“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 his situation however he has largely felt powerless to alter the conditions. Part of this is personal, but part is also cultural, and shows the one area of cultural beliefs from which Ruburt has not freed himself. At times it has seemed at best Pollyanna, even to you, in the face of Ruburt’s daily situation, and your intimate experience with it, to pretend playfully that it did not exist.

Imaginative exercises at times seemed impractical, or suggestion futile. The fact is that suggestions work—when you believe that they work. (Louder.)

Ruburt has on several occasions, but each time let the physical data cow him.
