“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you try to use the insights of one level of consciousness to reach the goals of a “lower level of consciousness,” you run into difficulty. I will try to make this as clear as possible.

You are faced of course with conditions built up of long-held attitudes. In general, however, you are tying the highest faculties of your consciousness to goals that are at least unbecoming to them, and because you have still accepted the tenets of conventionalized beliefs. You cannot serve two masters at any one time with hopes of doing justice to either, and you only confuse yourselves. It is the mixture of consciousness with which you form your events that causes the difficulty.

(Loud and amused:) Your ideas about houses, for example, did not bear fruit until you had one. You did not either, incidentally have to confront your negative beliefs about taxes until you were lucky enough, and creative enough, to find yourself in a position where you need pay a considerable amount. You could have chosen to remain poor, and hence avoid the difficulty.

The relaxation will help both of you physically. You have not fully relaxed, and that will relieve you of the chest difficulty along with the understanding, I hope, that will come to you as the result of this session.
