“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Here he has tried to hold back, and yet not hold back. One very large portion of the personality is totally committed to our endeavors. Another portion has so far withheld complete commitment, though the rejection seems greater by contrast. In others the rejection would come close to commitment, but for him this is not enough.

Now, I could not give you this material earlier, for he would not allow it. It would make no impression upon him had I given it, nor would my appearance have convinced him of anything more than what he would consider his own duplicity. The session itself therefore is an indication of his progress.

Your own attitude now (underlined) is most beneficial, and you are doing him a service that no one else can do; partially of course to help make up for harm that you did unwittingly. He let you (smile) do the harm, but he would have let no one else do it at the time. (Smile.)

Even if he takes a conscious neutral stand, this will be of great benefit, for as he overreacts, he overreacts to his own doubts. They are not as severe as they appear to him. Even a neutrality here will be a step forward on the part of consciousness, you see.

He is involved in a search for truth, and he must be prepared to follow wherever the search leads him. The intellect cannot, because of its very nature participate fully in the actual trance experience. He must realize this. (Pause.)

Let him remind himself that he is fearless in his poetry, and commits himself to it fully, and his ability here has always led him onward to further unfoldments and never into betrayal or deceit. It is precisely this same kind of ability he is using now. (In trance.)

The very freedom will give me more leeway in making my presence known to him. I am so a part of him during sessions you see (smile), that he cannot observe me or my presence, and this is a source of irritation to him. (Pause.

We will close the session. It is however a fact that I am so a part of him during sessions, that makes him doubt my independent existence. He feels the closeness, you see.

Yet, I cannot completely be myself while within his system, since I am using his nervous system. It is the mixture of strangeness and familiarity that confuses him in this regard. It is not possible for me to speak through him, now, without using his physical structure.

My heartiest regards to you both, and Ruburt should definitely continue with the Maltz exercises. The “be careful in nothing” advice is just what Ruburt needs now. (Pause.) And tell him to smile as he goes to sleep, and if he wakens to relax the facial muscles and smile. Also on awakening. The jaw should particularly be relaxed. There is a tendency to grit the teeth.
