“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. First of all, my greeting to Marleno. She is always welcome. There is on her part a block, that operates in much the same manner as Ruburt’s ego on occasion, as far as our sessions are concerned. This is caused by an inner willingness to believe, though this is a bad word, in the legitimate nature of my existence; a willingness however that is sometimes so desperate, if you will forgive the term, and so wholehearted, that it sets up automatic barriers on the part of other portions of the personality.

I am not frightening now, am I? I am indeed as peaceful as a tired old dove with battered wings, and a beak smoothed down. This does not mean that in time you cannot yourself knock down this particular barrier.

Now generally speaking, such emotional responses set up electromagnetic forces. These forces in a large measure form boundaries inside which is a general, or generalized, field or system to which the individual will respond. The emotional blockage sets up barriers however whose main purpose is to protect the individual from anything that he considers at all unsafe or threatening, or simply unpleasant.

We are simply seeing what we can accomplish with these barriers set up as they are, and without attempting to manipulate them ourselves.
