“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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

Once begun it contains its own motive power then, repelling those elements that do not fit in with its sense of unity, and attracting those that do. All of this goes on before any event appears in physical terms, in the same way that much creative activity goes on hidden in your mind, behind each movement of your hand as you apply paint with a brush to a painting. You see the color and the brush strokes but you do not see the inner workings that led you to produce those particular brush strokes. You know they are there, the inner meanings, but you do not see them in physical terms. You see instead their effects in the color, the brush strokes and the painting.

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.

It is your contact with All That Is, but it is up to the conscious mind of the present individual as to how much its abilities will be used and in what manner. The present individual is to learn. The inner self therefore does not overstep the boundaries of the ego, go against the ego’s wishes, or try to force (underline) the ego. It is up to the ego to learn how to use these vast potentials that lie within the inner self, how to use them to help itself and others.

If the inner self took over completely therefore the present personality would not learn on its own. The inner self does offer advice, intuitional help, inspiration, all of these things, but it does not force the ego to accept them.

When the ego is using its abilities in an unfortunate manner the inner self sets up warning systems, sometimes even bringing the physical organism to a physical or symbolic halt to prevent the ego from doing further damage through misdirection.

Through these maneuvers the inner self does teach the ego the proper use of these inner potentials. The inner self literally carries the ego, and provides life sustenance. Now you may take your break.

The sale of the painting has already taken place within inner reality. I am not sure here, I believe a three-week period may be involved before the actualization. But an individual has already decided to buy; and two will be bought shortly, one by a man and one by a woman.
