“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt need not spend 24 hours a day thinking about his work. Remember he is to trust the inner self. Now let him keep his regular hours. He must remember to focus within the present. When he is going about household chores for example, let him give his mind a rest. Concentrate upon the chores joyfully.

The season will itself offer advantages here. Let him work so many hours and then concentrate elsewhere. He is trying too hard. He sees he has changed his ways, and now wants to do so with a vengeance, you see. (Humorous emphatic delivery.) He has dropped the relaxation exercise, and this should be resumed. For him it is most beneficial.

He has felt the need of sleep because he has been overly anxious to set things right. These suggestions, followed, will return him to his proper course. I am able to tell him such things now. Months ago he would not have allowed me to speak until he had a return of symptoms. We are short-circuiting all of that now.

The inner gains have been made. He is on the right track, but now he wants to gallop down it at once, you see (more humor, eyes wide) to show us all that he has changed. Now this too-much-too-soon attitude was reflected last evening in his class. Working with the table was sufficient, you see. His own interpretation of the communication attempt is correct, so I shall not waste time discussing it.

One more note. Ruburt should remember to keep other interests also. This lets him take his conscious attention away from psychic matters and allows them freedom. Dancing, gardening, painting. He can afford to play. (Humor.) Now that he is “good,” in quotes, he need not make a saint of himself overnight. (Emphatic.)

This attitude alone will help you greatly. A child develops in his own way. A parent should not try to force, but follow the child’s natural bents. So let your technical ability follow the visions natural bents.
