“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You saw for example the therapeutic effect of your brief shopping trip to the mall, and the overwhelming effect of a simple emotion like laughter and different surroundings, to break up a difficult depression. Your vacation plans can serve in the same manner. Different environments simply give consciousness some new material to nibble on.

We hope that you will. (I didn’t.) I suggest that you give instructions to the effect that a portion of you will remain alert in sleep to such an encounter. Give us a moment. There may be a change of air pressure in the room that could alert you. Most probably it would be a telepathic communication, but he may touch you, to see if you feel physical to him.

In one day, often, he stirs up many issues without getting to the bottom of any given one. It is highly important that both of you remember the gains. He is working well now, and this was at one time a major issue.
