“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In all of these areas expectations bring about physical reality.

The life that you two personally have, has been brought about through trust and expectation. Your artistic endeavors are the result of trust and expectation. Now, only a comparative few operate in such a manner that their entire lives, in all areas, bring about the results they think they are after. The danger is in concentrating upon the lacks, the “sore spots,” building up greater concentrations of mistrust. In very important issues, both you and Ruburt are in excellent health. In every important manner, you personally are in the best of health.

So is Ruburt in all areas, except that one upon which he has concentrated negatively, and given up trust. I want you to realize that in very important ways, and even in the health area, you are both successful.

The mistrust of mobility, or fear that it could be taken away, was built up also, with other reasons given in the sessions, simply through the suggestion over the years of living with someone who was not mobile. The proximity alone. While Ruburt trusted the body then in all other areas, these two points represented holes in his armor, so to speak.

The rules are the same: as you believe, so you are. Now even after the initial causes of the mistrust no longer strongly operate, you are left with the results of in quotes “your faith,” in this case the faith in immobility. As already discussed, the exterior situation then serves to reinforce the inner data, and it seems to fly in the face of all reason, to deny exterior symptoms. You follow me here.

This is all apart now from good and evil. It does no good to say “Why should such things be?” since you are here to learn how (underlined) thoughts, feelings and emotions are materialized physically.

In his “as if” game, have Ruburt imagine he is having his period, buying his Tampax. This is all he need do—not hammer the point. This and your satisfactory sexual relationship, now, will also help. He feels more now that you accept him as a woman. For a while he felt you did not.

Again, here particularly the game should not be carried out resolutely but with an idea of imaginative fun. There need be no decision on Ruburt’s part to wear short skirts all the time, for example. That would not be freedom either.

An overconcentration in those areas helps bring about those conditions in your own experience. There are great parallel existences now occurring, always occurring, all taking place within the area of physical activity. To some men there is no good. The world is not to be trusted, and their experience proves it. Others dwell in a world that is filled with all kinds of abundance. Both worlds are real, both are created by those who experience them. You know that robbers exist. You do not dwell on the matter however; it hardly overbalances your greater feelings of trust, and so while granting that thieves live, you go unbothered.

If you began a practice of following all reports of such crimes, you would soon find yourself experiencing the fact of thievery, drawing to you those people because of your own concentration. The same applies to all areas of activity.

We will indeed write a book which will make all this quite clear, where you are not taken as examples. Here however we start with the personal.
