“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When the peak is reached then self-pity controls your emotions so completely that there seems to be no escape. In a mood of self-pity there is indeed an almost perverted luxury, the luxury of despair, for despair says: There is nothing I can do, and relieves you of any responsibility for change. This applies not to you only but to such a state in general. You become incapable of getting out of yourself, even to the extent of enjoying small pleasures and, little by little it seems every joy is withdrawn from you until nothing is left but despair.

And I will have more to say to you concerning this evening, and the earlier circumstances, which you do not understand.

Now, Ruburt was aware of this evening’s gathering this afternoon. He felt trapped, unable to escape an unwanted situation, and here, the foot difficulties. The two of you do not understand thus far, out of fear. I do not know if this is the evening to attempt such a discussion. Your purpose is to help others.
