“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now neither of you know what difficulties are, in the terms with which most people speak. (A point with which I can disagree.) Now you are dealing, through your creative endeavors, aside even from the psychic work, with highly subjective material; many people are completely unaware for great periods of time of their own mental and emotional states. These are projected so automatically into physical activities that they are then faced and manipulated as physical events. The connection between the two is never realized. They are not ready as yet to handle their own subjective material or possibilities. Do you follow me here?

(At the same time, I couldn’t help wondering just what human beings were, why they acted as they did, etc., and why the organism didn’t seem able to take better care of itself at least intuitively. Resume at 9:38.)

Now what are your questions?

It was only too easy for you to accept this withdrawal without recognizing it for what it was, because of your own background, and I mentioned some allied material here in the near-contact session. (Last night.) Now these repressions operated constantly in daily life. The effort required to repress such material is tremendous, and the muscular motions affected.

I understand your problem. You cannot quite get it through your heads that your thoughts form your reality.

(“No, I believe that. But I get very mad at the way other thoughts interfere with good or healthy constructions. I probably mean that I get mad at the way old habits, bad ones, interfere, or come first. I know what I mean here, but I’m not putting it very well.”)

These recommendations will pay off. Understanding the pattern of behavior should allow Ruburt to take definite steps to alter it. He does not have to creep round the house to be quiet either, for example. Now take a moment and see what questions you have.

(“What happened a couple of months ago that touched off this current set of problems through his knees, so that he has trouble walking?”)

You understand from what I have said that a strong reaction can be felt from a seemingly insignificant issue. Understand also however that the opposite also holds. An excellent suggestion or emotion taking root, even though trivial, can have a far-reaching beneficial effect. In that case however he expected from the tour much better results. (To publicize Jane’s The Seth Material.)

(“What did happen there?”)

With what?

(“What did happen after the tour? I always thought something happened after that, to cool things off.”

(Although we were both tired by the end of the session, I had the feeling that Jane, as Seth, was a bit reluctant to go too much into the affair with Prentice re The Seth Material, and ended the session rather abruptly at that point for that reason. Not that I don’t think Prentice owes us some explanations, for they do—especially since they told us nothing of any plans, good or not so good. We wouldn’t know the little we do know if we hadn’t written them a month or so ago, wanting to know what had happened to some long-overdue travel expense money, etc.)
