“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It places his mind on physical performance, and leads automatically into the future in a positive way as he achieves in simpler exercises and then goes on. The exercises themselves then help combat negative suggestions on both of your parts, for you are reassured by any progress. Ruburt reacts to the reassurance that you feel.

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.

The exaggeration of negative influences was brought about because of the repression. Now, for example: so as not to bother you, Ruburt made it a point of conscience to speak to your mother on the phone for you, and not call you, when he did not want to do so. Very seldom was he even aware of his true feelings here, and when he was he was ashamed of them, and was 10 times nicer to your mother to cover up the feelings from all of you.

There are some connections here with his mother being in bed and in pain, that frighten him. And negative images, deeply repressed, of her sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to get up. He automatically projects distaste into your eyes at the spectacle, and is humiliated when you see him trying to get up. That is why he often waits until you are in the other room. This gives him a first defeat for the day, you see, and early. I will give you more at the end of our next session. (Humorously:) Have you had enough for tonight?
