious. I repeat: In all your past lives you dealt with the problems of both parenthood and childhood well, in relation to your own parents. This present trouble is a result of your parents’ inabilities and false conceptions, and of your own over-conscientiousness resulting from your Denmark life.

Joseph, you have helped your parents in more ways than I can tell you now, and given them more comfort than they can consciously admit. They even to some degree resent the comfort, but this is not your fault. You saved your father’s sanity at one point, and no one else could have done it.

I am now in contact with your parent’s entity and he tells me that subconsciously even his present personality, that is your father, appreciates this fact and loves you deeply. He himself, that is your father’s entity, feels no pain because of the present personality’s problems, since he is working out so many necessary kinks.
