“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A preliminary note, Joseph. Tonight’s affairs were hardly a coincidence. The young woman you did not know is in severe difficulty, and unless her method of operation changes, there will be tragic circumstances, indeed. There is emotional and psychological instability there. The evening here offered a few moments of peace.

There is an inability to handle his own energy. At times his own energy frightens him, and then it seems to abandon him completely. Here, however, he has abandoned it, for he succumbs easily to negative suggestions. Because he is sensitive to various elements, he also soaks up atmosphere and suggestions like a sponge, and he has not learned to protect himself.

When you replace this with a constructive thought, you are sending that constructive suggestion to which he will also react. Any time you see yourself in your mind as unhealthy or staggering, you must immediately wipe the image away and make an effort to see instead a mental image of yourself as healthy and strong.

When you help others in your own way, you help and reinforce the self. You develop your own abilities and in closing off from others, you close yourself. You both seem to fear that all your time will be consumed, or that you will be at the mercy of others if you give in at all. This alternative exists only in your own minds, for others will show both gratitude and consideration, and your abilities will deepen and mature, and the gift of empathy be heightened.

The added sensitivity will show in your work, and the flexibility will aid you in many ways. To help and resent helping is worse for you than not to help at all, for you are then deprived of time without benefit.
