“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your friend’s invitation was a direct answer to your need, which was telepathically received. The way, in other words, was provided. Such a change, drastic and complete, would have resulted in a shock to your own psychic system as well as Ruburt’s.

You had also been operating on inner cues which would have been broken, and in these lapses buried intuitions would have leaped up, bringing these truths in their wake. Frequent changes, as I told you, are beneficial for that reason.

Objects and conditions within the habitual environment become changed with various emotions, to which you can then rather automatically react, without questioning their validity. Free from these charged objects and conditions, the same response you see may suddenly strike you with surprise, and you will question it. This is highly simplified, but very valid indeed.

He felt that you begrudged him the food he ate, hence the shopping symptoms. As your attitude changed these symptoms began to vanish. And as your attitude has further changed he has begun to eat more. Now his own background, with its self-denial and early religious esthetic training, also played its part, you see.

The bookcase did represent a changed attitude on your part, for the better, and he also knew this.

Simple alterations in the objects can therefore result in a quite real change of pattern, psychic pattern, to disrupt the association. Painting is a wholesale change, for example. In other words, the ghosts of these things can linger. A complete (underlined) house cleaning, a change of details within the environment, these are all practically beneficial, and of great benefit in relieving lingering symptoms.

The change of bedroom color is highly important, and this is why I suggested it. Remove the rug. It should not be used again. Rearrange the paintings in the bedroom. You may… Let your friend in….

These are important details however. The chests in the bathroom should be painted. The bookcase there (just moved in) breaks up old conditions, and is good. The chests should be covered as soon as possible to break up associations. Ruburt should change the arrangement of his clothes in those chests. The shoes should be kept in another place than the accustomed one.

These measures will all help in disrupting any lingering ghost patterns you see. I would (underlined) suggest a change in the kitchen if any were remotely possible. If no major rearrangement is possible, minor changes should be made.

The associative conditions are not Ruburt’s alone. Once projected upon the objects, they become part of the objects until some alteration is made. The alteration actually changes atomic alignments, and shakes off such influences that have been soaked up.
