“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Much of what you discussed today was discussed by me a good deal of time ago. (True.) The suggestions I made at that time were not followed. Others were not, for both of your reasons, because the situation served both of your purposes to some extent.

I am speaking now of you both. You did not communicate your concern to each other, therefore you did not communicate your hopes. You, now, did for some time get into the habit of nonsmiling, which led Ruburt to further reinforce his own negative ideas of what you are thinking. But all of the symptoms now represent aspects of your lives that you have not faced in a normal above-the-board fashion. It is not so much that you have not solved them, as that you let communication about them gradually fade away.

In other words, such discussions are excellent methods of showing you how you interrelate. They provide miniature yet perfect therapeutic sessions, beside having the advantage of bringing the initial problems to the front where you can deal with them together. Before you nursed these separately, and felt, both of you, overburdened at times, and misunderstood by the other.

You can break the pattern then at any time. This should help you do so, by present, current action. Often you are so involved with feelings you had in the past that you do not know what you are feeling in the present. There are richly creative emotional founts within you both. Each of you know this and sense it.
