“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This allows the inner self to work much more quickly and effectively. You can trick normal consciousness quite easily with baubles, take its attention into other areas so that the inner self is left alone to do its work. Now give us a moment.

The jump from a local condition to a statement like “I am a mess,” should be avoided. An inclination to project a local symptom on the body in general—do you follow me?—is very poor, and takes focus away from very definite advances which go unnoticed.

When Ruburt is in good spirits and physical condition, at the end of the day let him note down, briefly, what he has been doing and thinking about. Let him use those days as models, the focus of attention being upon them rather than upon the poor days. The idea being to reproduce those daily activities and thoughts that naturally reinforce his strengths. He should not overanalyze, but generally speaking keep such days in mind as models to follow.

The twenty minutes of psycho-cybernetics should be particularly maintained when he is not feeling well, for in themselves they help him change his mood and give a breathing spell. Often on the days when he needs this exercise most he dispenses with it. As a part of his routine it is an excellent automatic way of mental reconditioning. Now do you have questions?

He is himself trying to make contact after finally discovering where you were. There are some problems here we have not discussed that are rather involved in having to do with time relationships. He may make contact with you in his now during this visit, but this may not be known by you or experienced by you until some time in your future.

He is aware of this, but you are real to him in all of your Robert Butts time periods. From his vantage point it is a matter of when contact can best be made. He does not realize you do not perceive yourself as one in these separate time intervals. He realizes this about himself but he has not taken it into consideration in his calculations.

The answer would be yes. There is a difference in your terms of skin color, his being of a purplelike cast. As they age in their system incidentally the skin turns grayish. I do not know precisely how to explain this: the atoms of their matter weigh more than yours do.

He should also imagine the future when present symptoms have vanished like the others. Anything but projecting them into the future. You can help him by reminding him of improvements and saying something like: “You used to worry just as much about your—say—feet, and they are fine now.” But remind him of gains. At least keep the gains in your own mind. It may be better not to mention specific past symptoms, while still dwelling on the improved condition. Do you follow me?

Now do you have questions?
