“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment.... When the world-view enlarges to include more sophisticated cultural environments then, however, the body must rely upon the conscious mind’s interpretation of events. While the animal may encounter danger, it does not feel that its world is not safe. Fear of a biological nature is in itself healthy. It is only when it is prolonged unnaturally that it leads to difficulties. Again, give us a moment.... Imagined fears, projected into the future, put the body in a state of stress unknown to the animal. When you feel that your world is not safe the body may respond in many ways, according to the characteristic temperament and beliefs. Ruburt has been playing dead. His ideas convinced the body that playing dead was the way to insure overall survival. The body might object, but it still must rely upon the conscious mind’s interpretation of events, that it realizes are beyond its realm.

Now: in a way the game is up—for Ruburt finally realizes that there is nothing organically wrong with the body. For some time he convinced himself that there was. The love implied in the fact that you help him with suggestions is highly important, because that love implies safety. In the past you have reinforced each other’s beliefs in an unsafe universe. These beliefs have become a part of your private and joint realities, affecting you (me) invisibly as they affect Ruburt visibly.
