“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before, she had noticed this sensation only during, or before sessions in which Seth’s larger personality spoke. Now we wondered whether this feeling would be transferred to the sessions held by Seth himself, and to other psychic endeavors.)

Now. You come out of notime into what you think of as time, and back to notime again.

(Eyes now open, Jane sat upright in her chair, back stiff, each hand grasping a chair arm tightly as if to brace herself.)

In the face of possible rejection, which old attitudes now and then make him expect, he adopts a rigid rather than flexible stance. There is no reason to expect such rejection to begin with. The point is, it has been his habitual response. In the past the reaction would have been much stronger however. Again, the point is that he covered up the fear of rejection, and tried to minimize the place of importance that the chapter has for him.

Now he did a good job on the chapter, and it will help him if he imagines the entire book to be a young beautiful sapling that moves easily with each breeze, the nerves like tiny unseen branches, soft and flexible, going even out from his body.

The change in his subjective life is considerable, as the psychic work and his easy manner in the chapter clearly shows. A psychic and spiritual openness will now help on his part. He did not want to admit the importance of the chapter, although he knows it is good. He did not want to send it out for fear it would come back—underline back.

Now. The condition catches him frequently when he attempts to breathe deeply. He was afraid the chapter would catch him up, just when he was ready to relax and let go, a deep breath signifying a breath of relief. He should be able you see to take a deep breath of relief, and feel relaxed because the chapter is completed, and he knows well he can follow through with the book. But he was afraid to grant himself that release for the old fears of rejection stop him.

This was also the reason for various other symptoms of which he did not tell you this week. A clenching of the jaws. All of these reactions are far less than they would have been some months ago, and many areas of the body that would have been affected then are now free, even from such reactions, but he should not allow them to slide by.

Now you may take your break and we shall continue.

Now. The yoga exercises are good but can be performed with a lighter heart, not a do-or-die attitude. He should make fun out of them.

You should find this a valuable training. Now colors may be significant, particularly to you, and so the colors used in the imaginary painting may be symbolic. If so you will have to interpret them. The painting technique will call forth your creative powers more strongly, and give impetus to the psychic work involved.

Now these symbols I believe will crop up specifically for you on various occasions. For you, again, the vividness of a color may also denote position in time. It may have other connotations also. For example, say you request information concerning a letter. You see, as a painting perhaps, a bright red, yellow or even electric blue, envelope. This could denote a favorable and fairly immediate reply, particularly if the letter was seen in the foreground.

Now these symbols are those that I believe you will find suitable for you, and some of the information should help you interpret information received in psychological time. In these instances however you should have something particular in mind. Otherwise the time element can become confused.

Now. In the overall you have benefited by the vitality and life about you here, and even by the occasional clamor. Strong and readily available positive energies have been about you when you needed them, and before you knew how to change your own inner environment.

A trick you may use, though you do not need it, when you want an idea for a new painting, is as follows. Pick a day in your future and simply request that you see that painting you will be working on at that time. Now we are involved with something rather tricky here, and I will explain the mechanics of it but not this evening. The picture of the painting should be available to you however. You can then use it in this present. If you are looking for a refreshing change, a lighthearted experiment, then imagine what painting you would paint if you were a particular other person, gifted with your own abilities.

All of these suggestions tend to activate your creative and psychic abilities, and that is why I have given them to you together. Now unless you have questions I will end the session. I hope you look forward to some psychological time experiments of your own. I have given you a good manual. My heartiest wishes to you both, and good evening.
