“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The results when they are received will appear spontaneous. To say “I am weightless,” as Ruburt does, simply reinforces the idea of bulk, and should be discarded. Your vacation will help, and you should really be carefree and relax if possible as children do.

By avoiding distractions you have often, in your work, given it duration. You do not fear such a seeming loss of identity when it involves an immersion of self in idea. You should not fear it either in psychological time experiments.

The idea should be an abstract philosophical concept. This at least, can be done by initial conscious intent. Contemplation of an abstract nature often leads further into valid psychic experience. You may try this for a change of pace. There must always be a balance between necessary conditioning, ritual and habit, and spontaneity, freedom, and what we will call instantaneous psychic relaxations.

Indeed, your own moments of so-called inspiration in your work, will be seen to follow such periods of immersion, from which the subconscious then acquires its inspiration. Any purposes you would like to achieve should be mentioned to the subconscious before such periods of sensuous immersion or contemplation, and then forgotten on a conscious level.

Too great a conscious focus upon these purposes gives a negative reaction of doubt and anxiety. I am not saying that you should not be at all consciously concerned with your purposes. A reminder to the subconscious as to your purposes, whether they are psychic or practical, will be most helpful before immersion such as a walk, and so forth.
