“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had the “tooth bit” in a rather distant way, briefly after breakfast and after supper today. We talked over the causes, used some suggestions, and that seemed to take care of it. She feels much better. She is writing down her fears, angers, good points, etc., each day. This has been very revealing.

They must therefore be duly faced each day until they normally diminish into normal daily concern. Do not forget, in whatever way you choose to use it, the importance of reinforcing his sense of worth, despite what he does. The charge built up, for him (underlined) about time and work, is masking of course his fear of not achieving as he wants to. This is aside from normal practical considerations of time.

The fear then colored his other attitudes and reactions. His fear of the tooth pain was a physical interpretation of his fear of facing the dilemma, the pain of bringing it out into the open. Then he found it was not as bad as he thought—he could operate anyway, and amazingly well, as in class (ESP) last evening.

He had to realize his fear and his terrible dilemma in regard to Eleanor because it showed in concentrated form his own fear about his being able to succeed on his own, hence his dependence, that made him resent Eleanor. He had to work through that resentment.

(“You mean by my pendulum?” When I learned not long ago that Jane’s symptoms were caused by her fear that her psychic work was not letting her do her own writing—that she was failing as a writer, that she wanted success as a writer first, not as a psychic, etc.)
