“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I had several questions for Seth, which had grown out of the talk Jane and I had after breakfast. I could see through the day that they’d depressed her, however, so at session time when she mentioned them, I suggested we forget them. They’re noted here, although I think that at least a good portion of tonight’s material stemmed from remarks I made after supper, when I talked about not using my own abilities as much as I might have over the years.

Last week Ruburt did fairly well. He actually concentrated upon Seven, typed it creatively, walked several times a day, began to help with meals and with the house, and comparatively speaking you both had a fairly good week. Then, once again, you both began to concentrate upon the problem. Ruburt’s legs activated themselves in rather strenuous fashion in bed. You both became frightened, and there is no need to blame yourselves.

He does need to put his full weight on his feet more, though last week was a good compromise for now—but overall the body has been more exercised. You must both be on guard against comparing his walking with normal walking.

The best way to protect yourselves from an enemy, for example, is to exaggerate your enemy’s power and evil qualities, and this is somehow supposed to bring about peace. The way to solve a health problem, whether private or national, is to emphasize its existence, exaggerate its characteristics, and project into the future, and this is supposed to bring health.

I bid you a fond good evening.
