“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Within Ruburt’s present physical situation there is a degree of freedom for the trip and for enjoyment—an opportunity for manipulation, and understanding this will add to that freedom. You are each concentrating on negatives when you ignore the freedom that does exist, and denying yourselves pleasures that could help enlarge that freedom. This does not apply to the trip alone. Give us a moment.... If you both understood all I have said about the point of power, you would not compare the present physical situation with what is desired, and set the present situation in an unfavorable light, but as a progressive series of stepping stones toward the desired state.

(Much louder and forcefully:) As far as your trip is concerned, concentrate upon the pleasures that are possible within it, so that neither of you manage to overstrain yourselves and forget the condition for one minute. I should not need to tell you this: see yourselves enjoying yourselves, having a good time, even within the horrendous conditions as they exist. You should each be ashamed of yourselves for ignoring the abilities, the freedoms and the pleasures that you have, and instead concentrating on the one area in which lacks are apparent, while at the same time not utilizing the methods I have given you to fully help yourselves in that area—and instead focusing your imagination to continue the situation.

In such a situation all enthusiasm becomes taboo, unrealistic, and only fear is realistic or logical. You allow yourselves little freedom in which to operate by ignoring, belittling, and denying the freedoms that are available.

The means and methods should not be stressed however, for these will automatically follow. That is, in whatever way you can, see yourselves having a productive, enjoyable, creative journey. Ruburt should not wonder, for example, how he is going to manage in the morning, but overall see himself as enjoying himself, and the rest will follow.

Do not hit yourselves over the head because of this session, wondering how you could be so stupid, for example. You know little, regardless of the mail, about the personal situation of others and the emotional climate in which they live.

Some night later when this is over, I will give you some important information that will catch up with you, so to speak. So do not be downhearted. See yourselves in a future in which this session has long ago been given and followed with excellent results.
