“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These measures, incidentally, will refresh you both and are always excellent provisions against rigidity in any form. They are actually exercises in the spontaneous release of the intuitive portion of the self. I would suggest for awhile that he refrain from wearing black sweaters in general, except that I fear his wardrobe is already depleted. (Smile.)

You have been doing well with the pendulum, and the exercise has successively opened up communication with deeper layers of the self. An hypnotic session would be helpful, but only when you feel confident. A point here involving Ruburt’s hands and his mother’s sweaters: he knew that knitting was a therapeutic measure suggested in the past to exercise his mother’s hands. When he became sensitized to the sweaters, then he had difficulty with his own hands, you see.

This would add to the depth and reliability, and also allow suggestions given to take hold. A session dealing with upsetting material should lead or be directed toward some immediate release. If extremely upsetting material is obtained then the emotional release must be allowed before the session is considered finished. On a few occasions such material was partially uncovered, and you both ended the session. No release.

Spontaneous talking out on Ruburt’s part for this particular incident or times, to elicit the full release of pent-up emotions that lay behind the uncovering, you see. In some such instances, proper suggestions will help. This is excellent therapy incidentally, for the release of the emotions automatically releases the symptoms. A discharge of this type is required when unpleasant material of an emotional kind is uncovered through the pendulum.
