“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He is confident of his basic worth as an individual, as a writer, and even finally as a wife in relationship to you. But when he relates to the world at large, his first unfortunate reaction is a panic that is derived from psychological and emotional heritage, environmental as he picked up his mother’s distrust of the outside.

He was certainly encouraged, and by his mother, to pursue the ways of inward intellectual freedoms, up to a point; but he was early inculcated with the expectation that the outside world meant danger at the least, and tragedy more probably.

I know that this next suggestion will meet protests on both of your parts, for what you suppose to be practical reasons. Nevertheless, because of your particular constitutions, small vacations should definitely become a part of your yearly existence; and when you expect them, the means for them will come. But faith must be shown.

This has been lacking with Mark, for one, presently away. It is not Mark, necessarily, only that the unobtrusive but frequent, informal exchange between you and Ruburt and a close friend from the outside world has been lacking. This sort of relationship with someone you both find congenial is a psychic breath of fresh air, in that it provides outlets and psychic interchanges that are extremely important.

You will have to strike a balance. Too many influences of this nature would be distracting, but some are definitely necessary; and again now, I would suggest that you invite a few congenial visitors to your home. Telepathically and through the inner senses, you pick up extremely valuable and diversified data in this manner, that is enlightening and helpful to the subconscious, and broadens the psychic base of awareness.

I am not going to hold a regular session this evening, but will end it soon.

(End at 10:26. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she felt that Seth could have continued indefinitely but was taking it easy on us because we were tired. I remarked that I felt okay, and that I could continue for a while if anyone wanted to.

Often, as a postscript, you will personally block inner data of your own because of your own psychological connotations, but you will accept the same basic material telepathically from another source, such as a friend.

I mentioned earlier that he is more in need of a vacation than you are, as last year the situation was reversed. His need is not as pressing as yours was then, but it is pressing nevertheless. Physical activity will be good. Any creative physical improvements in the apartment will help. He has attempted much more fully than ever to meet what he considers his responsibilities than ever before willingly, and can use an exuberance. Exuberance to him indeed is a safety valve, and all in all an excellent one when kept within bounds.

Expectation on his part of the house to some degree at least provided this. His tendency, both for undisciplined reactions and for habitual discipline, seem contradictory, but represent merely counterbalances in his nature. He could, conceivably, act with no discipline, but he could also conceivably deny himself any freedom at all, and hide within schedule and habit.

Discipline is necessary for him, but fear could lay the discipline on with too strong a hand.

My dear friends, I will end the session now. But I will peek in on you before Monday, and my best wishes are always with you.
