“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It will be recalled that in the 185th session Seth gave me some tips on how to help my hay fever through suggestion upon retiring at night. It has been a rough season and I was very uncomfortable over the Labor Day weekend. I had been using suggestion at various times through the day; trying Seth’s method, I noticed an amazing improvement at once. I slept well the night of the 6th, and sneezed but five times the whole following day. The improvement has maintained itself, and soon now the season will be over. I can truthfully say the change in my condition has been magical. I am on a much-reduced dosage of my prescription antihistamine. I have learned I can do without it, but taking the drug removes the last of the lingering traces. For some reason, the suggestions given before falling off to sleep are very potent.

(Ever since mailing in the finished manuscript of her ESP book Jane has been very restless. She is very eager to get to work on her next project, but keeps struggling among many ideas, notes, etc. I suggested to her that she skip tonight’s session if she felt so nervous, but she decided to hold it regardless.

He has forgotten the daily joy that comes through simple observation of the day. I here suggest most strongly that until the following Monday at the earliest, he does not work at his writing or his records, that he does not consciously brood over them, and that he divert himself by changing the focus of his conscious awareness.

I suggest a break, and we will see what we can do.

It is very susceptible to suggestion. Ruburt’s jesting remark this evening that he would suggest refreshing dreams was actually an excellent one. The personality can indeed refresh itself in such a manner, and often does automatically.

I did have a suggestion myself, that involved some small effort on Ruburt’s part. It, if followed, would do him good however. It would be most beneficial for him to do some sketching at the riverbanks. The sketches could then be used for paintings.

It goes without saying that suggestion before sleep will also help. It is the ego that is rigid, not the subconscious.

I would, overall, suggest that Ruburt not return to work until spontaneously he desires to do so. This will happen rather quickly if he relaxes. Wait until an idea presses him for expression.
