“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He works out many problems through his work. This is natural for the personality. If he insists upon four to five hours a day of definite work, many of his problems will be solved at an intuitive level by him. The determination and energy necessary to do this will be an indication of improvement. It automatically provides the inner focus and concentration necessary. As you know, his presence in this chair (eyes open, Jane pointed to the Kennedy rocker in which she sat) at regular session time provides the same sort of concentration and focus in another direction.

As he worries occasionally about going too far when he is dancing, so he worries the same about the sessions—how far is spontaneity to be trusted, you see. Yet he must trust it, and when he does not do so the difficulties build.

It was, then, the burst of spontaneity caused by the letter that also freed him for the next natural development in our sessions. You can do much by using very simple words to reassure him. The words are these: “You are safe, and I am here. I am looking out for you.” It is the fear for safety behind this. (Pause.)

His problem is precisely this: the need and ability to throw himself whole-heartedly and spontaneously into a creative endeavor, and the fear of doing so.

You do not give complicated problems to an idiot to solve. You give him simple ones.

I had one note: his jumpy-roping is good for him, and he should continue. He should seek motion. Do you have further questions?
