“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are left with, as of now, the results of negative beliefs, projected upon certain portions of the body. The old charges have pretty well worn down. You should try to help him in this game—understanding how it works. Even if you want to play it with him, it is extremely important that it is an “as if” imaginative game.

Up to now you both have been playing the illness game strongly, in your imagination both creating symptoms, imprisoning Ruburt within them in the present, seeing them in the future, and examining future events in the light of present symptoms.

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.

Now. The “as if” game brings the picture of health into the present. Ruburt sees himself imaginatively as completely healthy and free now, which is something he has not been able to do. That is extremely important.

It has been acted out imaginatively and physically, with some changes and variations. Generally however it has been the same. This scene will change not necessarily because of any particular effort to reenact the scene differently imaginatively, but because of the overall “as if” game. You follow here.

If the “as if” game is played correctly the dressing habits will change automatically, again without stress. Ruburt fears humiliation. Acting as if he were perfectly healthy, such imagined humiliation would not be automatically projected. This is one area where both of you will have to watch, contrasting the game against immediate physical data.

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.
