“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I want to begin by reminding you that these divisions to the self are rather arbitrary, for the sake of discussion. The ego, again, looks into the physical world. The source self, or inner ego, has its prime reality in Framework 2. Between the ego and the inner ego, you have what you think of as the unconscious. It gets its energy of course from the source self, and its primary directives to insure the fulfillment and the survival of the person. To some extent then it must depend upon conscious deductions and reasoning. With that as background let me continue.

You have a good point of organization with your pendulum work today. Fear of the kind mentioned (scorn and ridicule)is behind the symptoms. Whenever our sessions, your own efforts, or other events, have convinced Ruburt either of the personal safe universe or of the basic safety of the self, that reassurance helped quiet the unconscious fears, and allowed him then to direct his will toward physical improvements.

Tell the subconscious that you understand its purposes, and thank it for its concern. Apologize for cutting off the important give-and-take of feelings, and admit that under the circumstances it was given, its own fears were justified. You did not give it all the facts. “You” here is Ruburt. You did not grant its feelings any validity. Remind the subconscious that its origin is with the source self; which will indeed provide it automatically with the necessary conditions for safety and survival.

All of this goes back, forgive me, to fears that the spontaneous self will in one way or another get him in trouble.

My standards of spiritual behavior, I would say, are as pertinent as your own, as “high,” yet I can honestly say that your self-righteousness blinds you both to the good intent, however misguided, in say even political actions. Look how Ruburt’s unconscious tries to protect him, with symptoms that you certainly find most disagreeable, because Ruburt has not given his unconscious, say, all of the facts.
