“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has not been experimenting with psychological time since Seth suggested she stop at the time of her prolonged trance state of March 15.

(Also about my illness: Seth doesn’t like to give warnings of future events, particularly when they may be only strong possibilities, yet avoidable. In these cases the suggestion itself could, under some conditions, bring the events about.

Your reactions at such times are not good for yourself, and your reactions are not good at such times for the conditions which bring them about. Such reactions actually worsen the conditions that you would change. I am not suggesting that you adopt a bland, idiotic, male Pollyanna smile, nor that you shout love, prosperity and health from the rooftops while the world below is steeped in poverty and ignorance.

I suggest your break. How do you like my pill?

I suggest your break.

Her anxiety is high upon such occasions. I suggested that Ruburt bring up the mail for her, to cover that period of possibility. He did so. The fall did not occur. But the strong possibility for it did exist.

I know that you wanted me to explain. I am extremely cautious as far as giving warnings, since suggestion could play a part in bringing about the event which looms, merely as an unfortunate possibility, but not definitely as an actuality.

(Also see the first page of this session for material on the power of suggestion. For other material on suggestion and related subjects like illness, see the 68th, 98th, 99th & 120th sessions.)

It is true that what will occur, in your terms, has already occurred in other terms, and that it is possible to perceive beyond your now into your so-called future. But here I am very careful of tampering, for tampering with “your” present tampers with “your” future. I suggest that in the last sentence you place the word your in quotes.

I am going to suggest also that Ruburt continue with the procedure as far as psychological time is concerned, that is, that he lets it go until I tell him otherwise. The experience, the subjective experience, of the last session, on Ruburt’s part, was meant as a practical demonstration of the limitless self. I am very pleased that we did so well with it, and various other such controlled experiments can be expected in the future.

At any time that you may wish it, you can indeed make up sessions. However, I will not suggest it. It is up to you.
