“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This next may sound Pollyannaish to an extreme, but he should make it a point to help another human being in any small way, without expecting thanks, three times a week. I do not suggest, you see, that he do this on purpose daily, lest it develop psychologically into a self-sacrificial ritual. And I also most strongly suggest that three times a week in a very quiet, disciplined but positive manner, he makes it a point to express himself when any matters arise where he holds a diverse opinion from the one being presented.

With such a firm foundation he will indeed be most successful, and he can achieve such a foundation. Then he can apply inner knowledge to the ego’s environment. The feet of the ego, of any ego, must not rest on quicksand, or when the venturing self returns there will be no sound foundation to receive him.

If this sounds difficult then indeed it is, because I will not deal in platitudes, and the exercise of the inner abilities demand, as a bulwark, the sometimes difficult achievement of an ego that can adapt itself in the outer environment, and so hold its own while the inner self is then freed to go its way.
