“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now—now you are on the correct issue. It was an accomplishment because you started from scratch, so to speak. Consciously the whole affair annoyed you no end. You saw it as a grumpy old machine, with its best days finished. But you put to excellent use the advice which I gave you, concerning the importance of psychological reactions.

(See pages 187-89 of the 220th session for the advice Seth refers to.)

(The 220th session, containing Seth’s advice, was held while the car was in the garage the first time. After the session I made a conscious effort to improve my attitude about the car. By then I had the idea that psychological attitudes could affect the car, and had recalled that once before Seth had dealt with the car and our attitudes while on our way to a Maine vacation in August 1964. See the 80-81st sessions. According to Seth, Jane and I had succeeded in altering considerably the car’s oil consumption; and as evidence we had before us the fact that the car had used much less oil on the trip than we had calculated. See Volume 2.)
