“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He tries at times to use a schedule, a disciplined schedule as a fence against the subconscious, and becomes panic-stricken imagining himself without it. This is not to say that a schedule in itself is not good, it is to say that he can and sometimes does misuse one. In these instances the time is actually used to clamp down on the inner self, rather than to release it. These outings will be of benefit here, not only because they allow for spontaneous interaction, but because they serve to break the schedules in ways that do not disturb working hours. They provide a beginning for a habit of release. Here the ego is helping us now, for it is sticking to these plans, and the plans are those the ego itself enjoys, and can accept. He has been afraid to simply sit and think, for fear of letting the spontaneous self show without the symbolized writing mechanism.

The gestures you are making are important not only for their innate benefits. They are a vital means of showing your intent to other portions of the self. One small note here: at those times when Ruburt wears sweaters to bed, you see, they serve as reminders of his mother’s bed jackets. This was the main reason for his difficulty regarding the arms last night in bed.

The sensitivities are vanishing. Improvements come as the personality learns intuitively, you see, having nothing to do with time in a basic manner. An intuitive grasp may come suddenly with an equally fast disappearance of blocks of symptoms. The spontaneous self is being allowed more freedom now, this is the source of the intuitional understanding.

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.
