“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now you may take your break and we will continue. Ruburt for example has found out what certain mental patterns will do to his image, and he is now attempting to undo the damage that became apparent. Without the damage he would not have accepted the obvious truths. Now the sculptor does at times identify with his sculpt, but never entirely, and it will help him if he remembers that he did the damage, and therefore can undo it.

Not only that, but the lesson will prevent him from doing more serious damage. Tell him that he has, or he is, learning a lesson in perspective, whether he knows it or not.

Now this material has important psychological implications that I will follow up, and it is also connected with our material on perception. Ruburt physically perceives as well as feels the symptoms. Our Jesuit will not see the problem, even to that extent, and so it is buried even physically within him.

Old negative patterns of thought, always present beneath an exterior optimism, had gone unrecognized by him, and were like a thorn in his side. Until these emerged physically he was not aware of them sufficiently enough to handle them effectively. They distorted his reality and his perceptions without his being aware of them.

When he is finished you see he will understand something extremely important for him, and experience a corresponding relief. For seeing that he creates his own reality now, he will understand that he also helped form the environment in which he grew, and that his mother was not entirely responsible.

The despondencies that he encounters also should show him that these feelings emerge into his conscious awareness now, to be dealt with, where in the past they festered beneath consciousness, and he would not admit them as a problem for he was not that aware of their existence.

Now. The information I am giving you this evening will be far more helpful to many individuals than any information I could give you this evening concerning your student or his family; for the boy at this point would not put my advice into practice. He is not ready to understand it, and the father has still to realize that no one can bail him out except himself. I will not give him ready answers, and I have told him this.

Ready answers for he or his son would only betray them. They would use them as excuses. Now give me, a moment ... I will tell him that many of his worries concerning the boy are projections of his own fears, and will not materialize. The boy is reacting telepathically for one thing to the father’s worries. The best thing the father can do for now is to be simply kind to the boy, but relieve the child of his heavy-handed thoughts mentally. Leave the boy alone. He is picking up the father’s negative attitudes telepathically.

One note. Ruburt need not bear the weight of the world upon his shoulders (humorously throughout), nor take the responsibility of the universe. This is high egotism. God can handle his own problems and take care of his universe. Ruburt need not judge him, for he does not know all the facts, and it is sheer nonsense for him to suppose that he does.
