“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He has overemphasized limitations in the past, of all kinds, and this has led him to deny many of his own positive characteristics—this concentration upon the negative. Now some of this he picked up from you, and then exaggerated. Much of this attitude in passing now.

I suggest however that you continue your own prayer periods, as you have been doing them. Ruburt during his period should imagine feelings of exuberance, energy, and inspiration, general feelings of release and freedom. Let him play a game with himself however as to how long he can honestly forget (underlined) his symptoms in daily activity. Do not give them extra energy through concentration.

The inner self will see to it that he does. Health should be considered then —and this is important—as a means to a desired end; full productive creative work; full use of abilities; daily enjoyment; helping others. When he focuses upon health itself as such, he overconcentrates. Health as a means to excellent performance in fields that are important to him; health as a means to use those abilities with which he has been honored; health as a means to bring joy to himself and hence to others; health as a source of strength that is available always to help him use those abilities and to fulfill his destiny here, now...

Now this information will help in the most important way—to help him get over those blocks still operating. Health as a means of allowing creative energy to flow through him.

Now if you will touch him affectionately, or speak in such a manner, when the two of you first awaken, this gentle reminder of our love and affection will be of great help. Particularly on awakening, and you have helped him immensely through such gestures and affirmations. It is safe for him to relax. This is the important point. (Long pause.)

He should put into the bedroom objects that have particular value for him. I do not mean furniture necessarily. But the bedroom is devoid of the favorite objects he keeps about him in this room. (The living room.) He feels that such objects are protective, and since he is without these he feels more vulnerable.

It is extremely vital that you look at him for signs of improvement, and that this takes your interest. (Long pause.)

You have told him not to concentrate upon his symptoms, and yet you also have a tendency to do so. There is nothing that can work against your desires more. This leads to a sense of desperation, and undermines your confidence.
