“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is this energy that he must utilize now to finish the two books he has begun. Quite literally again, all he has to do is demand that the energy is available, and it shall be. He uses this energy quite subconsciously in his psychic work. He must demand of himself that the energy be used however under various circumstances. When he does not do this he lets himself down.

He also punishes himself rather unkindly, with sore muscles, incidentally. When he is working at full power he is quite beyond such physical symptoms. He is outside of them. This energy, the use of it, is a natural ability that is part of his personality, and he must use it. For him it results in a smooth performance, for when he does not use it fully then he is besieged by false starts and interruptions.

These are reflected in the physical system, for it is geared, and naturally so, for intense action, and here he functions best. I am speaking now of his ideal performance. When he is working well his rest is in his work. When he demands less of himself and then more, and then less, the physical system, geared for steady highly-focused action, becomes confused; the glandular systems upset, and the nervous system as well.

The unused energy ties him up in knots, you see. (Her eyes open, Jane gestured by clapping her upper arms; she has experienced muscle cramps and spasms in both deltoids recently.) He must now concentrate that same energy into three main fields or endeavors: poetry and the two books. When he is home working the same energy utilized in his teaching must be used for his own work. This will effectively relieve him of all physical symptoms.

If my suggestions here are followed the results will be almost immediate. Yet using more energy he will have more left. Success with his dream work depends precisely upon this excess energy still available at day’s end. His whole physiological structure is geared to high activity. I am not speaking of nervous, erratic or undisciplined action of course.

In his very early adulthood there was the matter of discipline. The energy frightened him because he could not control it. Now he can. Used properly and to advantage, it will be responsible for several major breakthroughs resulting from your joint work.

Momentarily poor habits stopped him from focusing this energy fully into his books. Now his system will always work in this same manner. It is built to use, handle and convert high energy intensities.

Through personal interests and background this is done through his work. When this is not done the unconverted energy is literally stopped up, and causes definite physical symptoms that represent a blockage of energy. This can lead to general nervousness as well. A vicious circle is then formed. He broods because he knows he is not working correctly, and then because he broods he cannot work correctly.

Circumstances or a general letdown actually lead to a point where he loses touch, you see, with this energy, and this is the basic difficulty. When this is realized then he has only to demand of himself that this energy again be used, and the system will automatically adjust itself. He has in the past changed his working area or conditions. This often was an aid, you see, simply because he set up circumstances for concentration.

Your own system, Joseph, handles this energy in an entirely different fashion, and there is with you a certain feedback that works to your advantage, a certain withholding of energy that is then released. With you it leads to a maturation of images, you see. At the same time you have an alternating current, also of high intensity energy, with this maturating tendency however. You have been slower in your projection attempts, yet you will do very well when these twin currents are in harmony. I am using the current idea simply to explain. I do not mean literally two currents.

The whole affair would never have worked unless the belief was there, as you saw for yourself. You might ask the table for evidence some evening, and if there is a strong communicator you might get something of interest.
