“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Again, we are involved with the necessity for a delicate balance between spontaneity and discipline. Considering the circumstances and all in all, Ruburt handled himself very well.

As a rule Ruburt’s ego will jealously guard its interests. When he feels it shout at him it is good to lessen the pace during the rest of the session, as he attempted to do. The wording of any suggestions is very important, however. The phrase, “I will progress safely”, is an excellent one to use, since it allows for continuation and progress balanced by safety.

There are always new things to be learned as new levels are reached, new controls to be mastered, new balances to be maintained, new disciplines that must be adopted; and initially this does involve a natural, added exertion of energy and increased activity, before the whole self learns to deal with the new level, and is comfortable in its manipulations.

For the present Ruburt’s ego will exert balancing resistance, like an anchor perhaps, or a weight. However the inner self has also tasted new freedom, so there will be a brief jolting while the relationships and forces work themselves out to achieve a new, integrated balance.

It is a matter of Ruburt’s own forces, that must always work in balance. Some rather harmless diversities of purpose, and temporary imbalance, may most probably be expected at various times while the whole self becomes acquainted with a new level of achievement.
