“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are surrounded physically by only so much to be immediately dealt with, mentally or physically. You are also surrounded by imaginative events, however, here, in the terms of our discussion. I mean events that have no immediate, present natural existence. They either existed in the past or might in the future.

What I said to you about your moment with the evening, my remarks about responding to the present moment—these all involve ways of dealing with basic attitudes in your individual and joint behavior. I have given Ruburt physical and mental suggestions that should relieve stress and produce motion and creativity.

Ruburt is used to dealing with subjective events. He examines them. For him it is important, more than for many others, that he choose events with some discretion. When his mental event is, say, a book, he becomes engrossed in it, and this is positive. When he becomes overly concerned with his symptoms, however, the same event occurs, the same process, but with negative results.
