“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane said she was a little tired this evening. She began in trance while seated in our rocking chair, using a quiet voice and pauses, eyes open at times.)

You are being given directions and suggestions. (Pause.) You are of course amiable to inner visual stimuli, and used to interpreting reality in highly specialized forms, through visual data.

This does not mean he is expected to pretend they do not exist, but he is to give a minimum amount of attention to them. They will completely dissolve that much quicker. What he is doing now is correct. (Pause.) An inner trust is developing. He must avoid being overly concerned on a conscious level.

Pleasant relaxation is the key, as opposed to a retreating, drugged-like mood, or an overly tense, overly conscious worry, as to the degree of his improvement. (Pause.)

The success exercises are also teaching him how to focus his energy without strong conscious deliberation. Often he tries too hard to relax. Now give us a moment here. (Pause.)

Your dream was a psychological drama. (See my dream notebook for December 6, 1967.) The water did represent the streak of life. (Pause.) The rocks represented in the past a desire for aloofness. Not only did they lead back to the water, but all other routes along them that you followed were perilous. The water, despite all, was safer than the rocks.

Instead, you tried aloofness but kept intact and with you your abilities and responsibilities. You saw that the course could not be pursued, for all the roads led to involvement with the water. (Pause.) You still did not want to enter in however. It was Ruburt who drew you emotionally into participation.

Housework is in the same category usually. (Pause.) The exercises you see should have a joyful, gamelike atmosphere, or a nonchalance. He makes them a combat zone: his will versus his symptoms, and this defeats his purpose.

Now. The paintings have come from other portions of your personality, who know better than you what you can do. (Long pause, eyes closed.) These will be, I believe, a series of visions, extending over some time. You will see various ways in which your abilities can be used, various possibilities. Progressions along various lines.

I will have more to say here at another session. (Long pause.)
