“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His idea of noting down the pleasures or good points of the day should be maintained. He dropped it. A heavy-handed application of suggestion should be avoided—and look carefully for negative suggestions that may be implied on either of your parts. To be relieved of these is half the battle.

Ruburt’s list about what he will do when he is completely well is a good idea. Except that as an act of faith you see he should begin to carry out some of those points now.

(At last break I had asked that Seth deal with three questions tonight after finishing dictation on his book: 1. The ideas behind Jane’s exaggerated response to events, particularly fears. 2. The idea of physical activity on her part instead of suggestion. 3. I was curious to know something about the mechanics behind Jane’s slowed-up movements after she had been quiet for a while. That is, after she had been sitting for, say, half an hour, she was slow in getting up and under way, etc.

There are many different reasons involved there, depending upon the circumstances, his mental activities, and the habits, mental and physical, built up with the idea of sitting or lying down.

I will take that up with this idea of motion and response. I cannot answer it for you in five minutes. But I will tell you that expectation is highly pertinent here on both of your parts.... Now I bid you a fond good evening, and I will go into the weight problem rather thoroughly, after dictation.
