“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In areas where he is doing well, such limitations, and resulting limiting behavior, do not occur to him. In the Air Force situation, for example, he did not say “I cannot possibly deny physical laws, or know what is going on in another place, or even at another time.” He enjoyed defying the physical evidence accepted by the scientist and others.

In any area, an attempt to alter an unfavorable circumstance will always find you, at one stage, flying in the face of all physical evidence to the contrary. Do you follow me?

Again, since you are culturally taught, to accept physical data as your criteria for physical reality, this is to some extent quite understandable. Ruburt in most other areas has discarded that concept, however, and in so doing has enlarged the experiences of his consciousness, and confounded those who accept such principles unthinkingly, as the Air Force personnel.

To some extent this belief of his is quite shared by you, and if his symptoms seem so self-evident to you, imagine how self-evident they seem to him. You form your own reality. You are learning how to do this more consciously. Those areas in which you have doubts are of course the challenging ones. Give us a moment....

Give us a moment.... Since you understand so clearly the reasons for his problem, his lack of belief in the fact that he can indeed get well, then do your best to remind him that he can get well. And that you are not as hypnotized by his symptoms as he is.

I told you both to do certain suggestions together, because your belief in them and your effectiveness could help him revive his own body beliefs. The fact is that both of you are nearly hypnotized by the physical effects. While the main challenge is his, you can help by reviving your own beliefs that he can indeed return to normal physical behavior.

—sadly, and with a nostalgic remembrance, because you do not believe that Ruburt can change his beliefs enough, and this, you see, is precisely what he fears. It is, however, most probable simply because the evidence is before you in all areas of your lives—that his energy, when it is directed, is most effective. We simply want it now directed in the physical area.

The same unconventional defiance of official beliefs shown in the Air Force affair can indeed be translated into other terms. Is want you, together, to do the suggestions again; but more, to assert individually and jointly, against what seems to be the physical evidence of Ruburt’s senses.
