“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A bodybuilder begins with certain weights that he can handle. He does not berate himself because he cannot yet achieve greater weights. As much as possible, then, think in terms of Ruburt not so much as having certain symptoms, but as being simply out of condition and trying to reestablish certain physical skills. Do not concentrate upon the lacks. This alteration of perspective can be of great help.

Try not to use the word “symptoms” in your pendulum work from now on. There are other ways, but the word has served its purpose. “Is my body out of condition because,” for example. There are endless other ways, but the change of focus as I have suggested will automatically bring a change in your questions. Always end your pendulum sessions with the new beliefs you want to instill, reinforcing whatever you have learned from that particular session. The idea of those pendulum sessions should not be to find out what is wrong, but to discover Ruburt’s feelings and beliefs, and to ascertain how they can be changed to bring about more favorable conditions.

It is imperative, however, that you make an effort not to think in terms of “the symptoms” any longer, but instead to think of ways that Ruburt can condition his body, realizing that he need not be at the mercy of old fears.
