“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now you have been good about exchanging ideas, the two of you, but not as spontaneous in the exchange of emotions. The remarks Ruburt made just before session are all pertinent.

“I am a lovely young woman” is particularly good because it automatically identifies Ruburt with grace, agility and health. Too often he has identified himself with his symptoms. He has in his mind seen himself not as a woman who had certain symptoms, along with many excellent good points and abilities, but he has identified himself primarily at times with the symptoms alone. Hence the appalling “monster woman” image that sprang to his mind.

But if you do not allow some regular time for such discussions matters will slide.

On the other hand feelings create the physical state. Accumulated feelings of like nature will be expressed often, but not always, in repetitive fashion. It would be possible to go through Ruburt’s body and pinpoint the physical materialization of certain feelings as they are represented in a symptom.

The treatments in themselves are beneficial, but useless without the guides that you have. If you really do not want to get well, then no doctor or chiropractor can help you, for you will substitute symptoms. The treatments do serve as an aid however, but he should not expect (underlined) the retracing effects, for there is no reason why they should operate in his case.

He feels an inferior member of a family, but in a superior position as a teacher, and his fear of being anonymous in a group, or swept up by it, when he is not in control of it, results from these family feelings of a group, and fear of being swept along by emotion.

He was afraid not only of his own emotions, but terrified of his mother’s emotions. He feels free to express emotion in class because he is in control of the class, and can also justify this, the use of emotion as a teaching aid. He can also give expression to a very deep concern about his fellow man, safely, since the family relationship is not involved.

Again, your sessions should allow for the expression and discussion of fears, the giving of comfort and assurance, but not involve emphasis upon fears, as in the two days… You do not need to take notes here….

Then we did not get to dictation, but I hope that this will be as valuable. He is not having the menopause.
