“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You create many of your own difficulties, if not all of them. This is true for all individuals. The inner psychological state is projected outward, gaining physical reality. This holds true regardless of the nature of that inner psychological state. The way that this is done has been discussed often and is on record in the material. I suggest you read it. The rules apply to everyone. You can use this for your own benefit and change your conditions, once you realize what the rules are.

Now: You are not listening to what your own inner voice says. You are listening to what your ego says, and this I speaks through your mouth and then you hear this I’s words. But these are not the words of the whole self. These are merely the words of the one part of the self with which you are most acquainted.

You are not speaking of basic issues. You are flying paper dragons to be punctured, but these are not the real dragons. You must learn to listen to the voice of your inner self, for if you know the use you are to this man, you do not recognize the nature of his use to you.

You have built defenses so strongly that you have not heard the voice of the inner self. The inner self is hardly to be feared. You have allowed the ego to become a counterfeit self, and you take its word because you will not hear the muffled voice that is within you speak.
