“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The two of you are after all people, they think, and since they distrust themselves they cannot really understand how the two of you trust yourselves as much as you do. They use my position as a substitute for the authority they are trying to give up. They think “If I had a Seth (loudly), I too would progress,” and so forth.

They are afraid of vulnerability. They are between the comic book world and your own. They yearn for an authority they can trust. Ruburt’s books show that it is not all that easy, in their terms. They want to believe that he depends upon me to make all his decisions, and they do not want to hear about his independent thinking. They are between dependence and independence, at the level of which I am speaking.

Or worse—what comic book reader wants Clark Kent to shout out from the phone booth, or wherever “You can do this too, or your version, because we all have a reality in which we are Clark Kent and Superman at one and the same time?” Such people simply want Superman to perform his miracles.

Give us a moment.... To an important extent, you disdain the opinions of your age, of your times. At the same time, to some extent, you act as if you court them. You purposefully go against the conventions and beliefs of your times. You even stay out of the various “underground movements” that have some following, and would embrace you. With all due regards (amused), I speak to your fellow men and women in a certain democracy of spirit. I do not restrict my words or my works to those who in any way or terms may be considered stupid, or dumb, or greedy, or incompetent or silly. My books carry no such prejudice—or they are addressed to those portions of the personality that exist inviolate.

Practically speaking now, all of my suggestions should be followed, given in the last sessions, and they should be read again by each of you. The loving encouragement, again, is highly important, for here you must change habits, both of you, of conditioning. I do not think you believe me yet, but I must repeat: (After a long pause:) I am searching for a new way to explain this....

His head has been congested for a long time—the neck, jaw, sinus, eyes all being affected, and that condition began before any symptoms were noticeable. The sinus inhaler was a crutch. When he became nervous he didn’t breathe properly. His head became congested and he used the inhaler.

The foot and finger reflexology in particular stimulated all the areas of the head, activating various nerve passageways. Muscles in the head and neck area that had been held fairly rigid had to respond. The tissues of the feet have become a good deal more flexible, softer, resulting in a kind of massage that opened up nerve impulses that do affect the knees, eyes, and ears.

(One important notes I typed this session the next day, Sunday, of course. This morning Jane began to exclaim over the improvement in her vision—her left eye would “click in” as she put it, and her sight would be sharp. The effects were very pronounced, and continued as we went shopping, etc. Jane is delighted. They still continue “clicking in” as I finish this session, late Sunday afternoon. “The first improvements at all,” Jane exclaimed. I think she should set up a definite program of reflexology now, with the aim of helping the knees as well as the eyes.)
