“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You, while being of great help, could not subjectively follow him, or lead him into out-of-body activity, and so he felt he had only himself to rely upon. He would go ahead. Then write down his material, check it out cautiously.

He wanted to keep both feet on the ground—not to fly away physically. Much of this has to do with the fact that he did not express his normal fears, but felt them beneath him, so that they built up. The body expresses them instead.

He was not able to express these feelings to you, however. He felt you would not understand them, for you valued his abilities so much that it seemed, by contrast, that he should profess no fears. It is a fact that fears were hidden, that caused body beliefs to operate.

Give us time.... He is indeed going in relatively unexplored realms. This takes courage. He has been dealing in many levels at once. In one he had to “prove” his mental stability, to his way of thinking. Since he is spontaneous, to him that meant appearing instead always calm, reasonable. On an inner level it meant, however, progressing slowly—probing the abilities, learning his way, while having a constant touch with the body, unpleasant or not, that would keep him physically oriented.

The body beliefs then grew up to answer that need. Because the inner fears were not recognized, no efforts were made to face them, challenge them, or conquer them. The fears, denied then, prevented him from further developing abilities and strengths that would automatically conquer the fears, and perceiving experiences that would prove the fears groundless.

(Pause at 11:51.) He grew up in your culture, so it seemed wrong to him, for example, not to orient physically in those terms, but to dream in the afternoon, have an out-of-body experience, and so forth. It went against the work ethic.

The very fact that he realizes such fears and faces them is automatically releasing. He does trust me now. It is when he is on his own, so to speak, that he is worried. He does not have to be on his own, however. That separation was the result of his beliefs. For that matter, you look out for him in his out-of-body travels. Tell him that. Even though you are not consciously aware of the fact.
