“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(She had no idea what Seth would talk about tonight. Neither of us asked any questions.)

(With gentle irony:) You made a remark earlier this evening to the effect that the individual could do nothing in the face of such organized behavior—a remark that by now I’m sure you regret voicing. (I laughed.) Those ideas to begin with began with individuals. The people who make and report the news are individuals. The people who read or view the news are individuals. To some extent through the books you are helping people alter their psychic organizations, to look at the world in a different fashion, and therefore to view a different world—a world in which their experiences are different than they would have been otherwise.

His experiences are entirely different than they would have been. In terms of probability, he took a new probable road, which means that his individual impact upon the world, and everyone he meets, will also be different and more creative than it would have been before.

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.

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.

I would prefer that those exercises not be forgotten, for I know their benefit.
