“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It will be recalled that I had my excellent pendulum session last Sunday, November 5, pinpointing the part I played in Jane’s symptoms. Using the pendulum each day since then, I have been surprised to note a rapid change in some inner attitudes. I wanted to know if these changes, from negative to positive, were legitimate, and possible in such a short time.

Much of the inner meaning would not have registered. You would have thought it a surface book, because you would not have understood clearly the premises beneath. This means obviously that you must be at a particular stage of development before the author’s suggested techniques will be of any great benefit.

The steps given in the book for activating the aid of the inner self are excellent. Make certain that your idea of success is not merely financial, or concerned overly with the acquisition of the material objects that you do not now have.

On a physical level only, there were then some strains and tensions, fairly normal under the circumstances. On deeper levels however there was conflict, and normal enough rebellion considering the situation. (Pause.) The part of the self who considered the symptoms necessary, you see, has realized they are no longer necessary, but still some habit persists.

An unfortunate grouping of habits operating through the body are breaking up. Originally they had a purpose. It now no longer exists, but they still resent the breaking up; and Ruburt’s yells, quite involuntary, represented in fact the death throes of the symptoms, and the part of the self who had accepted them as an attempt to solve problems.

(“In the light of the recent information, do you want to say something about the role of the conscientious self?”)

(In the terms of the overly conscientious self, Seth said in answer to my question.)

It is aiding in this new impetus, and will find itself rejuvenated. It always releases the spontaneous self under such conditions, and experiences a refreshing new spiritual birth itself. (Pause.)

This will automatically build up Ruburt’s resources and inner psychic defenses against negative influences. We will have more to say concerning your (meaning me) symptoms at our next session, and offer specific suggestions; the exercises and the book should now help you rid yourself of these.
