“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, in the past when you said the word I, this I was the ego I, and you identified the whole self with the ego. Later you learned to distinguish between the ego and the subconscious. All of this simply means that you became aware of larger portions of the whole personality, and were consciously able to use these abilities, conscious and subconscious being, of course, artificial terms.

In those terms you could call it a part of a more expansive portion of the self, the only part that you are so far able to experience in your usual conscious terms. Ruburt has been using this part of the self automatically in the pendulum sessions, and in giving suggestions. You have appealed to it also.

Symptoms still lingering should not be ignored, of course, but attention should be paid to advancements, and symptoms should not be overemphasized. Ruburt should attempt more and more to break out of these patterns he allowed to build up about him as a result of symptoms. He should tackle the back stairs more frequently, until they lose what negative significance they gained, you see.

Once he has given suggestions, he should think of other things, and not check on his progress as this shows doubt. He has, you see, a negative picture of himself walking that must be replaced by a positive one.
