“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: you spoke earlier this evening of moments in boyhood when you simply observed and appreciated the natural world. If you are each ahead of your times in certain terms, you are very much in the natural world. You are in your times then in important biological and psychic ways, interconnected with all other physical creatures, and with the natural world itself. There is a cultural world, and a natural one.

Alienation in small doses can be a stimulus for achievement, but overdone it is of no help at all. Your feelings, so brief this evening as you looked outdoors, were therapeutic, rewarding, positive. Your cells were even aware in their way of your emotion. The summer night was here, present to your senses. Had you at the same moment instead thought, for example, about Prentice-Hall in a negative way, or about any other negative event of the past or probable future, you would have responded to an event that in an important way was not immediately a part of the facts of the natural world.

(11:42.) Now Ruburt has been concentrating upon the symptoms, imagining this or that, often not responding to the moment as it is, but to imagined future events and moments filled with threat or difficulty. Three hours of free writing time are not supposed to be three hours of worry. His state of anxiety must be lessened. The eye condition would disappear, and much more quickly, if he would think of other things, and follow the instructions I have given.

Ruburt’s head was the very earliest portion of the body affected in terms of sinus. The tightening of head muscles, congestion, tightening of the jaw—that area is finally trying to correct itself. Deep breathing, even only a few moments twice a day, will help.

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.

To a lesser degree many of the remarks are to you also. You can pick and choose what you concentrate upon. The natural events are prime data. Those data can transform your inner life. You can instead—anyone can, that is—allow unsynchronized material from probabilities to adversely affect prime natural data, so that the safety of the moment becomes invaded by events that in certain terms have no prime reality.

If they do indeed occur in your future, then they become prime natural events of the moment. In the course of life there is of course a mixture. I am exaggerating somewhat to make an important point. If you overreact to unsynchronized events, then they can invade prime data—and a state of anxiety results.

The eye improvements showed that the eyes are indeed simply strained. His momentary belief allowed improvement. Give us a moment.... I answered your question mentioned earlier, at least in part. Read it and I will offer more if you want (about how often an individual may have the same dream, say about health, until it “gets through” to the personality and is acted upon).
