“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He thinks “I must be wrong. If Jane didn’t want to talk she would have said so,” for Frank is not used to trusting his own intuitions. People are not that easily hurt by honesty. Your beliefs make it very difficult for you to achieve your solitude. While you desire it and feel it necessary, you also to some extent are afraid of it, lest it cut you off too much from your fellows.

In your position, then, Friday night could be a time when your friends know you are available, free, and looking forward to sociability. You would be if the rest of the week were cleared—and it would be cleared if you realized that what was involved was simply a matter of your own quite natural working habits and convenience, and made it clear that people were welcome at another time.

Your time will now shortly be your own. You must manage it with conscious decisions, even if you go on trial basis with different methods, working toward what suits you best. It is not the method you latch upon that is important, but that you insist upon making conscious decisions, and taking conscious control of your time. In the past you felt and believed that this was not possible, and so your attempts failed, largely because you were afraid—overly afraid —of hurting other peoples’ feelings, and somewhat afraid that your desire for solitude would cut you off too much from others.

This time he is improving in spite of the working men, for example. In the past several days his body has responded remarkably well, with vitally important loosening taking place. Those improvements are better than even I would have expected, even though the overall locomotion is very uneven.

That is why I want that other issue, so important to both of you, jointly and consciously tackled. If you are so afraid of hurting peoples’ feelings face to face, then lock your doors, and put a “people working, come back later” sign outside. At least you would feel that you were in control of your time, for you are.

“Unknown” Reality, Volume 2, and Psyche, will come out fairly close together. Prentice will follow any policy there that you want, and indeed would welcome your own ideas, for without them they are not certain of your intents. They will almost always follow firm statements by either of you, and they look for your direction.

You each saw a program about animal motion. The action of the eyes is intimately connected with the speed and mobility of the body—intimately connected, for that matter, with all organs. Naturally, then, Ruburt’s eyes are changing. A rather usual error would be to treat the eyes through different glasses, thereby locking them into a transitory phase. You should have received enough evidence, and fine evidence thus far, to show you that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with Ruburt’s eyes, per se. As he changes his motions they will acclimate. The unevenness of vision is the result of the entire body changes, shiftings of jaw pressure, release of ligaments, and an entire body reorientation.

The suggestion is that you work three nights, and that you do this at least three nights each month. End of session. You would be surprised at the results. But at least give the matter consideration, for that alone will help.

Such a ritual would add considerable refreshment to your spirits and creativity, and also throw light upon your daily behavior.
