“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Her dentist was so puzzled by her exceptionally good reactions that in the middle of the session Jane had to explain her apparent insensitivity to pain; usually it takes two trips for her to achieve the same results, with the use of Novocain. Today she had no anesthetic of any kind, and in addition her dentist reported he was able to do a much more thorough job.

(Jane called the store Monday, and was told the package had been found. I drove her down to the store for it Monday evening. She plans to use these two experiences in her ESP book. Jane tells me that she now has little talks with her subconscious, requesting its help. I have been experimenting also with subconscious communication, at times with excellent results, and also using the permissive “I can” approach, rather than the commanding “I will” approach.

He spoke to his subconscious therefore as a partner and an equal, which indeed it is. It was because of this approach, among other things, that the results achieved were so successful. Nor after stating his case did he then badger the subconscious.

The personal subconscious and the ego are indeed equal partners in the formation of any given present personality. Ruburt’s results are evidence that his training is bearing fruit. Once such a relationship is set up between the ego and the subconscious, then communication in general between the two will always improve. The subconscious, even the personal subconscious, is much freer from the moment point than is the ego, and it can inform the ego of important developments which can be of great help.

This sort of communication also comes close to action in a fairly pure state. There is also another result of such relative ease of communication between the ego and the subconscious, in that the subconscious, which is listened to and taken into consideration by the ego, will have relatively little need to make its wishes known in other, perhaps less pleasant ways. Illnesses and various minor and major physical symptoms are often caused as the subconscious tries to speak out, in an effort to make itself heard by the unheeding conscious mind. If the conscious mind consults with the subconscious, such nagging or sometimes explosive efforts will not be needed.

These moment points, incidentally, serve as reference points often from one field of activity to another, as openings or entryways. Such a moment point has a peculiar molecular structure, that is a result of intensification of action, and basically has nothing to do with the moment point happening to coincide with what you call a physical moment.

It is, as a rule, lack of knowledge on the part of the ego as to the nature of reality, and its part in it, and the resulting fear, that often prevents a personality from accepting spontaneous expression of emotions in general. The capacity to feel is important. When one fears to experience seemingly unpleasant emotions, the personality also tends to set up an emotional pattern of rejection that seriously cuts down, also, not only on the expression but the very perception of joy.

This does not mean that the personality must be completely swept away by an emotion, though this is what such an ego fears. Emotion replenishes even the ego. Emotions demand resiliency, and resiliency is both the result of spontaneity, inner assurance, and discipline. All this is action, for the personality itself is composed of action, and is constantly changing. This is action, therefore, delighting in the expression and form of itself.
