“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon I reminded Jane that she should read the 657th session in Chapter 15 of Personal Reality. It contains Seth’s material on the present point of power; I came across it while checking out a reference for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. Looking it over, I saw at once that it contained the key to Jane’s solving her challenges with the symptoms. At the same time, it depressed me deeply as I thought of the opportunities we’d missed through the years. My depression grew through the afternoon, the session, while I slept, and woke again. At the same time, I do think we’ve made some progress through our own work with the pendulum.)

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.

The material in Personal Reality, however, contains psychological and psychic truths. Those truths have indeed, and as of now, helped millions of people. Those people were not involved in such a psychic initiation, however, in your time, so they can in your terms afford to use such helpful information, and do not feel any need at all to hold themselves apart from it as Ruburt has.

In that regard he becomes overly conscientious. We have never told anyone to do anything, except to face up to the abilities of consciousness. Because of that attitude, however, and because of the critical—or, rather, overly critical stance—he has held himself more aloof than necessary from using the material itself. The ideas, for example, in Personal Reality are exactly those that will resolve his doubts and remove his fears, and the techniques given do work.

Now in the past I have not emphasized it. I want his beliefs written out. I want all the exercises done that he tells others to do, and I want both of you to consider your beliefs about the world as beliefs. Do not accept them uncritically, as there you do. I want you both to discuss together the ideas in the book, and to literally begin a program in which your purpose is to put those ideas to use where you need them.

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.
