“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

They attempt to straighten out his basic ideas. They also give directions for him to his own supraconscious, so that suitable physical adjustments may follow. It will help if Ruburt remembers this fact, and does remind himself that he is indeed being aided, although the work is not being done for him.

If he reminds himself then he will have memory of some of these encounters, and this will be of help. The word exuberant is a good one for him to use. He should create the feeling within himself, and it will be physically materialized.

The added monthly count on his part was the offshoot of the work he has done thinking of abundance. Granted the effects were not large, but they were definite. He did not overconcentrate, you see. He sent out the thoughts with full confidence, but in almost a playful manner, thinking merely of extra money.

He did not think of what he lacked, but of what he wanted. And this is what must be done in the health work. His dental appointment today in a way amounted to the same thing. He wanted brilliant teeth (humorously) for the visit of your Aerofranz (Tam Mossman), and he gave a quick but direct message when he made the phone call, that an appointment would be available before your friend arrived.

He did not think “How miserable my teeth will look.” He thought instead briefly, effectively and playfully, “When Tam comes my teeth will be cleaned. No matter what she says, there will be an appointment for me this week.”

Tell him then again, easy does it. The imagination is all important. Even be ridiculous with the use of the imagination. Have him imagine for example pillow fights with you, or wrestling on the floor with you. Now it is extremely important that his conscious attention be elsewhere after he has given his suggestions. I suggest the following: that he worked at his writing certainly no less than four hours a day, preferably five; and that a portion of this time be given to poetry.

This will effectively have him concentrate his attention where it belongs, while the inner self follows through on the suggestion which he has given.

Now this is a necessity: the Psycho-Cybernetics for at least fifteen minutes, no more than a half hour, in which time he allows his imagination full imaginative play, positive play, where he is writing well, enjoying his body, where his pursuits are succeeding. He does very well at this, but during this time have him concentrate on the imagination, and not give conscious suggestions to himself for he then becomes too heavy-handed.

The prayer series should be continued. In this period let the conscious suggestions be given with emotion and feeling, and then have him forget all about them. He does not need to give himself conscious suggestions every fifteen minutes. This is too much like clock watching.

The before-bed suggestions, given lightly and with feeling, are fine. He has done better in that area. Again, any signs of progress should be encouraged, noticed, and concentrated upon. Now this is the plan that I recommend.

You then let the motive power within take over but you do not try to bully it. If your conscious mind is to be a foreman he must be one who is easy to get along with, and not so authoritative that he is yelling demands all the time. He is to be a gentle director and not a bully.

He is only a bully when he suspects that his in quotes now “subordinates” are in rebellion. The inner self is not a subordinate to begin with. It is the power that has been given to you as an identity, its services available to you—that is, available to your present personality, for its use.

Give us a moment. (Pause.) Do not say “so-and-so will buy such-and-such a painting, he has the money,” if there is any touch of accusation in the statement “He has money.” Do you follow me?

There is some connection here that you can easily dislodge, having to do with your father’s reluctance to sell his photographs, his attitude, and his reaction to clients when they entered the house. You have remarked that your mother did his selling for him, or he would not have done it.
