“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

That grouping has been disintegrating since the crisis point last winter. The death of that grouping is now a fact. The body must still stabilize itself however, and consolidate its gains.

There are still some lingerings of mourning, for the grouping was indeed vital, and adopted initially to help the personality. The grouping was doomed to failure, in that it could not succeed in helping the personality, you see, but hindered it.

When it realized this, then all nourishment was cut off. Not only did other elements of the personality begin to deny it energy, but it—this grouping —also committed suicide, so to speak, sacrificing itself for the whole personality which it tried to serve.

(10:36.) Now. The death of the old grouping now allows for the birth of a new grouping, this time a grouping that will effectively deal with the problems at hand, and that will allow the personality to develop and expand. The instructions in the book will help guide the formation of this new grouping.
