“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What you need is a preponderance of constructive words. This often has nothing to do with numbers of words, but emotionally charged words. They sway the mental state in certain directions. Suggestions given then, good ones, to a mind already distracted by fear or worry, will do little good.

As he is feeding himself now, have him think of his thoughts as nourishment, so that he feeds himself constructive nourishing thoughts. He needs them. This will automatically allow him to gain weight faster, for much of the energy taken in goes out through these worries.

You remind him not to project negatively into the future. He needs the reminder. Again, as mentioned, you helped him the other night, bringing him into the moment constructively, and this is what is needed. He also should be encouraged to feel his energy, and rouse it. When he demands it of himself it is always there. If this is handled correctly the entire project can (underline) incite emotional excitement. If so, it has excellent chances. The more exciting it can be made the better, for this alone will rouse his enthusiasm.

He was ashamed of needing you to do this for him initially, yet realized your support was necessary at that point. The problem was to help him reestablish his own initiative in that regard. In the same way, if he could count on you in the exercises for a while, this would relieve him of the fear that the project, begun unsuccessfully in the past, and not continued, would follow the same pattern. I do not suggest more than 20 minutes for him in the beginning however.
