“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now there are distinctions to be made. The negative patterns, many of them, came from conscious deductions made about the nature of reality. They seeped down into the personal subconscious layer, causing blockages here that prevented even deeper areas of the self (pause) from giving necessary help.

It does indeed; and it continues along all lines available to it. If it is cut off in one area it will find another. Now the reversal of the negative trend has already taken place, so openings are available. But both of you are overanxious, and even you concentrate too much upon what seems to be the enormity of the difficulty, or Ruburt’s present predicament.

It is exactly what you must avoid, and what you tell Ruburt he must avoid, for it does reinforce the present condition. You both have a tendency to concentrate upon remaining symptoms, or intensified ones, and to give little attention to the improvements. It is as if the improvements did not exist, and they do.

That is an important sentence. You are both concentrating on the remaining symptoms, and the improvements escape you. You do not give energy to them, nor look for them. You look for the remaining symptoms. You do not add reality, physical reality then, to improvements as they first show—you do not nurse them expectantly as you would a seed. You concentrate on the part of the plant that is not doing as well.

(Panic is not the right word exactly—anger would be better. I felt the episode was unnecessary. This is being typed on May 10—three days after it was held. So far Jane hasn’t said anything about what caused Tuesday’s episode.)
