“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause, one of many, etc.) Some of your own attitudes still escape you. You do not recognize them as negative because they are so familiar that you glide over them. Some of these operated in your reactions over the raising of the rent.

He ignored what seemed to be a fact of reality, built his own constructive expectations, and made them the reality. He expects good things, and receives them. Now he also gives. At his own level he gives in his relationship with his students, and primarily his turn toward counseling is directed by a desire to help others. There is no one to whom he wishes ill.

Now in his own mind Ruburt has been highly critical of that neighbor, and so have you at times. There is one area you see where he (Leonard) is thus far entirely blocked, for he cannot love another person wholeheartedly, nor imagine himself in that position. This lack is always with him, and it is caused by a particular shallow area in his personality that is not developed.

You said often enough to yourself: “I’d move if the rent were raised.” That is one point. The raise was meant to be used as an aid. Now this does not mean that your landlady knew this, but in a way she did, for all of your intentions were subconsciously taken into consideration when such a decision was made.

Leonard will want to buy a house. When he finds he can afford the rent easily, he will realize he can afford a house easily. Your lawyer wanted to get out of a bad situation in the front apartment, and the increased rent serves his purpose. The woman in the back over the garage, the whole family, is also involved. One daughter is paying the rent. Other members of the family live there some of the time. She wants a smaller place so the family cannot visit overnight. This will give her an excuse shortly to move.

The only person who was more or less entirely neutral in the whole affair was the woman above, who had little to do with any decision. Now this does cover only one issue that you mentioned. Give us a moment.

The landlady chose, unconsciously, houses in which the deeper needs of her tenants would in one way or another correspond with her own. This does not exonerate injustices. Nevertheless the lacks that exist, for example in your landlady, will bring about further lacks, and resentment on your part only hurts you. Does this answer a few of your questions?

There were also reasons why the same thing happened in the medical line, with the offices. Many of the men involved were imagining how happy they would be in a medical building, and subconsciously hoping for an excuse to move into one. The people drew the landlord then as much as she drew the houses. There is always a give and take. She will discover that without inner security money is no security, and she will discover this without your resentment to help her.
