“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you believe that the point of power is in the past in certain areas, then you lose out on a very fine advantage. Let us look at your lives.

It is, therefore, the result of beliefs once helpful carried beyond their time —of defenses no longer needed. It also represents one area where neither of you truly believe that the point of power is in the present. In that one area you grant the power to the past.

You look at the time involved that the symptoms have continued, and you grant more power to that past than you do to the present.

When you tie these abilities to feelings of strong responsibility, serious work, too much, you limit them to whatever degree, and you limit your own expression of them. Ruburt’s held-over feelings about femininity make him try to be overly respectable in his work. The playful abilities find themselves in straightjackets. He becomes afraid of being ostracized. Your own seriousness about work in the past, your own attitudes, linger on in his. He took you too literally.

(11:01.) Now: if you believe me you can end all of this, and Ruburt can regain his normal flexibility. On several occasions in the past we had such sessions. You each managed for a time to achieve that level of intuitive understanding necessary. You followed my directions, and you saw results. I believe, now, if you saw the same results you would each have better sense than to let them go by the board.

If you can only manage to realize that the point of power is in the present, in all areas, then Ruburt’s condition can dramatically improve in a short time. You are afraid of looking for improvements. You do not trust them. You think that because there have been failures in the past, failures are inevitable. Ruburt must reinstate a playful attitude mentally and psychically.
