“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You met these aspects in yourself and were able to identify the characteristics, and therefore deal with them. Ruburt has found that more difficult. This afternoon, and at various times, he has been able to isolate certain series of thoughts and feelings, and identify them as restrictive. Before he simply acquiesced to then, and was not able to perceive them as troublesome habitual patterns. These patterns lead quite predictably to moods of powerlessness and restriction.

In this life the early background meant that Ruburt’s writing was done in the face of great distractions. He learned to turn them off. Now give us a moment.... (9:55). It is important that when he recognizes such patterns now, as he is beginning to, that he communicate them to you (as Jane did after supper tonight), until he gets used to handling them alone. He trusts your common sense, and such a measure will insure that the habitual mood reactions are cut short.

Your own behavior with him has been excellent, and highly reinforcing. The love-making in particular must be encouraged, and it arouses your own spontaneity as well as his. Several advances have been made, all with your help. His inner self-image is changing. The morning mood is not nearly as glum. He has even smiled, and some physical improvements have been noticed.

His physical condition had been so poor however that rising alone, he had that mood in any case to face. The anticipation of surprising you did help him conquer it to some degree. An alternate suggestion is for each of you to rise very early, well before the normal working day. While you are typing this would be workable. I am offering suggestions here, but overall I recommend that Ruburt maintain so many hours, and feel free after that to indulge in those impulses that he will now be more and more aware of.
