“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now let us look at this simply. He comes through as an extremely attractive, highly intelligent young woman, with strong psychic and creative abilities, unusual insight into the problems of others—as a writer, a psychic, and as “the mistress” of a delightful establishment.

When he is in error he sees himself as an old hag, overly cautious with his psychic work, knocks himself over the head for not being freer about it, distrusts it, knocks himself over the head for distrusting it, fearful of emotional expression. Now you missed this fear of emotional expression on his part, because even with it he relates well usually with others. Particularly of course he was afraid of unpleasant emotional expression, or anger.

Now. Retracing (in answer to my question at break) will not occur in any predetermined rigid manner, as it has been described unless there is a psychic or mental return to the mental patterns that caused the difficulties to begin with. This is not operating then in Ruburt’s case—the mental patterns are not being returned to.

They are minimal if the individual is progressing at a psychic level. Many individuals however, relying upon the physical therapy alone, set up negative associations. Say for example that a deeply repressed fear brought about the squeezing of nerves in the area of the lower spinal cord. Without the knowledge that you have, then any sensations in the area of those nerves could then through association activate the original fear, which would in turn aggravate the condition.
