“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am taking this incident as an example, but my remarks are to you both, for you both have much room for improvement in this respect. It is true that I am not concerned directly, so you may think that it is easy for me to speak to you both in this way. However it is because I am not directly concerned that I can see the problem and point out ways in which it can be solved. For there will always be such difficulties, and a habit of concentrating upon them could be most disadvantageous.

Incidents of this nature may seem trivial. However patterns of behavior are extremely important, and such focus upon disturbances are directly opposed to all I have been trying to tell you. And I am speaking here only of one individual, but such reactions are also picked up by others on a subconscious basis, and the circle can be a vicious one.

You both know this I am sure, as a rule you both do fairly well in following a more healthy procedure. But the lessons must be put into practice or they are worthless.

Obviously reason must be used. I am not speaking of indiscriminate Pollyanna hogwash, and yet even that is more practical in the long run than any habitual concentration upon disturbances.

I am not accusing either of you of such habitual activities, but because of our relationship I do feel bound to mention such issues as they arise. You should know, both of you by now, that I have your best interests always in mind.
