“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It appears that I have lectured you constantly, and I’m afraid of late in quite a dry, official manner. But in some session in the near future we will have a less formal and more friendly time. I am concerned with getting material to you, but I am also concerned that we do not lose the basic friendly nature of our communications.

It is possible to treat such disorders from a chemical standpoint, as is sometimes being done, but the acquired artificial chemical balance will in most cases not be maintained, because the inner self, the deep subconscious, has not been signaled that an error is being made. Ideally of course such an error should not occur. There are also reasons why the deep subconscious has allowed such difficulties to come about, and in most cases the basic reason here is a lack of understanding and communication between the various portions of the self, so that seemingly the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

The first treatment should always include the setting up, once more, of such communication, and we will have more to say later on this subject.

Existence within any field is more complicated than you dream either possible or reasonable. It depends upon simultaneous actuality in so many fields, and delicate balances and communications, the balances in all cases being determined by the efficiency of the communications.

As you know, at one time it was necessary for the ego to focus exclusively upon outer data, but the channels never closed between the inner self and the ego. The ways for communication between the two have been left open. If they had not been left open, man would have no knowledge at all, nor any hint, of his basic inner existence. There is no real dual state. The inner self will make itself known. For the species this present period is transitory, but the length of this period, if drawn out, could bring about results most unfortunate.
