“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will do better, for I have suggestions that will help you.

Now: as Ruburt often imagined the worst possibility, and thought that he was being practical in doing so, in terms of his physical condition, gums and all, so you do the same thing in these given areas.

When you let yourself go, your “natural” feelings lead you to fear that they will mutilate photographs, or in some way cheapen the book, dragging it down from the ideal. You have not really gotten it through your head that such thoughts do not represent practical reality, but impractical reality. But the main problem is the dilemma caused by the difference between the ideal and a feared, opposing actuality.

(10:06.) Now: your money paid in taxes will go to support a system that, when all is said and done, presently, tries to support its citizens despite all its weaknesses and stupidities. It does, as Ruburt thinks often, support other poor but gifted youngsters, and poor and ungifted youngsters (with amusement). It preserves a quite necessary organization in which, overall, nationally at least, changes do occur for the better without massive disruptions.

Your money will go into ventures you approve of. Underline that sentence. It will be used to support people or ventures that in one way or another seek goals that are in line with our work. When you thoroughly understand what is meant by the entire safe universe concept, then the physical, cultural climate is understood as a medium through which the ideal can be expressed—can be expressed. The ideal is meaningless if it is not physically manifest to one degree or another. The ideal seeks expression. It seeks those channels that it instinctively knows will yield expression. In doing so it often seems to change or alter in ways that are not understood.

(11:15.) Ruburt’s approach with the gums is a good one. It can work if he changes his beliefs quickly enough, since the overall physical condition is vastly accelerated. His impressions earlier this evening are very significant, as you will both shortly see. Do not consider your own symptoms as weakness, or as something to be ashamed of in the face of the ideal of perfect health.

Instead see your body quite intelligently, and inform it that some of your attitudes have distressed it. The session should help considerably. Do you have questions?
