“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.

This time I cemented a collection of used U.S. postage stamps, still on original paper, to a folded piece of white paper. See my tracing on page 250. I sandwiched this paper between two pieces of bristol board to prevent identification by touch, and slipped the assemblage into the usual two envelopes.

When he is working his plunge into creativity is deep. It is not in his nature to go halfway. If he had taken more time off completely, he would not be in his present position.

It will not do if he resents the time he thinks is lost in relaxation or other pursuits. His intuitive nature will respond easily and enthusiastically when he stops trying to beat it into submission.

The psychological-time experiments should also be suspended. When the conscious mind is so diverted the intuitions can do their work. You did well Joseph, teaching him discipline, but as he never goes halfway, so sometimes he learns his lessons too well. One point here also: you pace yourselves differently in your work.
