“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Because of your natures, to a far greater extent than most, you and Ruburt have strayed in such a fashion. Because of your natures, you are seeking answers to the most difficult problems of life and death alike, on your own, so to speak. This is because your natures require it. You want to do it. At the same time you provide a new group of suggestions, an alternate way for others. In the meantime, however, you have no cozy categories in which to place your experience.

In a way everything is new. This of course requires on your parts energy, self-reliance, faith in what you are doing, and a certain stubbornness. At the same time you are everywhere surrounded by the suggestions of your culture.

It is highly important that you do keep up your communications with each other, and that you begin each day in one way or another by stating your faith in the body’s processes. This would take but a few moments. It is also important, now, that you concentrate upon your own creative works, both of you—Ruburt particularly, so that he takes his mind off of his body, and focuses elsewhere. Since you are doing this alone, more or less, it is natural to be upset at times, but when your confidence is greater than your doubts, Ruburt always improves.

It does no good to exaggerate Ruburt’s condition, and if you do not exaggerate it, then you must admit the improvements that have lately occurred.

Because you do not rely upon mass suggestions and mass frameworks, it is then highly vital that you learn to set up your own alternate patterns. You do this from scratch, where of course most people have not set themselves such challenges or opportunities for creativity.

Because you were born in this culture, it is not surprising that you still fall prey to lack of trust in yourselves, or in the body’s abilities to cure itself. Teachings to the contrary have been deeply imbedded. You do have something extremely valuable when you realize it, though this is often lost to you in practical terms because of your fears and negative projections. The large majority of people are confused, besieged, and struggling without any clear idea of why they are in such a state, and with barely a hundredth fraction of your insight or understanding, unable to form their own framework, yet aware that the conventional one is sadly lacking. Your sense of direction may be far more obvious to them than to you, because they sense it so vitally in contrast to their own condition.

Dedicate yourselves as I have said. Be honest. If someone comes to the door and you do not want to see them, make a polite excuse. If you feel so inclined, see the person. Make a decision, however, whatever it is, and stick to it in any case—that is, in any given case: you follow me? You will learn that way, and your decisions will be in league with your inclinations at the time.

When you do not trust your inclinations then you must indeed make rules to follow instead. It takes but a moment to check with each other, though so far you usually answer the door, but state your feelings to Ruburt clearly, then ask for his, and make your decision jointly. One of you may want to talk to the person involved, or both of you, or neither. There is no strain that should be involved. The affair is taken care of in a few moments.

When you do not trust your own feelings, however, and do not have specific rules governing such issues either, then few decisions are clearly made, or are even halfway agreeable. The visitors that you honestly feel like seeing you will also help the most, and there will be something about them that will benefit you, so that the encounter is creative overall.

Do you have questions?

He might have died of heart trouble by the age of 40, for literally his heart would have been broken, and communication between the two of you would have quite fallen away. His heart is as strong as an ox (definitely). Do not think then that your creative endeavors have caused you difficulties, or that without them life would have been a bed of roses.

When you feel the sessions do not help, it is of course because you doubt yourselves, and you doubt yourselves because of the very cultural reality you are in the process of changing for yourselves and others.

Do you have questions?

When you say others do you mean—
