“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

When you go against those feelings you cannot be satisfied with any decision. There are issues involved that you are unconsciously aware of—concerning, say, the people. The knowledge will merge with your own conscious feelings at the time. You are tinged by conventional ideas and judgments—natural enough, but they often contradict your intuitive feelings, and make you act counter to them.

You, Joseph, were initially annoyed by Lady Caroline (from Arizona), who came in the taxi. You felt she intruded. Quickly, however, you felt sorry for her. Conventional attitudes began to speak: you should be kind to guests. The woman had come from so far away. Your original feelings of intrusion represented your own attitude, and your instant recognition of her character. Your original feelings were the correct ones, so to speak.

The career would have fallen into conventional pattern for money’s sake. Your understanding, stretched somewhat by earlier ideas, would have fallen backward, so that you ever strained against it. You would have had physical difficulties of quite important natures.
