“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am, again, not telling you to be blind to physical events, but to realize that the news media, and your organizations, are not giving you an “objective” view of the world, but a view compounded and composed by Freudian and Darwinian beliefs. I would also like to remind you both of the difference between direct experience and second-handed tales. Examine your own personal experience with physical reality now and then when you have a moment (with irony), relying only upon your own experience. It is impossible, I know, and not really beneficial, to try to separate yourselves entirely from the cultural world, but you should understand the makeup of that world, and be able now and then at least to separate your private experiences from it, even though they must occur in its context.

All of these things to some extent stand in the way of Ruburt’s recovery. They point precisely to those areas in which both of you heartily agreed, though Ruburt’s way of getting work done was not yours. This session must be taken into consideration with other ones, for I am making certain points here that are important, but that do not of course stand alone.

Such an event represents an intent on both of your parts, you see, a joint effect, a changing of bodily response to a situation.

There is a pattern to your own dream life, however, that is emerging, and the suggestion I gave you this evening, involving Ruburt’s relaxation, is rather double-barreled in that regard. James had a rather good remark, that the hypnotist must first hypnotize himself—and that is also a double-barreled remark, for my suggestion will benefit both of you also in other areas.
