“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Personal Reality, a book Ruburt may have heard of, does indeed deal precisely with such issues. No particular episodes alone, though they may seem to do so, ever cause a particular condition, say, of illness, though such episodes may be used as catalysts. Instead, the framework of belief in which the episodes occur has prime importance. Fears should not he inhibited, but encountered, and yet behind all of them, in your time at least, lies the feeling that the individual is powerless against the conditions of his body or the events of the world.

You must understand that basically—basically—both body and mind are mental. You are dealing with translations of impulses, beliefs and feelings into flesh, which in itself is composed of consciousnesses also. It is difficult to verbalize, but your question “Why doesn’t the subconscious know when to stop, if its defenses actually become too dangerous?” is asked in too limited a framework, though I understand your concern and what you mean. The self knows it has many lives to live. It knows no limitations last. The body and mind are one, and in that unity, regardless of appearances, one is the materialization of the other.

Ruburt is back to writing, which means that he has made inroads again. He has been emphasizing the problem, which adds to the feeling of hopelessness. There has been however on both of your parts a new determination to do what is necessary, an impetus not to let matters ride, and a new quickening at other levels of your own relationship with each other, so that your love for each other in Framework 2 is coming to your aid now.
