“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Help given resentfully is little help. It does not help the giver or the receiver to any strong degree, and may in fact harm both. Help given spontaneously out of love is the only kind of real help to giver or receiver, and yet this important kind of help is often denied expression because of the inner resentments.

Your mother is quite shrewd however, and has grown these years. In the past she would have been quite able to face and handle everyone’s honesty, and honesty would have been far kinder. So the true love and compassion goes crying, while you are forced to express an exterior love and compassion many times.

You were also close friends. You came from a different country, where the weathering effect upon statues was different. (Denmark? I hated to interrupt with a lot of questions. I thought we could fill in details in later sessions.) This is a long subject however. There was difficulty with varnishes, sometimes drying before the color upon which they were applied. Also varnishes that did not dry evenly, but with accumulations of oils resulting. On frescos this was disastrous enough.
