“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At my suggestion Jane has started a notebook in which to record experiences with her “beam of energy,” a concept I personally find most interesting, and with out-of-body trips, and other such adventures. She’s already added several episodes to her notes.

Regardless of these differences, the overall picture is largely the same: you cannot trust yourself, your body, the natural world. You are everywhere presented with the evidence. The headlines speak of problems between nations, mass and private crime, illness. The misuse of animals, man’s stupidity and cruelty, so it seems that the species is nearly insane.

She does not trust her body nor her fellow men. She watches news for stories of illnesses and robbers.

All of the heroism, the private and even mass triumph, and the good intent, have been left out. The world is seen as a patient, sick in body, insane of mind, a thing that needs treatment, a Freudian and Darwinian monster. Even with your own changed beliefs, the two of you still see that mirror when you read a newspaper, and do not realize the invisible organizations behind the news. It makes it seem foolhardy to relax, doesn’t it? (Ironically, leaning forward for emphasis.)

You can if you prefer forget terms like hypnosis, but between tonight’s and next Saturday night’s session, I strongly advise that you take a half-hour: it can be nap time. Or any time. Have Ruburt lie of the bed comfortably. You sit beside him or lie on the bed as you prefer—but verbally reassure him. Tell his body that the muscles can relax, that you are there, and it is safe for him to let go.

Hopefully, I am teaching you to reorganize your inner lives, so that you attract the best to yourselves from inner and outer reality. Your suggestions to Ruburt along psychic lines were excellent—that he do more energy experiments. His own intention to try out-of-body experiments again is also excellent because it shows a change of intent.

For a while I would like that done twice weekly. Then, however, I would like you each, for one-half hour twice a week, to use your own separate relaxation techniques. Such exercises state and reinforce your intent, reinforce it through physical action, and the relaxation will set you free in your psychic endeavors, bringing your nightly dreams into clearer focus, because you are setting up consciously a better relationship between your mind and your body.
