“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The symptoms then have operated as controls, a framework in which spontaneity was allowed—but allowed only so far. The very fact that anyone looking at him sees he has not solved all problems is meant to portray exactly that message.

Give us a moment.... He fears for the gullibility of people, and is rightly appalled at their superstitions, as indeed you are, Joseph. In his case, however, much of this had to do with quite normal reactions—not voiced or expressed. When in the beginning you were cautious, and worried about his overdoing it, or going into trance at the drop of a hat, he relied upon you in that way. When your enthusiasm grew, and your trust in his abilities, then he felt that to voice any fears at all in your eyes meant that he did not trust his abilities himself.

Give us a moment. He trusts me far more than he did. Me, as apart from the material. Tell him that I can be trusted to monitor any and all of his experiences of a psychic nature. Whenever a fear spontaneously comes into his mind about his work, he should voice it to you. There is more, but if you want to end the session go ahead, and I will continue at the end of our next one.

The suggestion I gave is highly important, with the precise wording. He has been afraid to go ahead. He is not one to compromise, and compromise has caused the physical condition. There is no way out of it except for him to allow himself the freedom of his being. When he thinks he might try an out-of-body at a nap, have him tell you, and call him at a certain time. Assure him that you will not only approve his spontaneity in all areas, but also check his activities and monitor them. I will also. That is the end of the session for tonight.
