“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I mentioned earlier that strong focus of activity in other areas is of benefit. Your apartment hunting, because of its novelty, and his interest in decoration and arrangement, stirred his imagination in new way so took energy away from symptoms. He imaginatively arranged you and your household in each new apartment he saw. This added to his inner sense of mobility.

Such activities, and you can think of others—I am simply using this as an example—are therapeutic, even though it may seem that they are beside the issue. They automatically sweep his consciousness into other areas of activity, away from issues to which he may have been sensitized in the past, and serve to give him a breathing spell and refreshment.

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.

When the knee is bad, today for example, the tendency is to focus upon it, and the difficulties involved, and to ignore entirely the other portions of the body which are not affected. Then in the overall he sees himself in his terms generally as a mess. The attitude should be: “This area is affected, why? We can find out.”

He has automatically changed many areas of thought over the past year. These are changed for good. And a fond good evening.
