“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“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.

Now earlier he would have been so terrified that the image would not have become conscious. Instead it can now serve as an excellent learning point, and for both of you. The identification of self with symptoms alone is very dangerous. Always distorted, the symptoms themselves are a representation of certain distortions. They are not representations of the entire self, and should never be considered so.

Ruburt’s entire self-image is not wrong, therefore.

He takes it for granted that he will be in good condition for class, regardless of how he has felt earlier, and the expectation is always correct. The lovely young woman image will also help fill him out.

He should indeed go out more. I do not want positive suggestions just slipped on like bandages, leaving the fears unreleased or unrecognized. The positive suggestions are extremely important. Clearing the monster woman image will be of great help here. Do you have questions?
