“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now a few notes, not pertaining to the book.

I have told him that concentration on his work will dissipate the rest of his symptoms, but he adopted a too-conscious (underlined) deliberation here. He should write his book the same way that he writes his poetry—not demand of himself, but simply and quietly and joyfully expect.

Now his contract (for the dream book) is assured, and tell him I said so.

He has actually been trying too hard on the dream book—his mental set. The spontaneous attitude of a joyful endeavor will release him here. His attitude has been “I have to start my dream book.” Tell him that his dream book will start itself if he leaves himself alone. The attitude has impeded his dream experiences also.

Tell him that he produces books as naturally as a tree produces leaves. He does not have to try so hard then. When he lets himself alone this happens naturally. Now this may sound redundant, but he has been listening to me rather well of late, and I know that there is significance even behind the obvious words I speak.

Now. We hope to do more along those lines, for even though (smile) I am doing my own book, I will help Ruburt on his, and he could use a few projection episodes during sessions. (Humorous and emphatic.) It was also a way of getting him out of the way the other evening, so that I could work in peace on my book. It was rather a displacement of consciousness rather than a projection, for his consciousness was in a trance state, and then displaced to the bookcase area. (About six feet away.)

I tell you this now again, except that the improvement should be far more startling: the time and the season and Ruburt’s psychological state are right. This is why I have taken the time from my book for this session, and the other recent ones for him. Therefore see that my suggestions are followed.

He is to forget thinking of the dream book as something he must do. It will come from him naturally. He has been using the idea of the contract as a club, and this is why he has been so sensitive about it. The contract is his as naturally as the book is his.

(10:38. Seth’s humorous, emphatic ending referred to a passage I had come across in Blavatsky’s book The Secret Doctrine. The passage referred to a biblical Seth, and to a Seth who was an Egyptian god, who ended up as a daemon, etc.)
