“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In all cases that I know of, these women are indeed neurotic and misled and self-deluded. Nevertheless they harm no one. They listen where no one else will listen. They are well-meaning, and occasionally they are able to use their inner abilities.

For when your other friend is relating to the exterior environment, he does something that Philip does not do. He closes himself off entirely, as much as possible, from the inside environment. Philip insists, in a rather cocky manner, in taking his own inner integrity along. Your other friend cannot, so far, relate the inner and the outer selves. He can relate to the inner self or the outer self, but he has not learned to unite the two, nor allowed for any understanding or communication between them.

When he is at work he thinks “This is not me, this is not myself.” The inner self has not so far recognized this other portion of the personality. When our friend Philip sells he is thinking “This is me. You can like it or not, but buy what I am selling.” But he believes in what he is selling.

Your other friend sends a part of himself into the marketplace, and leaves the essential part of himself at home. He is an expert salesman. He enjoys selling. But he will not admit that he enjoys it to his own inner self. The ulcer is caused by many things, and we have discussed some of them.

Philip would do well in his home relationships to be more open, for there is a possibility that his secretiveness could here cause serious difficulties. The home relationship is a strong basis for his inner security, and if he threatens it this will be seriously reflected in his other areas of activity.
