“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: distorted as it is, and it is distorted, the science of mind book, coming from outside of himself, in those terms, is valuable, for it reminded him of his own power. He was afraid that despite his efforts he could not get better. Now you also have shared that belief strongly enough in any case so that your joint beliefs merged. His symptoms represent for him the one point of vacuum, comparatively speaking, where the acceleration that has otherwise occurred has not as yet clearly penetrated; and jointly they represent the area in which your combined beliefs have not caught up to your knowledge.

In that area you have individually and, jointly, and on Ruburt’s part more than yours, allowed yourselves to become hypnotized by “effects.” Nor have you really, with feeling, except for certain times, allowed yourselves to clearly work jointly and together to clear those effects—with faith in your abilities to do so.

You form your private and joint realities. For various reasons you have not really focused on solving the problem, but you have focused upon the problem, and there is a vast difference. Lately the body has again made attempts to cure itself, as left alone all bodies will. I will see to it that you have material to follow, but a change of attitude will be necessary. You must each believe—Ruburt more than you, obviously—that a complete cure is possible. But think in terms of his expressing various gradations of freedom, rather than of freedom as an absolute.
